Yep, here is mine. Been driving it in the ice/snow everyday. Its my only car, so no option here. This was before it got bad out, maybe a hour into the storm. And yes, its all ICE, no snow. My yard has about 4" of solid ice in it. you can hit it with a hammer & barely crack the ice.

man... you NEED to get a 2nd vehicle! I know my car on the snow and ice blows big time, and it's only happened twice, so yours must be even worse.

Tell me about it man, this state is not prepared for anything other than sunny weather. My car has been in the garage since Thursday. I slid past my driveway in the 4x4 Trail Blazer on the way back from work today, and busted it in the driveway. The ice is insane, and they are saying 10 inches of snow over the weekend

You got it. I swear the snow plows here don't know what they are doing. Back home in AK the roads will be clear within the hour of a reasonable snow. Not here.... here all the side streets are now 1 lane death traps, and cars are parking in the middle of the road because the plows didn't clear all the way to the side walk. Today I was over the center line on a fairly populated college road because of the cars parked on the sides.

Oh yeah, I found out my front tires are getting bald

I really don't have any problems. Its just figuring out exactly how the car will react to X amount of gas & brake usage. I make it all the way into work & back home everyday which is about 30 miles each way without any problems.

I see people goin WAY too slow in it & I pass them. I know slow is safe, but I'm not gonna let some paranoid person get me stuck cause they wanna do 10 MPH. I have been doin about 30-40 on all my streets leading to the highway from my house. Haven't lost it not once, but see people goin slower & using too much brake goin all over the place.

Some people just have no business even gettin out in this crap & attempting to drive in it. I always watch everyone very closely & try to avoid the ones goin too fast & too slow. I like it the best early in the morning when I'm the only car on the road.
