First site of snow

[Zexel]

today in 3rd hour at school, the site of snow appeared outside the window.  kinda sucks, I hate the cold weather.  I'll live because I can't stop it.  its' been snowing since, and that was about 3 hours ago, so maybe it'll snow a lot overnight!!  no school, PLEASE!  but yeah, fixing to go play some snow football.  I just want to sleep in, and stay warm inside!  who else has seen snow?  I remind you that I'm in Oklahoma, so it doesn't hit us til about htis time of year!

go have fun in your RWD thats what im doing when it snows

Snowed here on Saturday night, the only night in the last two months I had to close at work. It also was the first time I lost control of my ass unintentionally, #### thing slid out 90 degrees. Glad I learned effective countersteering :-) This was all travelling down a rather long hill at 20MPH.

But yeah, RWD in the snow isn't fun, unless you want to bust up your car.

to clarify:
RWD is fun when you want it to be

i loose control in turns and rain sometimes its NOT fun

I've never lost control when I didn't want to before, just a matter of driving smoothly <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Sharp turns or accells will overcome the standing friction moreso than steady pressure. For me, that time just happened to be on hardpacked snow/ice <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Straight line, the road curve changed and my rear end went with it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I'm glad I have a FWD car for this winter (Sentra, don't have 240 just yet)...but it's my first winter, so the FWD will be the easiest on me. &nbsp;I have enough confidence in my driving, that I can go through it without getting into a wreck, but that's not to say that I won't definately. &nbsp;my friend has more confidence in ME than herself, she wanted me to drive her home from school today, been driving for like a week more than me, and she wanted me to drive. &nbsp;so that makes me feel a little better about my driving!! hha, but man I hate snow!

I've got a perfect winter car. Thin (new) tires, long wheelbase, low horsepower, FWD/4WD, Wagon (room for all my boarding gear!) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OMG, I was scared shitless driving in the snow and ice this week. &nbsp;I had new tires pu ton the front in April, but my rear tires barely have any tread. &nbsp;The snow came as such a shock, I didn't have the time to switch the front &amp; rear tires, and my appointment to get new tires on my car was this next week. &nbsp;I could barely accelerate, I couldn't turn, I couldn't shift without losing traction. &nbsp;I was so scared, my left leg was trembling just trying to hold the clutch pedal in. &nbsp;We (me and my car) made it through it though. &nbsp;No bumps or curb-checks. &nbsp;Only a tad bit of hail damage from the previous week's nice hail storm. &nbsp;WELCOME TO OKLAHOMA--WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUKK THE WEATHER'S GONNA DO!!!!

Glad you made it through your first winter driving Zexel &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp; At least you didn't have to drive last year w/ the 3 weeks straight of ice on the roads--luckily I had a 1992 Olds 88 w/ brand new tires on it to drive.

[Zexel]

yeah. &nbsp;well its' not that bad in a fwd car, still sucks. &nbsp;I can't even imagine how bad it is for you guys in your rwd! &nbsp;but it's all good, cause when it's not snowing, you have your fun!!

[transient]

they're fun when it is snowing too. I just wouldn't want to have to drive one all the time in the snow.

[KoukiS14]

Well, ain't that about a bitch. Second nightime drive home in the snow this year. Good thing I got out early, if I was three hours later, datt'd be bad news.
