No, I expected to see a dumb *** kid **** up his car and look for advise on how to fix it. I at least got a little bit right. Somehow I missed on the looking for advise part though. Seriously though, people title their threads all different kinds of crazy ways to get peoples attention when they need help but no one shouldnt have to "worry"(not the correct word but it just kinda fits) about having BS posts like this in the improper forum. But, you just proved my point. No matter what the title says, why did you post this in a technical forum if you had no intention of getting any information out of this thread? Just to vent about your little mess up? Like I said before, there are other sections of this board to post stuff like this. I wasnt and still am not upset about this. Its not that big of a deal to me. At first I was actually joking but what it all comes down to is that Im just trying to keep this forum "clean" and on topic but I guess I was out of line since it isnt my "job". I just dont see why you got all defensive about it. Its over now so Im gonna let it go. If you wanna chat about it further, shoot me a pm but again, its not a big deal.

And hitting the median had nothing to do with the tires or the car itself, it was because nobody knew where the hell the lanes were. The car next to me was apparantly half way in my lane because i was pretty damn close to him, yet i head the median.

Your driving in the snow on DRs and wonder why your spinning out

Actually the drag radials are for the track. I have street tires for the street. And once again the tires had nothing to do with anything. It was just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The median was covered with snow and looked just like the rest of the road.

Why don't places plow? I know where I was in Chicago they plowed like crazy. In VA they don't plow at all, rather stupid if you ask me. I have DR's getting on my car, but I will NOT drive it in snow!!!!!!!
