Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I don’t even need to think about it, I’d say that yes most people are not prepared for winter. A way to stay warm and cook with no electricity, a store of food and water, salt, shovels, etc etc.
From the way people were fighting each other and taking BUCKETS of salt the other year, yeah I doubt more than half are prepared.
Been lightly snowing in Squamish since 10am, now it is coming down pretty steady and there are 3" on the ground already. Expecting 12" tonight and another 5" tomorrow.
Well that was fun. Im not gonna lie this snow storm took me by surprise. Im glad my truck is more than capable in it. Alot of the cars i saw on the road were not.....

Snowing hard in Nanaimo with lots of wind. Power went on and off 5 times in a 10 minute period. It's now been down for over a hour. I have never seen it go on and off like that. Off fir 30 seconds then on for a minute then off again.

Fuck you and your stuck vehicles, especially your fuckers with unprepared rwd cars.
Shouldn't take me 1+ hr to get home when I literally work 2.7km from work. Actually I'm not even home yet. I'm literally trapped. Yeah I'm using my phone in traffic that is literally not even moving after 7 green/red light cycles. Fuck this.

I had to get out and direct a idiot to move around a stuck vehicle. She was too scared to go around holding up willingdon south for a good 30 mins.
Recently I replaced my 09 Corolla with a similar 2011, after a rear-ending write off accident (I was hit at a red light). I've got a fresh set of Michelin winter tires on it. Before this, I had never owned a vehicle with traction and vehicle stability control. I don't know what role they play compared to the tires, but this car drives completely different in these conditions. Its like night and day compared to the old car. From constant white knuckle driving on past their prime studded winters, to having fun and hunting for challenging roads with the new tires. I missed having fun driving in the snow.

VSC and traction control are hax. Once you know how they operate, it gets really fun to exploit them. Especially, in the snow.
do all newer cars have this VSC and traction control?
Mid 2000's, it seemed like an option. I think post-2010s, it became more standard. However, the economy lines usually got the earlier generation versions of those safety features.
This was my commute coming from the airport. It took me almost an hour just to reach the Arthur Laing bridge because of these cars stuck on the road. My 30 minute drive home took me over an hour and a half.
