....take my summer tires off
s*** man, i just a wheel aligment, new struts and stuff. Car feels great. And we just got 20 cm of snow last night. But oh man, I forget how much of a death trap this car is with the dunlops on. I live on a slight hill now to. I almost never got home last night.
Was driving around in a friends civic with stock all seasons on with NO trouble. Then got in mine to take her home....and Oh MY f'n God how horrible can a car be in snow. I could start off but just barely, I couldn't turn once I was going, and any type of hill she couldn't go up. There was actaully one point where i was spinning trying to get up a hill, and I stopped.....and she actually started to slide backwards with the brakes on. And it wasn't even that slippery out. 20 cm of snow is nothing.
Oh well, guess I should get the steelies out...yuck!
But guys, don't screw around with this car in snow. If you don't get much snow...fine, don't worry. But, I;m not bragging here or anything, but I'd take a guess and say I could drive circles around most people in the snow as I have driven in REAL snow since I've been 17....28 now. I'm not taking about that slushy s*** you get in the states, I'm taking REAL snow....higher then your car snow. Heck I was driving before I was 17 really...but don't tell anyone. Anyhow, I love driving in snow...fun as hell to screw around in. I've had pretty much all preludes, and accord coupes over the years, and with thier stock tires on.....no problem in anything but really heavy snow, at least until the real snow comes in January. But this Car....is a death trap with the Dunlops, and it worries even me to drive it....and I'll drive in anything ( with any other car that is ).
