I tried getting up with Snake, but I guess that he wasn't at the mall today...place was slammed with people and cars. Saw some awesome cars there today, including the 2015 Mustang.
Yeah Heater sorry I missed you. I was about a half hour away from the mall and my buddies were wanting to just chill and watch cars on the strip. I was at the mall Friday.

LoL, I wasn't going near the strip. It is great if you have a hotel and can sit on the balcony and watch the cars drive past....with the occasional person showing their *** and getting pulled over.

Precisely, plus I'm with 3 buddies who aren't really car guys, so while I wanna go see Mustangs, they wanna chase tail...no shame in that but I wanted to see cars for this one week a year.

I had a blast. While walking the strip, Mustangs everywhere, there was always someone in a Camaro or Corvette revving their ****. I've never asked so many people if their car was a V6 in my life. Their faces were priceless. I literally give zero ***** if people think it's a dick move...it's Mustang Week, if I wanna be a dick to Git R Dun owners, I will

.....aaaaaaand holy **** what is up with EVERY truck having the front end jacked up and rear end squatting low? The first one or two I saw I thought their suspension blew out...then I saw like 20 of them. Is that the new thing?

The truck thing is what the young kids are doing, it's called "squatters".

Everyone should spend a winter in an area where it snows driving a RWD vehicle. When on throttle power slides become a necessity to make it up hills you learn very quickly how to not lift like a bitch.
This... After 13 years driving an fbody in the winter I can almost tell where the car is going to go before I even touch the gas. I remeber the first few years though.... Being 18/19 and lacking experience I spun my lt1 z more times than I care to count.

*knock on wood* Haven't spun a car yet, but I stay my *** home when it snows. Not so much because I'm worried about my driving (though I do), but NOBODY in TX knows how to drive in the snow...it's a mess.

I've spun my Fbody out once on a wet road and across a few lanes of traffic (nothing bad happened thankfully) and the other time it was cold on bold street tires and it ate **** in a ditch. I spun out my V6 Mustang once going around a corner in the rain too fast lol.

Actually you know what, I once did a 180 in my Integra in the rain. Felt the back end coming around, so I just turned into the spin and hit the brakes. Wasn't going fast, so I stopped pretty immediately.

You all are making way to big a deal of driving in the snow. It's fun and easy.

My friend got the biggest bullshit ticket today. The ticket says he was pulled over for being in a convoy or cars that had received complaints and that he attempted to accelerate unlawfully lol. I don't think that's going to hold up in court.

Not when you live in a state that doesn't prep the roads at all for the most part and nobody has any experience driving in snow.

It hardly ever snows in my area, the surrounding mountains usually get all of it. So when it does snow or they are calling for snow then everything shuts down. This past winter there was over 100 cars total that ran into the ditches bc it simply just doesn't snow that much for people to learn how to drive in it. Thats why i have a 4x4 truck just in case i have to get out i know i won't get stuck. Hell most people or the red necks end up driving their 4Wheelers or a Polaris to the stores.

I promise you all you're making a way bigger deal of it then it actually is. Not to mention you're missing out on a lot of fun.

Even easier in a truck. Think mine has been out of 2wd twice in the last 4 years and one time was sheer ice and another time was pulling another truck out of the ditch (Ford, of course)

On the rare occasions we get winter precipitation here, Mother Nature is definitely on her period. I just stay my *** inside;
