Cold weather is here
I dont know about u guys but I live in the lower part of NY and we just got hit with like 10 inches of snow.
Which is bad news for us RWD car owners. As much as i love drifting, i need some traction. Whats everyone else doing for the winter?

winter tires and slow driving.
I took it up the poconos two weeks ago. It started snowing big time when I left around 9:00pm. There was so much snow and fog and wind that I couldn't see 20 feet in front of my car with the high beams. I just took it easy and just kept up with the flow of traffic. Every now and then there were jacka$$ going 80, but I just bit my tongue and watched em drive by (Normally, I'd try to go by em).

The snow I can manage fine...just the damn ice on the other hand...and even worse....black ice. Lucky enough for having the torque to just coast over most ice without slipping....even on a hill where my girlfriend lives

the worst part is the other drivers on the road. alot of people here have no concept of ice. they think that oh since i drive an suv i can go thru anything.
