He's in Atlanta. I don't think they understand what winter is down there.

^^Are you not supposed to have your rims on in the winter?

maybe cause it's atlanta and it never snows. well, never minus one :_doh:

edit: i think i type slow.

thats the first time the roads iced up so i never felt the need to take them off.

And my roomate ripped the door handle of his catera trying to open the door. :rofl:

my best tip for driving on ice, if you care about your car, is you are going too fast unless everyone else is passing you. I am always the slowest driver in town on bad roads. i love my car way too much.
One last thing...stop about 50-100 feet before where you would normally stop so if you slide you have plenty of room to do it without hitting anything!
Im a safe winter driver! :)

HAHA! pWN'D :hgrin:

I usto not be... but since I wrecked a car... and banged up my moms accords fender last year... I am now!
:hithead:

edit: lol....nvm

Don't be too sure about that. That doesn't always work, espically if you're going downhill. I tried doing that this weekend, when I was in MD. Was going downhill and tried to stop on snow/ice. Kept sliding and whatnot. Brakes wouldn't work. So, only thing I could do was drag the driver-side front tire along the curb since I was in the left-hand lane. The friction against the curb brought the car to a stop, about 10 feet from the rearend of a Geo Tracker. :_doh:

THATS HOW I WENT IT THE DITCH. I was coming down a hill to a traffic light and put on my brakes waaaaaaay before the intersection. But my car just slowly rolled through the light and into a ditch.

ABS pwns U

damn.....just be lucky ur not up here in MA (or around the area) i've woken up plenty of times this year and gone outside only to discover my car wasnt there...errrr wait, i couldnt see it cuz the SNOW WAS HIGHER THAN IT!! :hithead:

god damn I'm glad I'm in Texas... it's raining here today, but snow wont be around again for prolly another 3 years or so...

actually ill take no ABS over ABS since in snow you can stop fastest by locking the brakes and piling up snow in front of your tires. On ice ABS or not nothing helps. ABS just means you wont SLIDE when stopping so if you suck at driving its easier to stop but takes longer.

its supposed to snow here today (abilene). oh yeah...why arent you supposed to have your rims on during the winter time? never knew why...sorry im from the south.

Many reasons..
1. tires usually are horrible on snow
2. Potholes can scratch them alot
3. Salt/ice everything will scratch them
4. Curbs are hidden, you'll kill the rims
5. Steelies also protect your brakes and everything else alot more from ice and other bad elements!!!
etc.

my sig looks like ur car, u might not be able to tell but i have other pics my car was completely covered in a sheet of ice.

At Least i didnt look like this

heh, that's pretty much no big deal compared to what happens up here in NJ pretty much every year..

winter suck...

2 weeks ago it snowed 1.5 inches in Raleigh, NC. The DOT never saw it coming. It took me 6 hours to go 4 miles. It's not that I don't know how to drive in snow/ice (I'm originally from New Jersey) but there were so many cars on the road at the same time. It was horrible, school busses were on the roads, still trying to drop of kids until 11:30PM that night. It took some 12+ hours to get from downtown Raleigh to other parts of the city. Here's a weblog of people who were stuck in traffic that day: http://www.wral.com/news/4108873/detail.html

Sorry dumb question but I know when you tell me Im going to slap myself but right now I cant think of what mg means?
