Snow Is Coming!
Mine's not so "pampered" since it's unlucky enough to be a daily driver.It goes,so or no,unless it's too deep.If you listen closing you may be able to hear it sobbing lightly in my driveway...hahaha
Morning drive on ice rant !
That Jeep should be horse whipped !!!
This mornings drive from St Mary's Hospital area to Bristol on Rt 413 was very interesting,almost didn't make it up the hill at the twin railroad bridges area just before you get to Langhorne Boro.Had a good running start then ended up behind a line of cars that thought it would be a good idea to slow down at the bottom of the hill then try to accelerate up the slickery thing !!
I ended up going from 4th to 1st gear,almost to a dead stop,thought my goose was cooked.Traction control going on & off,made it up the hill so slow the speedo wasn't even at 5 mph,thought I was going to have to pull over & walk.Then when I got home this afternoon had to get a running start to make it up the 5-10 degree incline on my driveway cause I got stuck the 1st time.I wish I could afford to by a winter car so I could park mine too,oh well !

Yeah, I remember driving my Camaro in all kinds of bad weather... and I'll never do it again!! I'm so thankful I have a garage and a winter car (Grand Am), I can't imagine not having them now.
My Z was a daily driver for the first few years, when the snow was bad my wife would stay home and I'd use the family car. But I did get caught in a few "light" snow storms. Once you get the car moving it's not so bad. But once you stop the car only wants to move sideways.
Japanese invented drifting! HA - Drive an F-body in anything other then DRY CONDITIONS and you'll learn what drifting is!

We got 14 inches of snow/ice here last week...It was real funny when I put my 2 cousins in my backseat at 300 lbs a piece. All these 4 wheel drives were going down the road and then here comes a Z28 LOL...Everyone just stopped shoveling and watched me go up a hill. It's funny! But I just said to my dad, This year it gets stored a touch before Thanksgiving...These cars weren't meant to drive in this crap

I have a 2 car garage/driveway & I drifted my F-body sideways,completely sideways trying to get up it ! That was funny !



I miss driving it.

I just drove the 97 TA last Friday. No snow, but plenty of salt dust. Great for getting that wild rear car slide without all the slush build up on the chassis.
