Ya I hate it when it's 81 outside little humiditiy on November 19th with a slight breeze. little overcast but otherwise perfect racing weather.

Gorry to hear about the cold front guys.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Cold front nothin! It's 38 degrees outside. This here's a WARM front!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

81 degrees? what?

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I've been visiting Florida since December 2004.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Im from florida, oh how I took the weather for granted down there!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

12.) The lovely roads in MN during the winter and the way they beat the shit out of my suspension.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Winter car broke about a half hour after I started driving it. But it was just a battery problem. It's fixed. But, it now belongs to Stephan. So my car is dirty as shit because I'm going to be driving it. It's ok. I have a free car wash!

Had a little E-brake fun one night, and almost crashed my car. That was no good. Tried getting on an exit ramp but it just kept going straight. Basically I have to many issues driving in winter.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

E-brakes are over rated! Get AWD.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Yea, 'performance tires' with a 2" drop that turns your car into a shovel don't work so well in winter. Stupid Honda...

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

HELL YEAH, I'm gonna have so much fun this winter. :D :rolleyes:

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Most of my yard snow is gone....now if it can just stay away forever ;)

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I just bought another new sled a few weeks ago so bring on the snow.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I've been hoping for that since November started! We've had about an inch. It's all melted away by now. There's no snow in the forcast for about a week, so we're stuck with fake snow at the hills :(. Oh well...fake snow is better than no snow :D.
Still waiting for the snow...............just finished waxing my board. It's almost perfect. Still cant test it out yet....

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

My feet are cold!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

13)Shop truck perfers sideways to going straight on most snowy roads. But thats fun :).
Diesel torque > most other vehicles to drive on the snow.
Much more fun and safer than awd "cookies".

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I wish the e-brake would still work on AWD the same as FWD.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

what AWD needs an Ebrake, just mash the gas pedal, it goes sideways.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

just don't hit a curb after you've stripped your apiller to bare metal, cause when you hit your head on that bolt up there, it slices your head open, not that I would know.....

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

I want snow so I can buy a board and go accross the street and practice falling on my ass.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Snow? What Snow? Oh wait I;m in Texas, with a chilly low of 51 degrees today. I'm from Colorado originally, but I'm getting used to this weather. Now if the ppl here only had car insurance....like 60% don't.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Woohoo, if all the weather people are right (doubtful) we could get 6-12inches tonight!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Not tonight... Spread through the next 2-3 days.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

No school for all the boys and girls up in D-town today!

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

All the fools that can't get up the hill on the bald tires piss me off...........
At least be prepared.

All the idiots that go 5 mph on the highway, they piss me off........

The guys with snow covered all over their vehicles on the highway, piss me off....
5mph ain't going to blow away the snow..............

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Damn, it took me an extra five minutes to get to work today. That 5 mile commute is a bitch. (That extra five minutes includes the time it took to scrape off my truck.) :p

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

It actually wasnt too bad this morning going from Bloomington to Minneapolis, took an extra 10 minutes.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

haha, I backed out of the driveway, spedo stayed the same, car stopped, I decided I wasnt going to school today...

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Ran out of fuel in the driveway! That was awesome. No clue how John drove the truck home last night. Put 3 gallons in it, away we went. (to fill it at the gas station).

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Plow guy plowed everything into my car so my car was surrounded by snow up to where the door meets the window so tht was cool. Bad on my part for sleeping till 1 on a night when we were to get a lot of snow but it's my only day off. AWd got me out in 3 minutes though that was cool.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

FWD sucks major ass. Drove my sisters FWD car today and got stuck right as I got to the end of the driveway. I didn't take my GSX cause the tranny is acting up.. big mistake. Once you drive and AWD car, you just can't drive FWD esp in the snow.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Ahhhh love the snow. Nash and I have our snowmobiles all loaded up and ready to go tomorrow. Starting off in Hinkley and riding 75 miles to Duluth on the State Trail to visit my parents and then riding back. With some side trails along the way I am sure.

Snow is all what you make of it, you just have the wrong hobbies if you don't like it. Get a fast snowmobile. They are almost better than a fast car, kind of like riding a crotch rocket on snow.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

The key to FWD is carrying enough speed to get out of every situation without getting stuck.

Oh, and not hitting anything while you do that. Easier for me since I drive at 4am. Its pretty nice actually. It also helps to drive a car that you dont care about, so you can set fire to it when it flips over in a swamp.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

It only took an hour to get from Mankato to Minnetonka this morning. The roads were kind rough but there was hardly any traffic. The way home was another story. There was a mile stretch of 169 south where there were 6 4x4 pickups spun out in the ditch. We had no problems in the Bonneville though. I think the biggest delay was food and beer at Shakopee Applebees.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Our drive in this morning wasn't too bad. I think it took an extra 20 min or so. The ride home was actually better than most days. I was very surprised.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

will someone ship me some snow
it sucks when it does get cold down here and we don;t get any

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

My drive to work was just fine, that was probably only because it was 4AM. One good thing about snow, overtime at work for plowing, bad thing 12+ hour shifts.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

The temperature currently in Connecticut is 13 degrees.

I hate my life.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Last night the FedEx guy stopped by the house at about 9:30... at night.

Must have been a rough day for him.

Re: Official winter sucks thread...
 

Im sure he was getting some nice OT.
