Default #%*@ Snow!!

AHHH dammit! We got a good 2-3 inches of snow and ice here this morning, my car wouldnt even get down the street and straight lines are out of the question!

Of course got caught without my snow tires on so the car isnt going anywhere today going to be missing at least one of my classes today.

This is going to be a long winter....

I drove mine through five Winters on the stock tires without any issues. The only time I got stuck was in the Church parking lot (parked on ice that melted and the car sunk). I am glad that I have the truck now though...

Thats why it is a good investment to buy a winter beater. Use a small percentage of your mod money to buy a POS.

Hopefully this will be the last winter the car sees I am really wanting to invest in a beater after seeing the way this thing handles the snow.

I got the snow boots on it though, I'll get some pictures up soon

Yep dry here as well, but its ok even if it does snow because I have a beater and the car is going into storage today. Winter is only an excuse to tear my car apart and do some internals.

Me and a couple buddies took out teh beaters last weekend when it snowed and fucked around. My friend yanked teh E brake on his 05 monte carlo and slid into a sign, honestly the kid is a complete dumbass so I couldn't help but laugh.
