I have been loving the weather the last few days. Nice and warm, and I have been driving Mara's AWD Talon with snow tires on it.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

CVD Im sure you miss the talon now FWD has to suck a little, but you can still have some fun with it.

I sure miss the awd turbo fun, I have the quattro now for a beater but its down... been waiting for injectors because 3 of them broke when I took them out of the rail to get cleaned. Trying to get a ride or switching cars all the time is getting dumb. (The M is sleeping)

Nice and warm.

It's 21 degrees and the wind chill is 11 in Rosemount.

Shane, where in the hell are you that it's nice and warm?

I hope none of y'all locals take this the wrong way...

y'all are fucking crazy.

I made the mistake of going outside without a hood this morning for a safety walk. Thirty minutes into this excursion into the unit I completely lost feeling in my face, neck and ear region. At some point after that I believe one ear actually froze and fell off.

You have no idea how happy I will be when I get off that plane in Texas and the sun shines down on a 70 degree day.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

I am not a big cold weather guy. I don't snowmobile or ski, but after it being 0 degrees out and windy for a week and getting used to that, 20 degrees is quite comfortable. Hell, I drove a truck that didn't have any heat for a couple years in the winter, this is paradise with the Talon. This is the nice winter weather, by early February when it's been below 0 degrees for a month and too cold to even snow, then it starts to suck.

I love the snow. It's been dumping here for a few days now, and is still at it. Yesterday morning I drove up the hill out of my alley with little problem. When I came home, I talked to 3 of my neighbors that had to all get pushed/dug out when they tried to make it out. This is a small hill too, nothing major. AWD = the shiz.

Ooh, and I saw a 300M get stuck yesterday on snow-packed, flat pavement. That was a gas.

If the snow bothered me that much, I'd move. I really don't mind it at all. A little cold, makes you appreciate the warm a little more.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...

Alright, My back yard is pretty big and most of it is fenced in because we have dogs. Back behind the fence is a creek, some rocks, and a big old dead tree, then a pretty steep but not very big hill then it goes up to Cliff Road, which is fairly busy and the speed limit is 50.

Last night five drunk guys were driving around in the horrible weather and even though they weren't speeding, they some how managed to run themselves down the hill a little ways in our back yard. So four of the drunkards sit their asses in the car [one being the driver] and the other gets out to push. So The driver is desprately trying to rock the car and in the mean time, keeps almost running over the pusher. All of the sudden the pusher starts flipping out on the driver and they are yelling at each other and punching each other. This proceeds for about five minutes before they go back to rocking, pushing, and almost running over. Anyway, so some how they decide four of the drunkards should just leave. So they leave the driver to deal with the car. He decides to put jackets down infront of the tires and ends up sliding further down. Still he continues to try as cars stop and ask if he needs help [which he denies..?]. Finally a cop comes, and together, they proceed to stare at the car for a bit. Maybe they thought telepathy would help, I don't know, but whatever it was, it didn't help at all. Then another cop comes, and the telepathy continues. Still no luck, so they start walking around the car, looking at it. Still, the car doesn't move, and at this point I'm wondering if they will ever get the hell out of my yard. Finally someone [not one of the previous drunkards, thank God] shows up with a truck. To my dismay, they all come together at the top of the hill, and CONTINUE the telepathy for about ten minutes. I think they finally gave up on that because the man with the truck went over to the truck and pulled out a tow rope. After about another ten minutes he finally decided he could hook it up safely, so he did. The he got in his truck and started to pull, but his back end got sucked into the hill at little bit to. Finally he pulled himself out and the car began moving as well. He drove a ways down but all it was doing was dragging the poor little car across the back yards, still on the hill, but finally the car is dragged up onto the street. But still they stare at it for about twenty more minutes. Finally the guy in the truck leaves and then the two cops and the car guy stare for still about five more minutes then finally everyone gets the hell outta my yard.

This whole session lasted from about 2:30- just about 4 am. Wow.

Then you don't know how to drive a FWD car. Like CVD said, momentum is your friend, as well as not high-centering you car on a snow drift.

My g/f's car (1990 buick park avenue) weighs approximately 8 tons, there is nothing stopping that thing once it gets going. And if it gets stuck, rocking it using reverse and drive, and then using 2nd gear will get it out of anything. It got over a snow pile that was almost a foot tall thanks to the snow plow, and that was coming out of a parallel parking spot, so I couldn't even build up a good head of steam.
