Default Old man winter is kicking my a$$!!!!

With winter time already here and everyone putting their cars away till next season I figured I could post some pics of what I have to go through with my TA being my daily driver. I really need to invest in some snow tires...I can't seem to get any traction with these BFG's! I wonder why? (Excuse the slow shifting but I saw a car ahead and couldn't decide to keep burning em up or shut down and go! Cops are sneaky around here)




I figured you guys would like that! Anyway I figured it was time for some new pics because I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with snow and ice and all that nasty stuff. (Sorry for the horrible lighting, it was already sunset as you can see) I can drive all year long! Enjoy!









Me and the bro's truck. He wanted to show it off too!

I think it's Old Man River . .

It's most likely the cold pavement causing traction issues also. I have a 3.8L Firebird as my daily driver and still get no traction. I'm going the speed limit but there is always some idiot who is blazing through the streets.

That thing is beautiful man. Better pictures are needed to get the full effect of the car. But, it is very nice, nonetheless.

If I remember right I don't think it has EVER gotten that cold here. From November to February we average a low of 41 degrees.

I'm just not good with adjusting the options on the camera itself, especially with it starting to get dark like these pics. I really rushed trying to get everything in before the sun went all the way down. If you look at my other posts with pics of my car they came out clear as day and crystal. All the other pics were taken in good lighting so I wouldn't have to mess with the camera itself. Technology ownz me!

Loved the videos and you've got a great looking/sounding car. I'm looking at 6 inches of new snow right outside my window and I'm in Ohio. SUCKS! Recently moved from South Carolina where I could drive my car year round. Oh well, not much I can do except wait till April.....

I'll deal with the 4 hours of snow since the majority of it will probably melt today and the rest on Sunday. But I guess I did speak too early...I had to leave my car at my girlfriend's apartment or risk death driving home. LOL I had my bro pick me up in the truck so all is good.

You could have atleast waited for that guy to go away before taking a pictures of him bending over. If it was a hot chick, it would have been alright.
