    Northeast "blizzard"

    Anyone else stuck at college, with their snow tires still at home?

    Before anyone yells at me, I made multiple attempts to get snow tires on my car by now, but the person I bought them from made them most inconviently unavailable to me when I was home ( :x Brew! you bastard!). So, shit out of luck, I had to deal with driving back to mid-upstate NY with my 225/45 Yoko AVS's still on.
    Ultra-high performance tires + neg. camber from lowered suspension + snow + a shitty town, that for some reason is against plowing their roads = fucking scary driving.

    I really hope no one else is stuck in a similar condition, especially with the "blizzard" in the northeast and new accident stories popping up. I never had to drive with more than 2.5-3" of snow on the ground, but it was a challenge none-the-less.

    Trying to just get my car out of its parking spot was a 45-minute job (finding traction was like trying to find a virgin in an abortion clinic - it was just impossible). And another 30 minutes, lots of adrenaline, and a few shot nerves later, I had driven my car about 1.5 miles back to campus.

    I just want to wish everyone luck in their travels, and drive safely.

    PS: will Pete and Greg and all the other NE guys smack Brew for me when you all go to F1 this weekend, thanks :evil:

    e9nine: "Happy sliding and watch out for mean people, if u don't have snows; don't drive at all" ... but shit happens and sometimes you HAVE to drive when don't want to.

        That does sound like one of the freakest rides ever.
        And our grandparents said that they had to walk a mile in the snow, try driving in the snow with out snow tires ;)

          Shit man, I'm really sorry about that. The road were pretty horrible around here this weekend too, so I did a little slipping and sliding myself.

          Whoa.... that's a little on the politically incorrect side of things....

          ....but still funny as hell.

              I live in Buffalo and dorm at UB. I still don't have my snows on lol. I was gonna have them mounted on my steelies, then i found a car that was gonna get tossed. it had bottlecaps on it. so I was gonna set it up so I could put some shitty tires on my steelies, put it on the junker, then take the bottlecaps off that and put my snows on the bottlecaps

              buuuut it turns out a few of the bottlecaps are bent, so now I'm just gonna go get my snows mounted on my ugly, rusty steelies
