    Default Stuck in the snow this morning? Cobb btw.

    Anyone else get stuck in the snow in their old schools? Dang z rated tires and slippery conditions don't make it alot of fun to drive. I was stuck for about an hour until I gained enough momentum to get out of the street I was on and head back home to park it for a few hours.



    I have been dailying mine for the past 2 weeks with no heat, a few holes in the firewall don't help any either. My feet become frozen by the time I get to work.
    I am hoping to swap motors soon out of the 620 to become my daily driver.

    Unless it snows in the Garage, I shouldn't be having any problems, lolol. From the trip home after buying that thing to now, you've had quite a set of adventures in that damn car. Later, QD.

    I felt like i was lying when i called out to work this morning. But then when i acually tried to drive today at noon, i couldn't get out of the driveway! Took me about 20 minutes of sliding around and shoveling ice.

    My neighbor had very hard time trying to leave his driveway with his truck. It took him maybe 20 minutes just trying to get out of his little hill drive way. It was funny at the end when he just flooded it from frustration and sped off like a mad man..lol.

    I spun around in the ice/snow last night....but of course It was all on me. Was about 10pm with NO traffic. Simulating control loss is nice, gives you a head up. Ended up doing a 360 and sled about 50 feet backwards. Now I know not to drive fast on these tires...definitely not snow/ice capable.

    Glad I wasn't the only one with incapable tires and glad you were okay. The funniest thing was there was this lady in a red newest style beetle that went by and it was almost like she was mocking me. She didn't have a problem at all, then like 10 minutes later she was going back the otherway. I was thinking the roads must be closed but she went back by again the same direction that I got stuck and it was with ease. But for the life of me, I was stuck and she was mocking me. I almost wanted her to get stuck but it was just a bad day for the z tires to be on the road. The funniest part of the whole thing was I kept thinking someone is video taping me and probably laughing their asses off, that I was stuck. LOL

    put mine in a very small ditch going very slow. Shit I could have stepped put of the car and stopped it by hand lol. I drove it right back out. No harm no foul.

    Today I drove to the middle of a completely icey lot, and just started having at it for fun. My summer tires don't fare too well with the snow, but I let a few psi out of the rear tires to increase the contact patch, it worked.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
