@!#$ @!#$ @!#$ @!#$ did I mention @!#$!!!!


winter sucks, ok so I blew out the driveway this morning and then proceeded to try to make it to work, well getting down my street was the first challenge, its going slow but ok then all of a sudden I cam to dead stop! seems that my sub frame brace decided to attach itself to a HUGE piece of ice that was buried under the snow and I didnt see it, after 30 minutes of getting off the ice, I make it to tim hortons and decide @!#$ that im not leaving town so I turn around and head home but on the main road this time, but I eventually have to get off and go on the side streets cause thats where I live and of course there is only one way for me cause nothing has been plowed yet so I head back down the same street I came from and get stuck again because someone in an suv decides they need the whole road so I had to move and got stuck!!! so by now I just want to leave the car and walk home, I finally get home and after an hour of trying to get in my driveway I gave up because the car was overheating and I could only make it up the first 15 feet, man I hate winter!!!




the start of the journey




the road I have to travel




and where the cars sits now

damn, u all got some snow! i think that id just stay home lol

Yea Rich i hear ya. I'm sick of this snow and getting stuck myself haha

My street is the same way, it's gotta be the last street on the list to plow.

i know what your saying guy... my street is just as bad if not worse... its weird because its usually one of the first to get plowed because i live right across the street from a highschool... took me half an hour to move my car up from the back of the driveway after spending and hour shoveling it...

why not just try and drive up it rather than back up it



swapped, supercharged, intercooled, 2.9, fun

ok now im not trying to say that it should have been easy or anything because pictures tell a different story... but to me the road and your driveway do not look like it would hard to drive on.

i really dont see how you got stuck in your driveway either.

is that a tie bar i spy under the back?



Wanting a nice set of black 17's with mint tires? Pm me.

Looks like the same crap we get here in NY all the time from sitting directly east of all the great lakes. Gay lake effect snow. Its great for people who like to do snow sports, but i'm not one of em.

because you get a better grip by going in reverse I tried forward but that was worse

I'll take that over what was happening on my street. We had about 8 inches of snow fall then right after that we got a mix of sleet and rain thus making the snow a little slushy, but not enough to get rid of it. Now mix that with the 0 degree weather and you come up with 6in. mounds and potholes of ice. I cant tell you how many times a I scraped my Lip kit (even with a stock suspension).

oh I forgot to mention that we had freezig rain for half a day before this snow came... grrrr rabble rabble rabble rabble

here is a shot takin from my upstairs window

Well I live in Chicago and my roads consistently look like that and I think my Z must be a champ because it has no problem going up and down driveways/roads in conditions like that. My back tires are extremely bald because i rotated them from the front and i actually enjoy it because the ass end gives out around corners allowing me to fish tale!

yes that is, I am riding on koni reds GC coilovers and eibach springs, front sub frame brace and strut bar, eibach rear sway bar rear strut bar and gm tie brace, oh and I never got my car raised in time for winter so I am low on the coilovers, still have 2.5 inches left, but I am low like 3" from ground height...

Thank Jesus for California.

Toss some anti skid crap down and your fine. Try living on a dirt road thats on a hill. It snows, we are the last to get plowed and when it melts the road turns into a mud pit with ruts everywhere. I would kill to live on a street like that where they will atleast plow it that day. I have had to leave my cav. alteast a mile away and walk home on more than one occasion. So excuse me if i dont feel sympathy for you.

no sympathy wanted lol just ranting and starting a post for other winter haters lol

Snow sucks

ha yeaaap

that sucks dude...

we got the freezing rain too, but luckily the snow didnt hit us, maybe im just too far north....

Looks great, despite the snow!

You either can't drive in snow for a donkey's dick or you need tires.

That looks easy as cake to drive through/up/around/in.

That snows nothing...........good thing your not here in Newfoundland. Snow in those pics is a light sprinkle.

No offense, but this winter in WI we've got regular snow amounts like that every other day. I don't know how you couldn't drive in that. I should have snapped pictures of a REAL snowstorm. We've had storms where the snow on the road was ACTUALLY up to the front bumper of the car. I was plowing through it. It was slow going, but still made it. It was funny to drive by the police here with their POS rear wheel drive cop cars stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic. Bu seriously, that amount of snow is nothing....don't see why you had such a problem.
