There was a foot of snow on the ground this morning at 6 am, the plows going by all night plowed up a solid two foot deep bank of slushie ass snow at the end of the driveway.



So I'm not going to work



Anyways





I get out to go Christmas shopping which I haven't done yet (that was at 9 am)



On the way out of one mall, some stupid guy from massachusets (plate said so) was driving a SWEET new style mini (keep in mind the road conditions mentioned above), and he was driving real slow, pulls up to a light and stops. Light turns green, brake lights shut off, car doesn't move though. I look closer, you could see the really aggressive treaded ZR compound tires (summer only). He was stuck in the snow on the ground. Like actually stuck not moving. Plows go by on the roads so the roads aren't bad. Unless you have ZR summer tires. Idiot.





Then on the way back from a different mall, I smelled rubber and burnt oil, I thought the car was dying for a second, then I see all this smoke, I'm like WTF. Some guy had an old like 1984 Monte Carlo and it blew the **** up in the middle of the road, fire department was putting it out.





Neat eh?

I edited some of my vulgarness, I proof read after I hit "post thread".

my jetta almost nailed a hertz truck and i missed a stop sign and slid onto a highway while drifting the entire time after hitting the e-brake blindly into traffic.



Bitch will not stop, tires are too bald.



I think it needs studs or something....needless to say i found the first empty parking lot and practiced a bunch of maneuvres in the snow.

I was driving a FWD new chrysler sebring, I can't decide if my RX7 would be more fun or less fun.



The sebring goes really well in the snow, RX7 just wants to go sideways and not forward.

I drove from Toronto to London last night and saw more ambulances than snowplows from Kitchener to London. I don't thnik they were even out there trying. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png



teh Intrepid works good in the snow, especially with the Michelins I have on it. all-seasons but they work darn good on that thing.
