Default Chevy Cruze

Well I went down in a big ball of wtf. Weak sauce power won this one. I have to admit I thought 3rd gear at 40mph would be enough... Instead I spun pretty well and he just kept pulling away. No snow on the ground either. . Been sick for a few weeks and haven't left the house... Apparently the traction at 8 degrees is worse than I remembered lol.

Anything going on with you guys? I'm obviously sol until spring in the street/strip department.

Damn man, better be careful on that cold pavement. Whats the deal with those Cruzes anyway? Are they decently quick?

Not a damn thing going on my way. Lots of credible competition, but no bites.

It was an LTZ if that matters... But I actually pushed out sideways at speed so I pretty much said screw it as soon as I realized there was no traction. Lol. He got to be a hero that day I guess. Lol

He was driving aggressive and decided he was going to pass me, I figured I would entertain myself and stomp his ego a bit. Fail for me lol
