Maro Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 That big winter storm that came through Ohio just before Christmas really screwed up the roads, as you all know. Well, it took me ~10 hours to get from Columbus to Indianapolis (normally a 3 hour trip) and parts of I-70 were closed. This is a photo of I-70 just north of Dayton to show you how bad it was (and this photo doesn't really convey the condition of the roads)... looked like a 3rd world country... cars abandoned all over the place, poor road conditions, no lights, etc. Oh... and that is three lanes wide in this photo! http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/misc/I-70.jpg I was really pleased with how the Subaru did. I couldn't believe what this car would drive through without getting stuck! graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm so pleased my 4WD Jimmy decided to grenade its motor right before the snow hit. This WOULD have been my first winter ever with 4WD.....looks like another RWD winter for me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate my car has been down since November, and I was really looking forward to this winter with the awd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I was loving 4WD in that stuff. I definitely went places no 2 wheel drive could go. http://www.theprolificmind.com/snow2.jpg http://www.theprolificmind.com/snow3.jpg graemlins/thumb.gif *I wish all this rain was snow.

golf2001gti Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I had so much fun in mine, this is the first year I have had mine. Today in lancaster it is flooding real bad and my work parking lot is a lake. To get to my parking spot I had to go threw it and just gave it hell and it was fun.

drblake Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 It was a lot of fun driving around Dayton that night pulling cars out left and right. That doesn't make me miss my car any less in the summer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
