A Reminder to Drive Carefully in Snow ;)

AK370Z · 01-30-2009, 03:37 AM

I got a kick out of this video since 2 days ago I had to drive my Z in deep snow

. It took me 1.5 hours at avg of 18 MPG where it usually take 20 minutes

. Not to mention I was more nervous of other drivers than me.

hey.....dont make fun of my streets.....lol

snow storm yesderday, decided to go early to the train station and still barely made it...... as i'm turning off my car, the train is already boarding...... so i ran through the snow (not to mention, parked at the very back) and ran by the inspectors.......
pretty jumped in last second.

on the way there, a car was in the middle of 2 lanes....... the left lane was clear but he had to use up both lanes going 10Km/h (that's what made me late) then i decided to gun it and drive on the snow bank..... you know how it is... if you drive a bit on the snow bank...it pulls you in... i had my tires pointing to the left and driving straight through the snow bank in the right lane...... things I do to get to school....lol

At least there were no accidents in that first vid! (I'm sure there were some that didn't get included though).

Its been really bad here. I'm currently driving an 05 Accord. I figured it would be fine, as long as I stick with plowed streets... nope. I have slid through numerous red lights. It doesn't help that my school is centered around one road that is a decently steep downhill grade.
I have gotten a kick out of FLOORING it whenever I see people around. They see me spinning around and stuff, and don't know that I'm doing it on purpose.
