Default 1st snow in chicago!

Anyone else need to get their car towed yet? I woke up at 430 to try and get to work at 6. I am rolling on zr1s with 11 inch eagle f1s on the back. I shouldve left it in the driveway. I am sitting right outside of my work right now, and I just called off.

i hate the first snow... reminds me that 99% of the people on the road are MORONS

"oh no, there's an inch of snow on the ground to the side and the main road has been plowed... I should go 25mph instead of the posted 50mph"

my 10 minute commute turned into 45 minutes this morning because there are so many morons in the world

No worries here. I drove to work today with my Blizzaks on no problem. I still hate winter though.

The people you were driving with were FLYING then....I think I got up to a max of 10mph.

Guess this stuff has never happened in Chicago before today

Just wondering... why wouldn't you drive your car out?

GTO did great. I love a lil snow on the street to play in.
