I HATE people that cant drive in snow!!!
Well, coming home from work at 10:15 (best buy techs 0wn j00)... on upper mountian ave. It's snowing, there's a little on the roads, nice and horrid to drive in.... sliding around but keeping it under control.
i come around the turn right past mountianside park heading south, and there are headlights in my lane!!! some ******* out of control. I immediatly drop the shifter back to 2nd to help slow me down, and ease onto the brakes and try to get into the other lane in time, i make it, but the car's front tires didnt wanna hold on, and the back end was all over the place... so i hit a curb with the drivers side front tire at about 5-10mph
backed the car down, drove away... car still goes down the road straight, still perfectly aligned.
well, i'm off to STS tomorrow for a new tire and i'm gonna have to dig out that spare rally i have in the garage for now.
******* people, learn how to drive your piece of **** front wheel drive cars in the snow.... IT"S NOT THAT HARD!... try driving my car.

Usually after 2 or 3 times in a block or so he gets the hint and backs off or changes lanes.

i always read about people storing the rx7s away for the winter..
hows this work in snowy countries??
everyone puts their RWD cars away and pulls out their slow ones???

I know I can't drive to well in the snow even in my AWD suby. And I'm sure alot of other dick can't drive worth a damn on a dry sunny day much less with snow on the road. So I just stay my happy *** off the road if I can. The problem is always the other person, like was said befor, people don't think ahead of time, so when something happens they panic.
What I do to **** off tail gaters? I stop in the middle of the road if I don't see anyone behind them. Or I'll flash my brake lights at 'em and they get the point after a while.

yea, I don't see the big deal with winter driving, it takes more concentration and a little thinking ahead like getting momentum for hills all that ****, but its not really too bad, even with RWD, I haven't gottn stuck (for long)

Another way to really annoy tailgaters is to drive really slowly.... Of course, who wants to do that?
haha... I have rear red fog lights on my Audi, they come in real handy for that. Just hit a switch and all of a sudden they backed off. Works like a charm.

I almost got hit by some *** who didnt think to slow down a bit earlier for a red light. I was going through the intersection as i had green and looked over and saw him comming and I had to swerve into the on comming lane (luckly it was empty), to not get hit as he slid....
And about thinking ahead I have to think about every turn in take in my audi in winter. As it's not quattro and is quite *** happy. It will slide at 5mph I have gotten quite good at "powersliding" it....

You don't need power if you have SNOW! 85hp was more than plentiful for my Suby.
And then there was my first car... a lumpy-cammed 429 in a 5000lb Ford luxocoupe. Picture said vehicle at 70mph on roads covered with wedding-cake fresh snow, steering mostly with the rear wheels... Also picture said vehicle requiring 2 blocks to get up to 35mph because traction was simply nonexistent...
Oddly enough, I've put more miles on my first RX-7 than my Subaru and Ford combined, yet I rarely drove the RX-7 nearly as slideways as I did either one of those cars. Hmm.

What year was your Sube'? My friend has an '86 GL Wagon, 5 speed, that thing is soo much fun in the winter... and it's only worth like $200, so it's not a big deal if you put the rusting-completely-out, ~75HP (blown valves like mad), bend fendered beast in the ditch a couple times.... it's already been done!
His parents owned it since new, put 330,000km on it, gave it to their son, he's driven the **** out of it for the last 30,000km, and it's still going... sorta strong... haha
biggest part replaced - fuel pump... haha
