Just got home from being gone from 7 am. At lunch I spent an hour refining my skills as DK. I did so much, in fact, I thought I had lost a balance weight of a wheel. You see, after lunch I just parked the car and let it sit. Nothing odd there. However, while drifting , I had shoved so much snow into the wheels that it had become caked there. That's normal. What got me was when I got in the car 5 hours later and all that snow had milted a bit and compressed. Now I have a chunk of ice melted to the bottom of the inside of my wheels. When I was leaving in the car I couldn't believe how much the car was jumping around. Where I thought I had lost a balance weight, I had actually gained a huge chunk of ice. I had to pull over and chip the chunks out of the wheels. Funny now, but I was pretty worried. And the car was not fun to drive. Lesson learned.

 

BTW, Shanton, looks like I won't be stopping by your work tomorrow. Thanks though.

Been there done that with the old talon. Was headed down a country road and by 35mph I was like WTF????

After walking around the car again and again I eventually noticed the ice buildup on the inside of the wheels. Screwdriver and 10 mins later I was quite relieved.

ROFL OMG SNOOWWW!!

 

Driving back to Athens from Columbus I am passing people in 4wd vehicles in my fucking Mustang because snow is dangeruzzzz!! But, a dumbass in a Neon did try to pass me, on a bridge, while visibly icy, and ended up into the wall. I love people who can't drive....just don't come near me.

LOL

 

Last I checked you dont' have any LSD in the front nor rear..

No lockers.

 

So at best you can go from 1WD (RWD) to 2WD (4WD).

 

You are as ignorant as you are ugly. Which is pretty god-damned ignorant.

Asshole. :p

 

Yes I did. It was my fault. Only excuse I have is that Mustangs don't stop fast, and I could have avoided it but would have put us in more danger than it was worth. Passing on a visibly icy bridge is just ignorant.

Oh wow the snow brought in alot of winter racers. Hehe glad you guys are enjoying the snow, but don't talk to much crap about how good your pavement pounders go in it. Might have to back it and we don't want that. I race no one until we get 2 feet:-)
