I was watching TV while on the tradmill and the news was doing the "damage report," showing all the stuck cars etc.
They flash through video, showing random cars for about a second each...hey, was that a 240sx?
A minute later, two cops are pushing the back of a black S14 SE in ~1inch of snow &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
It was a kid driving, maybe 17. Man, he was all over that road, fishtailing, spinning, then getting stuck. They talked with him for a second, but I couldn't hear. It appeared to be a 5 speed too.
So, fess up, who was it &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

[sorry, dont wanna be a post whore]

I saw a 180 drift in a straight line today, nearly ltook out the ZX3 in front of him...

I think I am hanging the 240s key's up for the winter. &nbsp;It way too much of a risk out there being that this is my first rwd car, and my tire tread is a joke. &nbsp;I dont have the money to bang out.

snow and cars = stuck...stuck= me pushing ALLLLLL fucking day

Sounds like someone left their summer tires on too long.

damn.... just get some GOOD snow tires!! &nbsp;I've been plowing through snow deep enough to be leaving an indentation of what my undercar cowling looks like.... &nbsp;i'll load a pic up later of what i did today just to see if it was possible <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;basically I was able to get my car to go up what I could barely walk down (actually fell on my ass.... sneakers instead of boots. i should dress more like my car maybe <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> )

that said, i've got a black S14, but no, I haven't gotten stuck. &nbsp;been tempted to ask other people that looked stuck if they need some help <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;maybe a tow or something &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

What snow tires do you have, and where do you live, snow is the main reason I won't be getting a 240sx until 2003, that and I am going on vacation on the 16th. Yay I won't see any snow for 3Weeks, and I will be nice and warm, hopefully see skylines and stuff over there, but I don't think they sell em there/

But anyway what snow tires do you have and how much did they cost.

wish i could upload the pic of my friend's driveway... it's insanely steep and pretty narrow. &nbsp;looking at the pic i took of my car sitting on top with 2 fresh tracks going up makes me wonder exactly how sane I am these days...
