yeah thats an oldie. we should get 3/4" of ICE ICE BABY

Phishman · 02-01-2011, 08:51 PM

On a related note, I know everyone hates the Contis but I got my coupe out of the driveway (which was a sheet of ice) this morning without even a hint of the traction control coming on. Either these are great tires or these cars have the best traction control on earth.

Pretty crazy here in Chi-town.

I think once it's had it's way with you guys, it's moving on to us in the Toronto area.

Yep, about 2 1/2' ft snow outside.

The hate is well founded.

In your case did the plow fairy and/or the sandman pay a sneak visit to your drive?

I have a house with a semi-steep driveway that starts low and goes up. I tore my entire body up in Vegas over the weekend and stood no chance of throwing a 40lb bag of salt around. I'm assuming from your post it must be the traction control lol?

btw, I'm in Cincinnati, I feel for you guys living up in the city of burning rivers right now...

vachss · 02-01-2011, 10:07 PM

Moved from the land of dirty ice and slush when I was 18 and never looked back, but I feel for you guys...

ANUSTART · 02-01-2011, 10:22 PM

We're getting thundersnow and lightening. This is a new one. Power was out for two hours and lakeshore drive has been closed for hours. Someone reported being trapped for 5 hours in their car. Crazy weather.

ZStig · 02-01-2011, 10:23 PM

tonight, I went out with maybe 1/8" of ice out, but the roads are just sheets of ice. My beater was understeering its way into the snow pile on the side of the road, so I yanked the handbrake (FWD) and lightly bounced off with my rear quater panel. lol. no damage

dekaliber · 02-02-2011, 10:03 AM

Was just out crotch-deep in snow trying to excavate my girlfriend's GTI with her. Good god it's a mess. There's snow piled up halfway up my garage door from the wind. On the bright side, the office is closed today! Time to go watch some Top Gear.

ShakyDog · 02-02-2011, 10:18 AM

I woke up Tuesday, work called and said work from home...I got in the truck and went to the convience store and got milk, a 6 pack of McSorley's Black Lager and a 12 of Bud Select. So I guess I followed the map above correctly. Most snow I have ever seen in Columbia!

saw this video from I-93 near where my dad lives. i don't know why people even try to drive on the highways when conditions are this bad.

ZStig · 02-02-2011, 11:40 AM

But did you notice that the majority of vehicles involved are SUV's and Pickups? (yes I drive an AWD Mountaineer in the winter) Four Wheel makes you go, but everyone needs to be able to stop... See the 4WD's in the ditch up here a lot.

Maybe they should slow down a bit

Now the car on it's nose, that's something you don't see too often.

Jbs · 02-02-2011, 11:55 AM

My tuesday flight was cancelled because of this shit. Currently I'm sitting on a train from Princeton to JFK to fly back to sunny socal tonight. Fucking mess :/

Can't even imagine driving the M in this lol
