Default Whole lotta snow coming

Starting tomorrow it's going to snow for days on end, at times really heavy. Time to make the turbo Subaru work for it's worth.

Does anyone have a few yard gnomes I can use for a while, I want to do doughnuts and drift around a parking lot bashing into the gnomes wishing they were Marcel.

Agree. No gnomes, but will be doing the same in the just tuned STi. It just stinks that I got power last night from last weeks ice storm. Good thing I picked up a generator!! Be safe messin around....and try not to hit any Marcel's.

Horrible Summer tires on my WS6... Its my only car so if it snows i guess i just stay home and wait for the roads to clear up a little, who needs snow to mess around in a parking lot anyways its more fun on dry pavement....


O ya and i mean horrible summer only tires on my rears I was going to get a set of snow tires but i figure i will wait and just get a nice set of Goodyears or some bfgs.... I need new rear tires in the next coming months.....

I only had two. You will literally love your car in the snow. There can be inches of ice and snow on the road, you'll be able to drive through it and feel so confident. Hell I was passing SUV's and regular car's on Rt 24 a while back, visibilty was about 50 feet and people were sliding out in front of my eyes and I was able to turn, brake, speed up without issues.

I didn't think they made black gnomes!!

I'll be bombing around in the Contour SE, Bitches. I remember a few years ago when I slid off the road in it. Then Joe pulls up in his Z28 all fine and dandy with his snow tires! I got some new tires on her this year though. So I should be able to make the 5 mile round trip a day that I usually do.

It better snow around here on Sunday! I spend the better part of yersterday getting the snow blower tuned up. But like most forecasts around here they go from "OH MY GOD SNOW ON SUNDAY GET YOUR MILK AND BREAD!!!" to "Meh, we may get a little, might mix with rain, we don't know."

We'll have 2-4 inches on the ground and the roads will be cleared in no time.

I think for our area it's something stupid like 12-16 inches. LOL Maybe I'll have to jack up the STi one of these days. Ya know all rally style and such with the fog lights to match!
