Re: Snow Fun!
Dominated more snow with the WRX last night and that too rocked. Nothing like making your g/f scream b/c you have her car sideways at WOT!

Re: Snow Fun!
Real men drift on 2 wheels in the snow!!
I rode my bicycle to work before the plows went out, and let me tell you, 4 inches of powder with ruts everywhere from cars= drift mania. Managed to stay up the whole time, but it was ridiculous, it was like trying to drive a rwd car with shitty tires in the snow.

Re: Snow Fun!
Crap, I hurt something on the Volvo, she vibrates pretty good at 60 mph. The first casualty of the year.

Re: Snow Fun!
2-4" here in Rochester but it rained afterward so there is a goot 1/4" of ice on everything facing the south/southwest. Took about a half hour to thaw my car and get the doors and trunk open. The city streets are plowed but icy as hell.

Probably just snow in the wheel. Check out all 4 wheels and clean out any snow/ice in them. My avenger did that this morning too. |

Re: Snow Fun!
Yea I really miss AWD... first year driving the M with snow tires and its too easy to throw the rear end out. I tried to get into one parking lot that wasnt plowed. Uh yea, my cars too low, got in about 5 feet, plowed the snow and slowed down, so I threw it in reverse and got out of there. haha

Re: Snow Fun!
In duluth we got more than a foot...
well the drifts of snow.. but anyways
there were a couple times where people would be plowing with a 4wheeler and see me flying down the road sideways and theyd cheer me on or give me a thumbs up
that felt good

Re: Snow Fun!
saturday night i got home and couldnt make it up the driveway. there was just too much ice. weird thing is that i didnt slide at all driving the entire way home.
so i got the car onto the driveway, right at the bottom. long story short, my car got PWNED by the snowplows. woke up, half my car is fucking buried in snow. took me an hour and a half to get it out.

They were raising their fists in anger and giving you the bird.

Re: Snow Fun!
Steve, just clean out the rims. My Grand Am was the same this morning. Shook like mad. The rims just have an un-even snow pack, pack more in to even it out, or clean them out.
The Grand Ma slides nicely with the e-brake. But I have gotten it sideways a few time with out it when I didn't want to go sideways. It's fun/scary turning left while going around clover leafs.

Re: Snow Fun!
Yeah the E brake is about the only way for me to have any fun in my FWD.
