Driving backwards helps if you have weight on the rear axle, used to drop my roof down on the slk as the weight of the roof ends up on the rear axle. Also, a full tank of gas makes quite a difference in driving in the snow compared to a half tank.

I did it on a driveway up in the SFU apartments during a blizzard and there was a 90 degree turn on the driveway LOL. You just can't break momentum on a rear wheel drive going up the hill in the snow.

That's why I drive a big ass 4x4 now... I just have to worry on stopping :troll:

Drive a PHEV with a fat battery in the trunk, lots of traction off the line.

So the Indy500 is on you instead?

trollface 02-06-2025 01:09 PM

No i jumped out just in time.

Anyone need a 110k engine from an FRS? No dmg and a pretty fresh set of Indy500.

DM me

Not sure if trolling or serious :pokerface:

trollface 02-08-2025 01:15 PM

I've been bussing to work all week.

68style 02-08-2025 01:16 PM

You bussing to where you're bussing and bussing to afford bussing

Badhobz 02-08-2025 01:44 PM

He has other cars okay. He’s a liar and a scoundrel. His driveway is so fucking full of jalopies it’s almost as much of a joke as mine

trollface 02-08-2025 03:46 PM

My other car was made 20 years before I was born.

danned 02-08-2025 09:35 PM

can't even finish seeing the car set

North American All Weather Tyre comparison! Spoiler: The CrossClimate2 wins.

Edit: They test the tires against the Nokian R5 and the R5 beats them in the snow by about 10% - I'm not sure how many people would need the extra 10% of winter performance that an R5 has for our conditions. It's like needed a Pilot Sport Cup 2 for your DD.
