all those stupid idiots out on the roads running all seasons and some i'm sure summers


saw a flipped SUV on the #1 blocking traffic for a few kms


STAY OFF THE ROADS if you 1) don't have snow tires on 2) don't have a fucken clue how to drive

on my other forum a guy posted up that a ML350 with an N (umm wonder who was driving that) took out 4 cars....dip shit

Just got home 30 min ago. Drove from Steveston to Fleetwood. It was a mess on Hwy 99 and 56 Ave. 152 St was pretty good, but damn the highway scared the shit out of me. Wind was blowing hard, visibility was low and I could barely see the white lines on the road. Just glad to be home.

I'm surprised there are no plows out yet ... I see an ambulance with lights flashing parked at oak and 49th ... and I saw plenty of people sliding on 41st

noooooooo i don't want to bus to work! so much for cheap weekend downtown parking

orange7 12-13-2008 11:45 PM

I think it was me who caused this weather..

I was watching movies that i got off the internet while jerking off last night...

Maybe that is the cause of all this snow.

sky_dragon 12-14-2008 12:08 AM

Had to ditch my car and walk from 41st and Granville to 33rd and Knight...

Gachinto 12-14-2008 12:12 AM

:lol @ Super Slipper :lol

I will take some more picture tomorrow.

It's POURING on WW right now, will be pretty crazy by morning!

I have snow tires in front, but GUESS WHAT, my down pipe is leaking!
Now my Camry is louder than Diggy's Type-S! WTF!
I can't fix it until Monday morning when shops are open too.
I'm supposed to be busy looking at new condos for rent, now I don't know if I want to go out tomorrow with my Camry's loud ROAR!

:(

Edit: It started to leak awhile ago I just forgot to fix it...

JV6 12-14-2008 12:17 AM

So fun to drive in the snow with the new suv! hope it snows more :D

Drive safe everybody

LoWeR-CaSe-VoWeLS 12-14-2008 12:17 AM

it's fucked outside right now... saw a matrix drift into a curb when trying to break... and im sliding all around in my madza 3... also ABS is broked on my car right now lol, i slid a couple times had to rapid brake pump like a mofo

wouwou 12-14-2008 12:22 AM

^the ABS will be fine in a few hours, I had that happened to my M3 as well, might just be overheated or something.

I am staying in, screw rain/snow + freezing tempreture

Liquid_o2 12-14-2008 12:27 AM

I'm hoping that by Monday the road crews will have taken care of all the major roads. I remember last year in Surrey, half the roads were never cleared, it was ridiculous!

m4k4v4li 12-14-2008 12:28 AM

had to ditch my ride

my dad fuckin went ape shit on me telling me how its gonna get towed, what a fucking idiot, its on the arthur lang and he thinks he can reverse it down the bridge from vancouver into a nicely parked spot on the side of the road with summer low pros

Rich Sandor 12-14-2008 12:32 AM

I just swapped my snowies on and went out for some mcdonalds. I was zipping around in full control, with gobs and gobs of traction in places where everyone else couldn't even move.

Snow tires for the muthafuckin WIN!!!

alananana 12-14-2008 12:36 AM

for me summer tire (rt615 azenis r-compond) = 3 season tire
winter tire = oem wheels+oem tires

works very well for me because I know how to drive

something tells me you were running on your summer tires when you tried to "drift" your 350Z.

just a warning to those w/ snow tires. even though you have snow tires, you still gotta be careful! :)
