where the fuck is the snow at god damn it

just ordered some winters the mich xice2 $695 including install/taxes @costco

richmond is flooded.

i drove from steveston to knight street bridge via hwy 99 going at @60 because any faster and i could feel the car hydro planning!! so much rain its crazy!

whistler apparently. was listening to someone over the radio saying to bring tire chains if you don't have good snow tires and plan to make a trip out there.

Sooner or later I'm gonna buy a truck and install a boat motor on the back. The floods are getting out of hand. :lol

I'd take rain over snow anyday dood

Yup... I drove through it making a left from Marine onto Cambie heading North at about 5:45pm

Alot of people slowed down.

There was a lightning at about 5:15pm and then came the massive down pour.

Holly shit... did that happen on Friday?

I think that will kill my fog lights...

meh i have to rant.

same day, i was heading westbound on marine to get to the airport around 6pm... on the westbound lane on marine in front of the kia dealership the water was so deep i was creating a bow wake in front of me :o ... things were made worse by a hydrolocked dodge caravan on the shoulder lane caused traffic to bottleneck, which was sort of a good thing because it started off looking like a deceptive shallow puddle and before you know it it was getting really deep. if you were going at least 50kmh i'm sure you would have done a lot of damage (ie. the caravan). traffic was making slow progress until this asshat in a green 4dr civic went full tilt through the lake because he wanted to get around the caravan in the shoulder lane and beat us off the traffic light at the last intersection... well, by the time i had finally reached cambie, the civic was dead at the stoplight in the center lane, causing more gridlock. asshole :flamemad:

Blizzak is a general brand.. there are tons of sub models eg DM, LM, MZ, WS.. They are not all the same. I would say ones like MZ would perform poorly compared with the silica based newer model tires like the Altimax.

All winter tires perform roughly the same at their stated speed range... the difference is when there is water mixed in, and when people wants to be jackasses.. the more expensive and recent version the tires, the larger of those envelopes are and in the end saving more people.

Having snow tires, still don't mean you can drive like it is a nice summer day when there is 5" of snow on the road.

Looks like we could be getting snow at the end of this week. Who knows...

thinking of changing the colour to neon yellow or lime green =D

Yeah true. It didn't snow until Dec 14 last year so who knows when it's going to happen heh. It may not even snow and stick.

got rice?

looked at the cable chains that lordco is selling.

the box says "do not exceed 30 mph"

would driving over that make the cables snap?

I was planning to do Orange or lime green but trying to get those colours were hard and when i did ask for one they were gonna charge 40 bucks for like 50 feet or something. lol

yup

at best the fall off on the outside

at worst, they fall off inside and get tangled up around your axles

boo. maybe i can find some on ebay. haha

i saw a white mazda 3 that did this as well.
i might just spray paint the steelies PINK!

what's wrong with having a little fun in the winter? :mad:

^ i have a white mazda3 and i did that.. lol
