The benz would be fine with good tires on it. When it started getting squirrley it was VERY easy to correct without overcorrecting. Camaro is not even gettign unlocked... hyundai's being driven to work. Unless my dad's not back in time, then i'll see hwo the bald tires fare...

Well, the SS wasn't as bad as I thought it would be in the sleet. We have no snow yet, nothing but sleet piling up(2-3" so far). I just got home from work and it wasn't that bad except for the paranoid people doing 9 mph! My driveway was a bit of a challenge but a couple of tries and I made it up. Mmmm, 80 degrees Wed and 28 and sleet Fri. Global confusion! :mrgreen:

drag radials + snow = my normal 10 min ride home from work to 45 mins.

proceeded by an old lady in a Oldsmobile laughing at me because i tried three times to pull out of my work up a hill and kept sliding back down. (i had to wait for a plow)

This weather sucks. Right now it's ice/sleet by me. I can hear it hitting the windows. And driving back from work was a bitch on the Thruway. Used my mom's Concorde, which actually isn't bad in the snow. But, it took my almost 2 hours to get back.

JL8Jeff
03-16-2007, 08:55 PM
We've been getting sleet for almost 14 hours straight now. :shock: It was sleet when I left for work before 8 this morning and it's still sleeting. I'm just glad it wasn't freezing rain. Sleet is actually not that bad to shovel otherwise we'd probably have a foot of snow.

Friggin rediculous. And a plow truck... I'm talking about one of the huge ones 1.5 times the size of a garbage truck, almost rear ended me by burger king in bergenfield. and then my dad's car got stuck in our driveway... overheated the trans for a sec rocking it back and forth... had to shovel the damn thing out. After it cooled down tho the CEL went away and the trans calmed down lol.

Just got done shoveling and chipping ice for the past 3.5 hours. The SS hood had about 6" of sleet packed on it and I couldn't even find the opening so I didn't want to start the car. I kept going because I wanted the sun to help melt and dry the driveway before it refreezes tonight. Got the ice and sleet cleared off the car and put it back in the garage.

03-17-2007, 01:39 PM
Jeff, if you had said "I couldn't find the hole" that post woulda been a lto better.



So yea the MB reeeeeally needs tires. I spent around a half hour digging i out of the 20 ft it had to go to get out of the driveway... couldnt make it on ANYTHING

I shoveled the bottom of the drive way out, and my moms side, and pulled a muscle, my mom helped a bit. then we went across the street and helped out some old ladys, they gave us 30, my mom gave it to me, i gave her the 5 in singles, so she could give me for lunch this week.

Next weekend looks good, but towards the end of the month is another cold shot they're saying so watch out!

This nonsense has me flat-out pissed. I had it all worked out: My non-running T/A is sitting at my uncle's house in Piscataway because I haven't had the chance to trailer it up to my new home yet. Had a buddy with a truck and trailer all set to bring my toy home tomorrow, and now thanks to all this snow, it ain't happening. Dammit! :evil:
