true-bluecb7 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 By the way, I... really... HATE THIS EFFING SNOW. Took me two hours to get home. Got stuck twice and I was less than a mile away. Left the car in a parking lot two houses down. Looks like it was abandoned... Also sacrificed my driver's side taillight just so I can get home. Neighbor with a Jeep pushed me.

Xeryon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Take note of that last pic: Each other vehicle is a 4x4. I don't understand why people bother driving small passenger cars in weather like that. That's what the $1500 jeep is for dude!. What was that broken piece in your passenger seat?

Ben. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I worked with a tree company yesterday..they have big E750's (2wd, dually rear standard front) ..it has been raining like no other here lately. And one of these, an International -- Which has a 4wheel drive setup mind you -- The hilarity of this is the 4wd International sunk THREE times yesterday, and the truck I was in..a Ford E750 which is almost identical, only 2wd with some grippier tires had to pull his crap out several times. Funny how stuff like that works. Featherweight FWD Civic's putting along while big 4wd vehicles just slip, slide and sink in places you'd think they'd crawl over. LOL.

Ben. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Downside to those big bastards is they're six speed.. They have practically no first gear as it's so short but if you go to shift while you're sliding or sinking you're shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 What makes a cherokee so nice. Light enough you don't sink everywhere, full time 4x4 with auto lockers. some nice m/s lugs on it and I go anywhere i want in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've taken my F150 through some mud before.. I'm by no means calling it a mud truck, but the BFG's I have on the rims (which are in fact 20"s, factory Harley F150 rims) are TREAAAAADYYYYYYYY. And wider than they should be.. As long as I keep the pedal town and the tires barely spinning very seldom do I chance getting stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why people bother driving small passenger cars in weather like that. +1 me and chris are trying to pick up a cheap f-150 or something.. if we get any nasty weather around here (normally sleet/ice storms before snow) i dont like driving our cars.. too low and chances of getting hit are too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 the cherokee looks like a battleaxe. rust holes. one door doesn't open, rear hatch trim fell off, when torching a broken lug I caught the wheel itself on fire - now the wheel is all blackened, fuel door doesn't close, and it is missing 75% of it's paint - just bare primer, raspy hole in the exhaust, power steering leak, real axle leak, blown shocks..... What a wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 And the rickety bastard still starts up and drives.. Gotta credit at the VERY least JEEP for building a halfway reliable car, not so much the turd it had ziptied to it by the name of CHRYSLER..

DelSolSweetie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 my ex bought a jeep cherokee for like $200.. we painted it bright industrial orange.. took it to what is called 'mudders day' around here (huge mud pits and what not).. beat the crap out of it all day.. still ran afterwards lol there is a really nice white f150 in the police impound lot.. trying to find out how much they want for it.. hopefully be able to pick up a nice truck for not much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife wants to drive it to NC this summer. Told her we have to fix the axle seal, otherwise it's ready to roll. 1500 miles here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true-bluecb7 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 If you note in the first pic, the car hiding behind mine is a typical small car (Hyundai Elantra) Second pic, I guess that's a 4x4 also, because Monte Carlos are one. My car has never failed me whatsoever, except yesterday getting stuck two-three times. I'm not gonna bother buying a 4x4 just to use in the winter. (and that broken piece is one of my door moldings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 biggest problem of people gettin stuck is either stopping completely or going somewhere they shouldnt be. i just keep the speed halfway decent like ben and cruise right through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true-bluecb7 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 I hate when they slow down for nothing or stop when their brake lights don't even work. Pics I took today. All the snow we got left today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 maybe you shouldn't be taking pictures while you're driving in bad weather, just an idea i gave up driving home last night, made it to my brother's house, parked the car and had my boyfriend pick me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 georgia has no snow.. snowed last year about 3 inches.. none yet this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 tires mean so much. having light weight isn't always a good thing in snow and ice. my 4000lb truck just slid on top of everything, my friends 3/4 ton suburban went through everything because it would sink into solid stuff that the tires could bite into. skinny tires are also better in snow. it also helps to not have your car so low.....
