Well and the sad thing is that even people that live in snow prone areas still cant drive in the snow. Even when they have the proper tires.

Soooo true! It's the people that don't have a clue that cause a lot of the traffic problems.

Going too fast in the snow is a problem, but going too slow can be a problem too.

Exactly. Thats why whenever I have to drive in the snow even with the right tires I take it a nice safe pace that I know if anything were to happen I could negotiate still. It is even harder when you are hauling a trailer cuz you got to keep the trailer behind you at the same time.

We did have a blizzard here in '93. It was devastating.

During the night we were having thundersnow. It was snowing so hard you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you, but lightning was flashing and thunder was crashing all around. I saw lightning striking transformers left and right. When it was all over, the temp dropped into the 10's and stayed. Power lines fell, and things froze. We didn't have power or water for 3 weeks (most people have wells, no power = no power to run the pump). I tried to leave in my lifted Bronco, but 100 feet from the driveway, it was buried up to the windshield and wouldn't push any further. Had to go back and ride it out.

Here is a little about it if you were too young to remember. It was called the storm of the century

Ours tend to be several feet deep off of each side of the road, and from what I have seen you guys don't really have ditches, just 6 inch drop offs from the side of the road. And I love when the people up north talk about driving on ice. Nobody can drive on ice. It is out of control period. Ice is ice. Put a yankee in Georgia during an ice/snow storm and lets see how you guys drive. It wouldn't be pretty I promise.
I understand. You just have to understand it's fun to poke at people who don't have to go through 6 months of snow. We do have some pretty large ditches around here, but every road is different.

I guess the link was intended for me.

I know we got a big storm on halloween in '91, but of course I don't remember that either. Other than that, we usually get one good storm worth a foot of snow a year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Hopefully we won't get one this year.

No, it was a once in a lifetime storm. I saw rednecks with badass lifted 4x4s pulling National Guard HUMVEES out of snow banks that they were stuck in. It was pretty funny, they thought they could go anywhere, but the rednecks had to get them out with their big trucks. My lifted Bronco only made it 100 feet from the driveway before it buried up to the windshield and had to back up to the house.

Not that impressive until you realize that this was the deep south. **** like that doesn't happen in a lifetime.

well, you gotta have something to drive

Which finish holds up better, especially through snow, ice, salt, and dirt?
I would thnk clear coat

that's probably about right

[quote=Blue Notch;5773780]I wish mufflers were easier/cheaper to change out. I want to try flowmasters just for the heck of it, but that'd be at least $300. This sounds sooooo good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQY1qcGQrfo

so after tint, the first thing I wanna do to mine is exhaust. Which is the best one to get, borla stingers?

I've decided to either get one of the darker blues or the dark grey color

There's only so many parking spots at school, so you have to enter a lottery to buy one. I got one again, so it's a big relief.

The best one to get is whichever one you like the sound of the best. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth. Borla is pretty high quality though!

Her-"that's kinda dumb. it's wet."
Me-"that's the whole point!"
Her-"aren't they worried about hitting a tree?"
Me-"no."

If you can get a parking spot, you shouldn't have any problem getting a piece of tail.
