    Yikes, that first guy looked like he was trying to hit people...I guess it was just on a hill or something.

    Hahahaha! That's exactly what i was thinking when people were talking to me earlier. My first thought was, "hmmm wonder where the closest big empty parking lot is?" :naughty:
     
  8. I have summer tires....ya I would have a death wish driving out on those.

    awd is useless on ice like that. that is of course unless you have chains

    You do understand the difference between snow and ice, right?

    Fun times are to be had in the snow, believe me, I know. I had my first WRX when I still lived in PA, and got to drive around like a Rally Driver one winter, which was completely awesome. With that said, AWD does absolutely nothing for Ice. Be careful out there. Like I said last year, everybody thinks they are invincible because they have AWD.

    1) Most of us have Summer Tires, not meant for Snow, and definitely not meant for ice, or we have All Seasons, OK in snow, but not great, and again, not meant for ice.
    2) AWD does nothing to help with braking
    3) Unless you have studded tires, your car is only slightly better than any 2 wheel drive when the roads are icy

    Haha not for me. I think it would take a nuclear fallout before Georgia Tech closed down for the day.

    Haha yeah jason I know the difference...and if there is any ice I'm not gonna be able to leave my apartment complex anyway cause I live right on the lake...at the bottom of a huge hill.

    No ice just inside ITP/85, so far. But the temp has been dropping since getting up this morning. They upped the "Winter Advisory" blah blah blah until 2pm. Joyful. STi is safely tucked into a parking spot at work. :D

    well...looks like this storm "should" bring some ice this time. BE CAREFUL WRX-ATL!..and tell your family/friends to slow it down, and watch that ice. i have to drive to Montgomery, AL tomorrow so I know I'll slow it down some.
