Man, now I know what everyone means about the OEM’s in winter… I had to move a fridge out of my garage today, so I figure I would pull the Z out of the way to make sure that no damage is done to her during the move. I pull her out and all is fine, until I tried to reverse back in… Suffice it to say, it took me well over 30 min just to move her back in to the garage. I had to shovel all of the snow and ice out of the way before she could get enough traction to move. I will never do that again, lol. Tyra does not like the snow… End of Rant.😛 Church ---

haha, i did the exact same thing one winter. moved the car from one side of the double garage to the other. luckily it didn’t take me 30 minutes to do it. snow and crappy potenza’s don’t mix. ---

yeah, it’s not a pretty sight. it happened to me about 2 winters ago in light flurry conditions. i was on the top of the hill on john street and bayview ave. going west on john in stop and go traffic. i let off the brakes for a moment and reapplied only to have the backend kick out and then i went SLIDING DOWN THE HILL :S braking like mad with ABS/TCS kicking in with no help i pulled the hand brake and whipped the car 180 into oncoming traffic. missed the curb on the opposite side by probably 10 cm’s and continued up the hill 🙂 but yeah, scariest shit i’ve ever been in cuz i would have cried from messing up the rays 😛 ---
