You suck... I want to go drive now before it gets plowed.


I was trying to get over an over pass from a dead stop earlier (7:30) and the f-in scion wouldn't grip up no matter how much I babied it... Man FWD sucks lol.
Oh and all these computers onboard now are GAY too, anytime I get a slide going, the car decides it knows what's best and slams on the brakes and auto centers. Even with traction off too. POS.......lol

It's your tires on that Scion. Low profile probably and not all-weather tread for winters. The salesman will state "they'll work fine" in snow. And they are the ones that jump into their AWD, traction control SUV's.

Tires would probably be fine if the tread wasn't about 1/4" above the wear bar...

Man it snowed like a fiend over in Grand rapids MI last night and this morning...about 7-8 inches. Travel sucked and lots of cars/trucks into the ditches.

Bad Scene.

Yeah, Michigan really got hammered. We were up just south of the U.P. over the weekend and they got like 15 inches in a matter of 36 hours.
