Montana Driving
I enjoyed the nice video Roddy put up for us.
Since I live in Montana and wanted to use my FRS all winter, I did the research and ordered Blizzak tires, which I see is what the red car in the video has.
I was instantly dismayed by how they ruined my sweet little fun car on dry pavement.
Then it snowed, and here in Kalispell the snow becomes ice and people drive stupid. Even AWD cars and SUVs with their All Season tires (which I know are junk) are sliding around and crashing into each other and overturning in the ditch. They catch on fire and explode just like on TV and there's big red spots in the snow where bodies landed. It's just awful.
Meanwhile my car is just like in that video. It gets around GREAT and is a blast to drive. I turn off all the traction control and drive it like a man. I am a stock car racer, you know...
Of course on hard pack snow and ice you can break it loose and drift. But in traffic, being careful and nice, it is on rails, I have to wait for cars to get out of my way and have no trouble stopping or changing lanes or anything.
Blizzak tires. They are supposedly the second best you can get, cost me $560 for 4. The best are Heppa-something and they cost a whole bunch more than that.
