now i understand it may be bumpy.... but it was so bad that i couldnt control the car over 15-20kms/hr
is it the ice on the road or what?
or is it just my car.... it sounded like it was falling apart lol

It's crazy in the school areas. Soccer moms flooring it in their minivans and SUV's, creating huge holes in the ice.
Felt like offroading driving by the school near my house!

Yeah the roads are crazy by the safeway near my house. The civic in front of me was just bobbing all over the place. Bunch of holes everywhere from spinning tires.

Man, I had the *pleasure* of experiencing the bumping on the drive to the Uni today, it SUCKED! Especially on the smaller roads with less traffic, those are teH sUcK.
And this is with stock suspension, now I'm glad I didn't lower it... Even with the stock height, the front and the undercarriage acted as a snowplow... I can imagine what it must be for people with lowered cars...

The ruts in the road were bad around my area also. Nothing better than a good teeth chattering on your way to work in the morning.
hehe bumps are CRAZY everywhere!! I switched the setting on my KYB AGX to SOFTEST and the bumps are not so bad after :)
can't do anything about my header scraping though...:thumbsdow

I live in Deer Run, it took me 1/2 an hour to get to Bow Bottom.. Once I hit Deerfoot it was fine, no one took Deerfoot, everyone took Blackfoot.
But yeah the roads were bumpy as hell, and it was the ice.. It was pretty scary, you'd be driving straight, all of a sudden my whole car would shift to the left or the right, like i was teleporting :D I went 30 on Bow Bottom and about 60 on Deerfoot.
As I was driving home tonight, some fucking idiot in a Park Avenue decides to drive like it was winter.. I turn onto the road (Where Silent Rage's Shell is) from Bow Bottom, all of a sudden this Park Avenue fucking flies out, he musta floored it out of the gas station and stops in the middle of the road when he saw me coming.. fucking idiots.. hope darwinism will run its course on him.

My 944 is a whore in this weather... I was doing 30 when a rut grabbed me and directed me onto the median where I proceeded to get stuck

Damn I been driving up and down the strathcona hill etc 4 times today in the Jetta - it's been great. This car loves the snow. Graders left a mess in front of the driveway - 5 mins of crushing the big blocks, and then a good sprint and ram up and into the garage.
And no speedtraps to worry about! :angel:

I was on Bow Bottom for 45 minutes because of traffic. There were 5 cars stuck on the ice including me. Had to get someone to push my car. Bow Bottom is brutal!
