Lets see your proud of having 4"

And your car is ready after the season and will most likely be torn apart for some reason by March

LOL I guess it did come out that way didn't it. Not the true intent of what I wanted to pass along. Heck before he could even drive I was driving lowered Z28s over closed passes




How about I grew up and got smarter. I also figured my family would be safer in the tow rigg

Just another BS Northwest paradigm. Everyone thinks the weather is so horrible up here (It isn't), yet everyone is afraid to drive in it. I grew up driving through much worse. It's no big deal. I definitely wouldn't put my car way for the weak *** winters around these parts. Then again I ride a motorcycle year 'round to work. Even through these HORRIBLE NW WINTERS!!!!!!!

I'm from Kansas and I can assure you the weather out here is a joke compared to that. I can remember getting 1 1/2 inches of ice and then 14 inches of snow on top of that. I won't even talk about the truely bad stuff. The winters here are extremely mild. I also lived in Germany for 9 years and Colorado for 5. They have a real winter. I drove an F-Body in all of those places and while not the funnest thing I have ever done it wasn't that bad.

Which one? I'm sure I've been over it not in a F-Body but my BMW, nearly as bad as a F-Body. I was wishing we had taken my wifes car a few times on that trip.

This is hilarious, we went from racing to seeing who can drive there car in the snow further before you have to swerve for some other out of control idiot and go in the ditch.

I like my 4wd and use it in the snow to get out of the way of idiots!:O

Thank you. It's hilarious to see people driving on studded tires all winter when it barely snows a couple of days out of the year.

Ellis- Some dumbass driving fast poorly on a crowded street has nothing to do with driving in the snow. It's also extremely hypocritical to call me stupid for driving my car in the snow, but that it's ok for you to do it in a truck.
