Fluffy Snow - Snow Plows = hit curb 2X

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

..seeing as this is the first actual snowfall here in kenosha, wi most of the roads are untouched and that spells disaster!

i was driving with my buddy and the first turn i make the tires loose grip and the car (i was driving my mom's sentra good thing it wasn't the civic) went forward right into a curb instead of around it! ;( and no i wasn't driving all super fast or snapping the steering wheel hard at all, in fact i was going less than 25 mph...maybe its the sentra's 175 size tires and the snow is really fluffy and once compressed it becomes ice....:no: this also happened again near my friends house...:o although my buddy in the 240sx was just drivin' sideways the whole time.. :D

just thought i'd warn you guys...

hmmm, well i guess you need skinnier tires for the winter.

You got off light. I was driving my p.o.s Slownoma back to school from home (it's finals week) with 180lbs of sand in the back plus about what I estimate to be around 40-50lbs of snow and it STILL won't hook. In a slow bend on the highway (2 lanes...woohoo!) I started to slide out and almost crossed into oncoming traffic. Hell...even the Mustang was better in snow with ultra performance tires than this piece of shit with all weather tires. F@ck GM.

yeah he did! up until he hit a tree on his way home...the ironic part is that he wasn't drivin' crazy when he hit the tree...it wasn't major but he might just get a s15 conversion.

it wasn't my fault, the tree jumped out in front of me. I didn't hit it, it hit me.

It takes me on average probably three tries to get up my driveway. I really don't like snow. That is about the extent of my hardships in the snow through. I tend to drive like a 90 year old when the ground is any bit slippery.
