The great part is... I am not stuck.

Nick

that's cause it's jacked up like a damn truck. Look at the fender gap on that bitch!

hahahahahaha

my car won't do that :(
it's a bitch in the snow. The accord's much better.

THe fender gap on the STi isnt bad. The gap on the WRX is horrible.

Nick

anything more than two fingers is too much!

on cars

Not in MI. My car was bottoming out to make the 180.

Nick

pussy


hahahahaha
my accord used to spark if I drove into crappy Baltimore. I had to raise it back up.

Not that low, I meant on the snow.

Nick

but how often does it snow that much?

December - February.

giggle, on cars

And wtf, STi does not have huge gap, it's perfect for the street.

Either way, I drove my slammed m3 all winter last year, in some heavy snow. Never got stuck on the road!

poor bmw

I bought the car to use it. I'd rather be in a safe car during wintertime than a shitty daily driver. Either way, the superb driving dynamics of the m3 translated well to poor weather/snow with the appropriate snow tires.

Chris

a m3 is hardly a safe wintertime car IMO
same goes for almost all BMW's, my father has gone thru about 5 740il's and always bitches about the winter, which is why he bought the H2.

I am speculating your dad did not run appropriate tires. I wouldn't say an m3 is an IDEAL winter car, but it performed very well. Again, with the proper tires, I had more than enough available grip to corner, stop, and accelerate. Again, I'd much rather be in my m3 than a beater car during any season, because I trust its german engineering, and safety features. Winter driving isn't just about your driving ability/car's ability, it is also about how the car will protect you in the (likely) event some other idiot doesn't know how to control their tahoe, h2, etc.

Chris

dont get me wrong, my father never once crashed his cars, he was just bitching about traction etc.

My car...with 400 lb/ft of torque....is fun in the rain. ;)

Like a Soccer Mom yakking on her cell phone?

I have driven many sports cars in snow. Tires definatly make a difference. My mom used to drive an 87 Vette year round and I would take it out in the snow. It wasn't too bad for a performance car in a few inches of snow. Her XKR would has no prob as long as your moving, but it gets stuck in about 1" of snow if it is at a stand still.

Nick

i like snow cause its the only time i can acctually do anything fun in my car since its an awd

I like rain too...

Nick

Drifterz.....

My car sucks in the snow you have to go slow or youll wind up in a spin and into a pole or a car or something. Im thinking of getting another car for winter but what to get i havent decided.

I like rain too...

Nick

Rains good too

I also love to snowboard, but it barely fits into my car.

Nick

Yeah, wtf were they thinking with no fold-down seats.

No shit. My WRX had a little pass through but it was barely big enough to fit one board through.

Nick

Thats why you get a pick up truck with 4wheel , I got a ford ranger that does all my tote jobs.

I like to go fast too much to have a small truck.

Nick

just get a snowboard rack for the subie.

They arn't cheap. I could get a new set of Tien springs and a swaybar for the same price as a rack. It is so hard to spend that kind of money for somthing to haul shit around in. Maybee eBay can help me.
