Blizzard

[abutterman]

My jobs closing at 2 love working at Hofstra. I live pretty close to the shore... Hopefully wont result in too much flooding but i took that new car replaement plan just in case after my tc took on 3.5 feet of water in Sandy

Drove home on a 1/4" of ice, conti extreme winter contacts did very well. Only problem was getting up one steep hill from a stop, had to turn off traction control and get myself some momentum.

might have to get me a set of those...

using the stock tires is bad, took me 1 1/23 hours to get home, usually only takes 10 mins. Got stuck 4 times, times like this makes me miss my evo.

The Blizzak LM60's did suprisingly well. There were SUV's that couldn't get up my street and the BRZ took it without a hitch.

It was still squirrely starting up but that's in first. I could start in second and get by easier.

I'm done for the day though, the roads are treacherous - time to wait out the storm.

eh, I'll be driving my EK around. It survived that crazy blizzard from 2011 so it'll be fine here.

either that or I can somehow get my mom to let me use her impreza...

Your evo would suck too if it used the same tires you have on your FRS

1/23rd of an hour is almost not worth mentioning, it's like 2.5 minutes lol. sorry, had to.

but yea i remember that last storm after sandy. i still had my summers on. my normal 45min commute took me almost 2.5 hours. terrible. although i have winters now, just to be safe i took my mom's CX-5 so no issues.

My evo charged up the hills in my town with summer tires no problem.

was a mistype lol, think i might slap some chains on the frs since i think its to late for winter tires.

I had to restrain myself from looking up used evo's, almost did something stupid.

I had such a blast in BRZ driving around with my friend in Mustang! Only problem is getting started in deep snow! Otherwise - fun, fun fun!!!

i have to say i took a chance and drove my car from long island to the bronx last night around 12 am. streets werent plowed, highways were not plowed and my little frs breezed right thru everything. Racerom Traction control, stock tires. People were getting stuck going up hill(if anybody knows the big hill on community drive), stuck on the highway and im sure they were cursing me out when my little car was just passing them by like it was nothing. There were some moments where the car felt like it wanted to go sideways but with the racerom traction control it was so easy to correct myself that there were no real scary moments. With some really good all season tires this car should not really be an issue in the snow.
