so i know it didn’t snow bad yet, but the other day, on the way to work, the roads were a little icey in the morning. i was going the speed limit, and this suv flies past me like i was parked. why is it that everytime it snows, awd/4wd vehicles fly through the snow/ice like they are totally immune to spinning out/losing control? ---

A driver that is well prepared and aware of the enviroment around them is the best driver for winter conditions. Two years ago when we had some bad snow, snow tires would get me anywhere. Just because you have 4wd/AWD, shouldn’t make you feel invinceble. Be prepared and you’ll be fine, and only worry about yourself.\ ---

Because most of the people who buy these big ass SUV’s are moron fucking yuppies who have no clue. I love watching them blow past me on Rt8 when i am driving my Jeep, becasue i know i will see them at the next red light, usually facing in the wrong direction or off the road in a ditch, with a huge brown stain on their pants.
