Default first snow....

We are having our first big snow of teh winter here in ohio. I work only 3 min from home, and during those 3 min, well about 8 because of the snow, I remember how crappy stangs handle in the snow.....My rearend was sliding out at a whopping 5 mph on turns....guess it's time to get out the bobsled as a means of transportation.....

I feel your pain except my "snow" was actually about .000001 inches of ice and I'm in TX and I have a 6 so one wheel drive woohoo, but yeah I slid out of my drive way and down the street it was kind of fun, except for the part where I couldn't stop and almost took out a guys Camrao SS and a Quad Cab Ram, and a riced out 96 Cobra, and a Cavalier etc.

Snow......... what's that?[sm=wtf.gif] Is that the white stuff that falls from the sky when its real cold and makes driving a bioatch, man we had a little bit of that during Christmas day last year, should of taken a picture of that, because even sleet is rare in Southern Louisiana, none the less snow on Christmas day.

put about 4 road salt bags in your trunk, on top of the wheel wells. thatll add a good 200lbs to your rearend and help your traction, also get some studded snows. were supposed to get anywhere between 6-12 inches of snow here, which means we'll get about 1-2 inches.
