    Default WOW! The roads were intense!!!

    Holy hell, That was fun! I have never been able to break the tires loose in 5th gear before! I dont have much experience in the winter with my car, and have never driven one with an LSD before so it was just wild...

    People drive way too fast, saw 3 accidents occur on the way to work and they were all hit from behind due to not leaving enough space.

    In any case, I'm honestly not looking forward to the drive home today, 5 more cm's and I have summer rubber on my car. Bald at that. I will be putting winters on tonight, haha

    Hope no one smashed up thier rides...

    I got Nordiks not sure if that is a good brand or not.

    Anyhow, I have no reason for leaving the house today

    I need the camera mount... my drive to work today would've made Colin McRae proud.

    Drove to work on my Falken ZR's....took nearly 2 hours b/c of all the idiots on the road.....

    I've been putting it off, but I think it may finally be time to go back to my stock 17's with the Blizzaks....you know how long it took me to find a set of blizzaks in 245/45/17....

    i put on my winters in the morning. was a bitch waking up early to put them on

    however i did try and drive around my neighborhood in my zrated tires. they have no traction at all unless you give it only little gas.

    hope no one gets into serious accidents

    The road are horrible today.

    Twice on the way to school, my tail swung out but I did it on purpose of course. It was rather fun. But it's stupid, once the weather goes bad, people can't drive anymore. Some people are overly cautious and some think they are immortals (especially people in their big ass SUVs)

    If the city made it mandatory that all passenger cars are equipped with snow tires, I think people would drive better......SUVs help you get off the line easily with AWD but when you brake, it doesn't matter.....they have to realize that

    realized that with my stealth. The AWD gets you moving....but then when you go to stop you realize how heavy the car actually is... near SUV weight..

    i was driving down 14th street when I saw a green precidia start to slide, and end up smashing completly side ways into the curb...at first glance I thought he had chrome rims, I felt horrible for him, but a closer inspection revealed hub caps!!!

    I laughed and kept driving...(so did he)

    Indeed, it was a blast driving with blizzaks!!

    I am so happy that it snowed today, it was about time the tires are put to good use!

    Yeah but then the people you are trying to help in the first place will think "hey I got snow tires!" and go faster and less cautious and get into MORE accidents!

    I think we should just cover Calgary with a big dome.
