quanto_magnus Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 You know another good car for spinnin in the snow is the old VW rabbits believe it or not... They were FWD, but the weight ditribution made for all kinds of spinny fun, it'd even do the e-brake turn in rain...Although not all FWD car do well in the snow either. I had a Chrysler Laser (last time I will buy American cars...) and it was absolutely atrocious in the snow (even with chains). ------------------ Hugha.k.a. ibhugh, Bryan Adamsemail: ibhugh@yahoo.comaolim: hugesk8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysteriousss Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I feel your pain.. I call my car "suicide on wheels" in bad weather.. It's so scary to drive in rain/snow.. I have over a 100lbs of sand in my trunk, it's a lot better with it but still not too stable.. I cannot wait for the summer already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubano43 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I'll join this club. I have a '95 Formula (like a Tran Am) and she's a bitch in the snow. Althought my traction control makes her somewhat manageable. I have have a manual.------------------Hey sugar mama come and dance with me, the smartest thing you ever did was take a chance on me!!!

djmikedr Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 advice for IS300 owners:Do NOT use the traction control.Do NOT use the "Snow" button.The only way I got around was spinnin my way through.With the ABS and traction control (which does NOT allow your wheels to spin) works GREAT in normal weather, but when the road's slippery, it actually prevents you from moving.Now my front wheel drive '92 Dodge you ask?so good I have a song:sing to "Dashing threw the snow...""BAshing threw the snowin my 92 Dodge VAn...Front wheel driven everywhere:so i dont really care!"com'mon kids! lets hear it------------------I "AM" DJ Mike D'R.spell it right!

cathyo Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Hey, I actually made it! My 1/2 hour commute home took 2 hrs. but, here I am. What's worse than being in the RIGHT lane doing 40 in a 65 (cause anything more will KILL you) and some f'ing jackoff is behind you with the highbeams flashing! You have 2 lanes to pass you fucking tool! Ooooooooo, if the roads were only dry ROAD RAGE ROAD RAGE!!------------------ A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to it's old dimensions.~*~*~Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.~*~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyo Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Now I'm sure that most of you are thinking "here's a little girlie who's afraid to drive in bad weather". I assure you, it's not me! I'm actually a good driver, in a Mario Andretti sort of way .This car I have now though is scary as SHIT! I have any older BMW 325 with rear wheel drive and a manual trans (just to make it worse). The piece of shit Plymouth I had when I first got my license did better...much better!So, I just wanted to let you all know that I will be taking my life into my hands today and tell you all how much I love you just...in...~sniff~...case...I...don't...~sniff~...make...it... Everyone be safe today!!------------------ A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to it's old dimensions.~*~*~Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.~*~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
