We see it every year - people in ditches or just doing dumb things on the road in the snow.

We haven’t had a snow event yet in the North East but it’s coming… I’m sure we’ll see our fair share.

This is from courgarspeed’s old hood in Seattle this week. Watch for the city bus, lol:

I love at 4:45 you see the Saab with a snowboarding roof rack and most likely snow tires, just going down like, “fucking noobs”

I love being from Buffalo because I know I can destroy people in snow, with or without dedicated snow tires.

I’m scared by all the people that have bought AWD or 4WD and think they can stop really good. “No, I don’t have snow tires. I have a Subaru.”

AWD/4WD + snow tires = total domination.

AWD/4WD + all-seasons = pretty decent.

AWD/4WD + summer tires = “what? do you autoX?”

FWD = gay, no matter what.

RWD + anything = HUGE smile on your face.

RWD with bad tires is no fucking fun either. You just get stuck or it takes forever to get going and you can’t power out of stuff.

Impatient Suburban tried to pass us last night on the shoulder. It was on bald tires. It sunk to its frame. Dumbass.

We bailed to give him a scare like nobody was gunna help him, but then returned to yank him out. Here’s a vid of the first unsuccessfull attempt. If newman wasn’t there with his shovel, there was no way it was getting out, that STi is pulling on an extremely packed down, icy surface. I’m sure Ian’s got better pics.

I would have lowered my window and laughed at him. The meanest thing I ever did was stop, get out of my car, and laught at some dumb bitch in a ditch. I then got back in my car and drove off.
