Quick Weather Question

Zaku · 06-29-2009, 05:29 PM

I'm sorry about being a noob, and I really am. But what is this about a tube of sand and snow tires? What's the sand for I'm confused. Sorry.

He just means weight over the rear tires.

With my Mustang I used to put four 50 lb bags of rocks in the trunk to help with traction on snow.

lol... I've had Mustangs too but never hated them enough to put rocks in the trunk. But I did haul a few bags of fill dirt from Home Despot one time. No dirt or rocks will ever go in the Z.

LOL, just leave them in their bags and put some tarp down or something. No biggie.

You can also carry bags or sand, not only for the weight but if you do get stuck you can pour out the sand to increase traction.

I've driven in the rain about 20 times so far and had the ***-end slide out on me once --for a millisecond-- before VDC corrected me in a straight line

Don't worry about the snow as long as ur vehicle is equipped with snow tires. If u don't have a 2nd vehicle I suggest u purchase some

I can't believe that people are actually saying you cant use this car in the rain. Thats hilarious to me!!!!! It boggles my mind. OMG. Does that mean that every 2WD pickup truck with a light *** end and big engine needs to be parked in the rain too?

Lol Thanks for answering my question. Now it makes sense. haha. I guess you just need good all season tires or a second set of snow tires. I don't drive that much either like I had my Civic for like 2 years now I only put 5000 miles on it. so Im pretty sure the Z wont get much either.
