that was f*&^%ing scary. we were both going sideways on the ramp. then i jump out to get around hector and he grabs and shoots over and almost hits me. we missed by maybe a foot and thats only because i jumped over two more lanes

I worked in Naperville this summer and ebery other weekend when I would come home I would drive thru Chicago and get outta Ill. It usually took about a hour from the state line to Naperville but sometimes up to 3! Can't imagine how it would be snowin!

Oh well, you got to do what you got to do.

Are you riding the Advans on that evo? I have a set of Dunlop Graspic snow tires on and I'm pretty sure I can out accelerate and out handle damn near most cars I see on the road when snow is everywhere. As soon as the first cold rain came and I hydroplaned on the stockers I put the winter rims on. Nothing scarier than riding on tires hard as rocks in the cold.

4 hours commute u must be either crazy or be getting paid a hell of a lot. dam that would be like a tank a day or 2

I work on two campuses. I work directly with the VP of Marketing and the Two Reginal Managers. I get paid decent but the thing is I am meeting all the right people. Its the experience that counts for now . I hope the pay check increases with time. It take four hours on [censored] days. Like last week on wednesday of the big storm it took forever to get home. Usually it takes me 1 1/2 in the morning and 2hrs on the way home. I fill up about 3 times a week. Good thing I have a 4 cylinder.

You'll have to come to one of the AMS swap meets this spring, at the last one some guy was getting rid of 4 stock advans for $500. They had good tread to. Are you on the stock rims or did somebody keep them and sell the car with the winter rims on it?

Re: SNOW!!!! - 12/17/05 01:03 AM
Yup, damn near $1000 to replace them too. I'll probably get another summer out of them and replace them with a equally sporty but cheaper brand.
Re: SNOW!!!! - 12/17/05 06:49 AM
Why does this thread have no pics??? We need video of pic to prove that you can drive in the snow. I won't believe it sans pics.
