It snowed some last night....
Lucky they missed the pole.
Winter driving must not be one of strong suits..
;)
Sirscrapalot - Snowbank + Spin = lol.
You just can't make this stuff up !
It takes mad skilz to get that rear passenger wheel off the ground like that.
easy, 2 wd w / 6-700 lbs sand and drive slowly! :)
I load transformers in the back of mine in a box when its needed
I used to put a full 4'x8' sheet of 1/2" steel plate in the box of my 2wd pickup for the winter. Bolted it down, though. Didn't want it to slice thru the cab if I had an accident!!

I like to put about 800lbs of sand bags in the trunk of my front wheel drive car.
Works good! ;)
Man I hope that's a joke......Quote:

I wonder if it was the student or the teacher that put the car in the ditch.
Those that can't .... teach ? :cool:
Watch out, Scrappah!! I'm sure Patriot would have something to say to you about that last sentence!! ;>)
In the trunk of the front wheel drive car.....I get a laugh at those who don't understand the physics of where to put the weight... The other side of that is the people who put a couple of 15 lb sandbags over the rear axle in their pickup. Or still others who do the same with two--12" diameter rounds of firewood...again, probably totalling 15 lbs each... Gads, the HUGE increase in traction!!!
Jon.
Yes, that was my lame attempt at a joke hence the... ;)Quote:

Glad I bought a car with all wheel drive!
Don't know how much advertising is going to come out of this, most people just put out a sign.
Can't drive in snow? ;)Quote:

I can teach you how to move through the snow on a horse faster than 20 mph. I cannot do it any faster than that, so I could not teach you how. By the way, if I was limited to that speed because of snow, the truck would not get started.Quote:

I worked with someone who went one step further, it was cut to fit around the wheel wells and such. Said he could plow almost anything with it.Quote:

What driving school offers near-new cars? I took mine in a 20 year old Taurus with over 250k miles. And, a lot of dents. :lol:
matador: "Now selling CRT winter traction weights. They're great, safe for the environment, and take up very little space!"
Yeah that was my thought. Teacher can't drive in snow and put the car in a ditch ?Quote:

Besides .... it's wicked fun ! :)
