    Default anyone have fun w/ ice this morning?

    it took me about 10 mins to get my benz out of the drive way this morning...

    my dub back right on out but my benz couldn't get traction for shit and kept spinning the tires... i then tried to do a 3 pt. turn to turn around so i can drive forward out and then i got stuck had to push is out of the edge of the yard... finally got it turned around took off traction control and launched it out of the garage

    I did last night, went to a friends house about 4 houses down and the driveway is a nice little slop. Soon as I hit the hill I started spinning and couldn't make it up.

    nothin new. just be cautious, give some space.


    had a hard time getting into my garage(steep hill driveway). had to start from the middle where its dry and get a running start. other than that,

    it was pretty hilarious cruisin by all the fucked up cars on the side of 85 last night on my way into work. everybody still wants to speed when the weather is bad.

    My driveway's pretty steep and when i came home last night....I got up the driveway about 5 feet and started spinning and rolling backwards. Backed off and tried a few more times and didnt even get my back tires up any and just spun the whole time, so I had to park on the street

    i decided to take my expedition out because i didnt think the mustang would make it, well pulling out of the garage lost traction and slid down into the ditch and got stuck there... (steep driveway) got in the mustang that was already parked in the driveway and did fine.. funny how that works..

    The parking lot was pretty Icy so I spun the tires a couple times for giggles.
