wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Roads seemed fine to me. I was drunk as shit last night and the wifey drove me home and put me in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was up at 5:30 this morning to drive to Ashland. A lot of streets were still bad, but main roads seemed pretty good around here. The closer to Ashland I got, the worse the roads where. They got a little snow and the same ice, the the roads didn't have the care need to clear them. I'm pleased with my suby for a daily diver now, even if it's low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar1647545494 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 That's around where I was at last night, but I headed back to Columbus around 9ish. Yea, my abs kicked on like 4 times, that's more in a night then I think i've ever used it. Not near as bad as last winter (that ice storm sucked balls), but these soft summer tires do NO good whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 columbus weather + 1 day = Boston weather... however, people here in Beantown know how to deal with their winter weather. two things help with this: volvos and subarus. they are in endless supply in the NE, anyone who;s lived here more than 2 weeks will tell you that. other than that, people here are smart enough that you drive slow not b/c you don't trust yourself in the weather, but b/c you don't trust the schmuck behind you heading towards a red light in the weather. i didn't see a single accident today...+1 for massholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Damn; I was at my g/f's house drinking all night that night, so no driving in the stuff. I'm sure the Moostang woulda done fine with it's bald rear tires, being Z-rated all aroudn n' stuff. Made it through last winter, probably will this one too.
