I did not even make it out of the driveway with the Z this morning. Started sliding right away and gave up. Borrowed my roommates F-250. Luckily I did because on the way to work I saw a 350 in a ditch and a coworker said he saw one that hit a tree in Sykesville.

Yea I saw lots of shenanigans on the road this morning. Turned around and took my 4WD azz back home. Two hour drive to the metro was not gettin' it for me.

Yeah. No way I was going down to the district in the Z today. My winter tires are solid, but it was a mess out there. Slush and ice under the snow, and the county was slow in plowing. My friend with a 4wd vehicle said he nearly went off the road. Uhh...thanks, but no thanks.

Because it's the car, not the tires/driver.

No it's the car. My Z on super derps is just fine in the snow

I took my sister's Hyundai Tiburon to work today. Was gonna take my Z, but I had to drop my dad off in downtown Baltimore before work. I avoid taking the Z downtown as much as possible because of the crappy roads. Google Maps stupidly took me on some back roads to get to work in Owings Mills. Of course they were completely unplowed/untreated. Did eventually make it to work after 2 hours of being on the miserable roads.

Wasn't enough snow to need plowing anyway.

And, define "just fine" :-p

I can keep the car under control and not crash into anything

This reminds me of the S2000 I saw last year during the big snow storm, crawling at 5-10 mph down 97, constantly sliding at an angle because his rears never hooked up.

But he kept it under control and didnt crash :-p

Wait, you've seen my drive my Z in the snow before. Definitely not that bad.

(It's the tires. Get new tires and you'd be fine).

*EDIT* Get the PROPER tires for the season, and you'd be fine.
