magley64 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 All I have to say is you live south of canton you don't know crap about snow. I trust magley(who lives in astratucky) LAKE EFFECT is all I have to say. Until you have been in the snow belt you have NO idea what real snow is. I have to drive into this crap to go to work. Nothing like getting a foot of snow when you are in work.LOL, Lake effect snow, yeah...i remember one night a few years ago, i went to sleep with a "dusting" of snow on the ground (you could still see grass). when I woke up 6 hours later, there was 4 feet, no joke, you could barely make out the cars in the driveway... nobody went to work or school that day, we spent all day shoveling...what a waste of a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSXRBirch Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i'll stick with my wrangler, i live out where they dont touch the roads with a plow much. i like my 4x4 and will get another when this one dies. plus i love playing in the mud. i had to pull a f150 v8 ext cab lifted 4x4 with 35" in tires out last year with my little 4cyl wrangler it was great i made sure i took pics of that.

Reaper Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i would like to have a wrangler 4x4 but i have my truck so it will have to do for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRBirch Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i love the wrangler but i want to get a 4x4 truck because of my 4wheeler. it sucks having to borrow a trailer and im too poor to buy my own. i want a f150 ext 4x4 but i was looking into a explorer sport trac.

Reaper Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i have a 2008 crewcab long bed tacoma trd sport 4x2 and its great i just wish i had gotten the 4x4 for the added comfort but the 4x2 works just fine for what it's worth just need better tires and a minimal 1.5 leveling kit for the front and a few sand bags to get some weight over the rear axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 My Forester is great in the snow on all seasons. Now my favorite is when I threw some blizzaks on my 1986 BMW 535i, that things was a blast. There was no corner I didn't go around sideways. That and it just didn't get stuck on anything. Which one would go faster on a track? Probably the forester, there's a reason WRC went from RWD (ages ago) to 4wd, you can throw a car farther into the corner (more speed) and dig out with the throttle.We'll just have to have an OR meeting at the SCCA Snow-X next year to settle this.

Reaper Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 i think my truck with some better tires and weight in the bed will do great in the snow or my old s-10 or my baby brothers 250 would also be fun in the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 or my old s-10 or my baby brothers 250 would also be fun in the snow Lol. Those two trucks are the opposite extremes of the worst possible cars in the snow. The 250, mud running, monster trucking, etc would be ok. The Xtreme S10. . . well they're honestly not good for anything.Once you've driven something with a low center of gravity (also closer to 50/50 weight distribution) and smart AWD you won't go back.

Reaper Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 i have driven a few subie love the wrx /sti and also the evo's,audi s4 the s10 was just my bagged fully shaved sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 My cousin has one, we pick on him for ripping the bumper off more than once . . . buuut when someone needs a street/dirt bike taken somewhere guess who we called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 yea i loved my s10 i ripped my roll pan off draggin on 95 in fort lauderdale twice as for the 250 that truck is just way to big being that it has a 14" lift 40/15.5/20 tries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
