Default Winter Driving!

I was just wondering if everybody has the same problem i have. Man, its terrible outside; the roads are covered with snow and ice and I keep sliding and stucking everywhere...I even put 2 sandbags in the trunk, 70lb each, not a big help. Can't wait till Summer comes again!

Learn to drive. Get snow tires. It's not like you have some lightweight torque monster. Yeah, you'll slip around a bit, but if you know how to drive, you shouldn't have too many problems in the snow. Ice is a different story, but snow is manageable.

its easy to drive in a little bit of snow... its only hard when there is like 4+ inches of snow on the ground or if you have to stop on a hill...

go to your local firestone and buy 2 winterforce tires (blizzak knock-offs) and slap a limited slip in the rear, i used to be able to get snow to come flying up over the front air damn on my camaro with that set up (meaning 6" or so of snow!)

I used to swap over snow tires onto my wife's '00. The High-performance tires just dont cut it in the winter. Especially with the lead coated shoes she wears. hehe.

With snow tires and one 70lb bag of sand and the traction control, it did pretty well in the snow in Colorado.

I sold the snow tires in the last garage sale we had in Colorado before we moved to Vegas. Haven't had to worry about snow driving here yet. ;-)
