my mom took my sister to work in the trailblazer, 5 minutes after they leave my phone rings and its...... "mike, how do you turn on 4 wheel drive?" ugh they didnt even make it a block, so i walked over and they had the snow higher than the front bumper....... i knocked the snow off the bumper, turned stabilitrack off and tore right through with no issue...... btw... its got full time awd, no turning it on....... lol |
hahaha sweeeeet.
with 2wd/front wheel drive cars, if you hang the drive wheels you are screwed. thats what i was seeing and thats what aggravates me |

I didn't get stuck in my Saturn, and that thing has passenger tires advertised for only "light snow." Even when plowed in by the trucks, it made it through without fuss. I guess Long Island got no where near as much as NJ
|
I just pulled out the Tbird with no issues, I was surprised, traction control FTW.
Then again it does have a anemic 3.8 in it :rofl: |
My Denali rocked in the snow upstate here, I had Blizzak snow tires and i pulled out dozen of vehicles which were stuck all around base. In 4lo, the thing was unstoppable. Between the size of the truck and the grip, i could crawl through some pretty big drifts with ease. Now with my jeep, i dont try anything crazy, i just do what i need to in order to get where i must. If i dont need to go out, i dont. But i do miss the Denali.
Right after christmas... I found out my SKY doesnt like 18" snowdrifts... never again |
My jimmy is pretty nasty in the snow. The Mickey Thompson Baja Radial tires are awesome. I get on it a little going around a corner and the front wheels just pull the truck straight...barely gets sideways. Awesome tires in the snow

i got a 4x4 89 silverado. i dont even both shoveling/snow-blower-ing around it. 31x10.5 regular tires on it and i never have any problems. ever. im one of those 4x4 that passes people when they insist on doing 10 mph when the speed limit is 45. i really feel if people are that scared to drive out in the weather they need to stay the **** at home and not be out at all. not to mention all these people out in little cars or 2wd trucks/cars who think if they go 75mph they wont get stuck in the snow.
|
I love my truck in the snow, i know its not invincible, but with 4x4, 3.73s and a limited slip it has not come close to getting stuck in snow yet
|
I stayed home with my 4x4. No sense in risking bouncing off a guard rail or have rig run me off the road because they feel that they need to go 60 MPH in 12" of snow. :-x
|
my tempo is a beast in the snow for some reason, i went out sledding last night and came back around 10 with no problems
|
I love how people have the "my **** is bigger then your **** because I get around without 4WD" attitude. Whoopidy doo!
I have many hours behind the wheel of F-Bodies and my 2WD Pickup in the snow. Only got stuck once (in the truck somehow, go figure). Does that mean F-Bodies handle snow just as well as a hummer? I got a 4WD vehicle for beating around in the woods, I'm going to use it if I please in the snow. Why? Because I can. God Bless America D**NIT! :lol: |
exactly tim. i remember cruising past stuck 4x4's in my old 86 in the snow. peg legged 305. man that car handled the snow like a beast.
on a side note...everyone i know or speak to with a saturn had no problem in the snow :nod: |
4wd dually FTW
I guess I'm 1 of those stupid people that think they can go anywhere w/4wd!!! |

I'm not saying I'm invincible, but it helps. |
There is a mark where i watched a Hummer H2 slam into a snow bank, was very entertaining. Guy got out yelling and screaming, and i just laughed ....then felt bad and helped.
|
It's not about going. It's about stopping! Or lack thereof. Too many people feel since they can go they can stop.
|
Very true,
I downshift to engine brake and hit the brakes lightly early. |
Now, in my truck 4wd seems to help me stop in the crappy stuff, probably for that very same reason. But that is regular stopping, not uh-oh stopping form 50 mph

Ford Tough Plows!

I dug out my car tonight, my dad shoveled the entire driveway and half the front lawn but "forgot" to dig the 5 foot pile of snow in front of my car...:rofl:

My Durango Handles Pretty well in the snow. I parked my Durango in my dead end which doesn't get plowed and everybody told me i would need to shovel it out dismorning. Put it in 4 low and plowed through 3 1/2 feet with no problem. :)
