Yup main roads were clear no issues here!

I took it out yesterday night around 5:00PM while the most roads were unplowed down to North Brunswick from Wayne area. Took me about an hour and half for what would have taken about 40 minutes on an average. New Brunswick sucked. No roads were plowed and I tried to keep the momentum of my brz to not get stuck over a pile of snow but eventually got stuck. Huge front splitter didn't help and I was sitting on top of the hardened snow LOL -_-

Took about and hour and a lot of FML moments and cursing to get my car out.. solution was to rev the f*** out of my car. My Blizzak WS70 probably helped a lot. 3rd year with my blizzak ws70s and this will probably be my last year. (I drive about 15k-17k miles a year. Work is really close but I take out my car a lot)

What a hell of a night it was.. and the moment you pass Audi Q5s going at around 40mph at 50-60mph with your winter tires. LOL

I gotta say I couldn't keep 50-60mph all the time, but I could maintain 40mph and above constantly. That's how confident I get with winter tires until one day I become too ignorant and decide to attack those guardrails

got to take my brz out briefly before work to try out my new general altimax snows and boy they were great I wish I had more time to play but I couldn't had to drive the wifeys forester to work instead cause of ground clearance issues due to 3 and a half foot snow drifts in the complex that I work in plus I never would have been able to plow through the 4 ft tall snow back on the off ramp I had to get off of haha

Gear_One_Performance · 01-28-2016, 05:12 PM

We took a few of our personal cars out for some fun but not the BRZ's. As it turns out Hoosiers aren't great in the snow.

yeah I totally drove around.... there's an FR-S in there somewhere.
