Snow Sucks!!!

well i finally got to find out how these tires dont handle in snow!!! ass got puckered 2 or 3 times.....shes parked until it is off the roads! antilock brakes helped but man, its like trying to stop a train with a rubber band. summer only tires are not ment for snow, gota get the p zero M&S..... thanks to all that gave me the heads up on my other thread on what to expect, it helped out knowing i needed a 100 extra yard to stop

I didnt do so bad in the ice... just a 360 but that was on purpose. You just have to know how to drive a stick, and how to NOT use the brakes to stop, and how to use the e-brake to help you slow down. We had a nice coating of ice this morning and last night. It was quit fun. And what was even more fun was going 60 down I-20 this morning on the way to work... sliding between lanes lol... hmmm... stupid... no... just fun

yea, the first real snow we got last week I had to drive home while it was still snowing. traction stucked, but I managed to get home with minimal slipping. fun part was coming to a dead stop and spinning the tires for a good 40 -60 seconds without any movement...haha. if the girly wasn't in the car too i'd have had more fun.
