I drove my Carrera GT to work today. Don't see what the big deal is.
Be careful, apparently you can completely obliterate one of those at 35mph :rolleyes:Quote:

Merry Christmas
Test driving a customers car in this weather when it has bald tires is down right scary. Just saying.
Did yoy find out why it was revving so high when you mash the gas while in first gear this morning?Quote:

Around 8 they tried to get all the people who had canceled appts back in but most opted out because by noon it was coming down pretty good. Around 1 they started sending people home.[Bang]
My car with the studded hankook I-pike is rather boring. So it is still coming down. Attachment 37569
Took all of 5 min to go 1.5 miles for some additions to my chicken soup. Knowing there's 2 lanes and driving in them, seem to be 2 different things for some folks.
Had some asshat slide through a turn and push my bumper into my tire. I was able to pull the bumper out but now I get to deal with insurance and the body shop for the second time in three months.

Fixed... See, that's what happens when you drive around stupid people in this weather- their stupid tends to flake off and stick to you for a few minutes... [LOL]Quote:

Test driving bobtail semi trucks is no fun in this... 2000 ft lbs of torque and no weight on the ass end makes for some interesting unintentional drifting
I had to drop my Ecoboost F150 of at the dealer, they told me it had a cracked spark plug. WTF... 50,000 miles, what a piece of crap. Ford should be the one paying for this. They gave me a front will drive loaner Escape with bald tires. I barely made it up a hill this morning. I felt like that guy I always curse for being unprepared for the Co weather.
Very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong drive up to DIA & back today, but safe & sound, thank the Good Lord! Wow, some drivers, though. People off the road all over, lots of fender benders & worse.
Jerry, I saw those studded tires yesterday, must have been nice today...
LOL. You got off easy.Quote:

Every time it snows in a big city, everyone is having the exact same conversation.

Saw a sweet single car accident on 225 heading south past 6th. I was in the middle lane doing about 45 and cars were whipping past me on the left and right. One car was probably doing 55+ hit the brakes and went right into the concrete barrier. There was visible ice and very slick. Dumbass. Have a nice day.
1.9 degrees in Broomfield. NICE!!!!
I saw a guy riding his bicycle on the bike path, makes me want to try it.
Been there, done that. Icicles hanging off my beard, could hardly feel my fingers, braking was a bit difficult! But I DID it, I had to get home from work somehow. Then I got older & wiser... [Coffee]Quote:

Been plowing,
Pulled Sanata out of the ditch in his suburban.
Had a guy doing 45 in a 25 bald tires barely miss me then pulled him out of the ditch he went in for $50.00
Pulled an Audi out of about 8" of snow,,, LMAO the chick said that she was told they can't get stuck. $25.00 and Audis, don't have any where to hool em.
-14 whne I got up we lost power for around 4 hours, put the ice hut heater under the house to keep pipes warm brought the big hunting heater inside just in case. Power back at about 5:40. prepped we was. 22 at this time down right Hot out there.
OK lunch is over back to pushing snow.
Oh, you mean the people who actually prepared for winter in Colorado by buying quality winter tires & knowing how to drive safely in snow? Pro tip: doing 25mph in a 55mph zone in dry pavement because you see some snow on the side of the road is NOT safe driving.Quote:

I'm fine with the fact that you can't drive in the snow, even when there isn't any on the ground speak of, but don't make it my problem too.Quote:

Pop quiz: All else equal, rank the amount of "traction" you would have in the following conditions:
a. 0F on ice
b. 32F on packed snow
c. 90F on wet worn asphalt
most to least: b, a, c?

If we get to enroll Miami in this quiz, 90f on wet asphalt is the most treacherous driving conditions that exist. Granted, 90f on dry brand new asphalt isn't much safer down there...[Bang]Quote:

I backed off the throttle a smidge (technical term), and it straightened right out, but it was a bit unsettling. For some reason, I didn't see the need to panic, or put the truck in 4 wheel drive, just slowed down until I was off the skating rink...
This reminds me of a snow storm in Boulder back in 2006. I was near Walnut and Broadway and watched a car turn left onto Broadway from (not Walnut because thats a one way there), anyways, about 6" of snow on the ground and she was turning left while talking on the cell phone. Her back end broke out and she couldn't turn, was headed straight for the stop light and also didn't see the need to panic or drop her cell phone as she slammed into the light pole. After she stopped, she kept yakking away. [Shake]Quote:
