Absolutley nothing on the ground out in Pitt Meadows. I had no idea it even snowed that bad overnight until I clicked on the morning news. Man, what a shit-show out in Vancouver last night!

Looks like the closer to the water/ocean you were, the more snow you got.

Just got a call from my g/f who's in Nanaimo right now, says there's easily a foot of snow on the ground, and it's still snowing.... so it could be worse guys!

gramser57 12-14-2008 09:42 AM

jigga250 12-14-2008 09:46 AM

They cleared the roads pretty well in the New West/Burnaby area. Very driveable even with all seasons.

anyway they shut down the bridge both ways... my cars parked fuckin on the side of the arthur lang comming up on the van side.. can i get towed? u know how long i can park it there for u think without it getting towed? when will the bridge open up again u guys think...

towers have more important situations to handle than just a parked car with no damage.

Just watched global news. What an ugly fucktard in the P-car. I bet he still had his summer tires on that piece of shit. Marco, is that you?

hmm... maybe black ice?
or the driver was being stupid and trying to tokyo drift at an intersection.

orange7 12-14-2008 11:25 AM

hmm.. what kind of tires does the TL come stock with?

low profile?
all season?

CanadaGoose 12-14-2008 11:31 AM

wow.....that tl got fucked

common sense > him

IMASA 12-14-2008 11:35 AM

The car probably hit a curb. The other pic that Bonka posted shows an accord parked near by that has front end damage. If there car's still there, someone go there and take pics, ha ha.

My dad's car has Toyo Proxie4's which are perf. all seasons and he says he's fine cuz he "knows how to drive". I told him to eat shit and drive my CRV w/ winters to work instead. RWD & 255 wide perf. all seasons tires will pwn you in the snow.

Actually I was driving aorund in my RT Wagon with the same Toyo Proxie 4, and I ws suprized at how good they actually were. They really arnt a snow tire, but for an all season, with how good they grip in the summer and the rain traction, I was really suprised at how good they were in the light snow.

Then around midnight I put my Winter Studded tires on. Oh yes, I had a great time last night. Bombed around the neighborhood to see how they were. Ive never driven on a studded winter tires before, or had an AWD drive car in the winter. Not to mention I have been livinng in Cali for the last three years and havent seen snow since I moved. Freaking AWSOME. I missed it!

T-boned a Chrysler last night... how sad. u_u"

Word, about 10-12 cm's in Victoria right now.

Shoveled half of our driveway, to get the VW the right way around, for an easy escape on monday morning (FWD FTW!). The Z, however, is sleeping this one through.

(I'll grab a picture of my Z, and the neighbour's Z asleep in our driveways soon).
