Snow + 370 + Ventus V12

This is not recommended. We just got dumped on in NC and I had to drive to work and back in about 10" of snow (luckily most of the main roads were plowed). Still it was more ice skating than driving, with some snow plowing built in.

I had never had to drive in the snow (which is why I only have summer tires). Couldn't find a ride to/from work and went in to relieve the ER docs that had been there working 48 hours.

Don't do it.

F-it, I'll give you a pass because you're a doctor, and I like your pic

I'm on call 24/7. So I got 2 DD's. A '08 Power Wagon and a '13 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk. Some of the roads I have to travel on doesn't get plowed for days. If you got more then 2 vehicles. One of them should be a 4x4. Just for the reason you stated.

^ I have more than 2 vehicles

370z
240sx with track rubber on it (track car)
Morgan (no way it will handle snow)
Ninja 500r (I would kill myself)
Triumph Street Triple (I would kill myself even faster)

I feel like I planned that poorly haha

I may look into a civic or dream truck (FJ40)

No 4x4 though.

Morgan FTW!

nukee · 02-14-2014, 08:16 PM

I can attest to that. Had V12s on my G37, they were near worthless below 50 if the roads were wet at all. Can't imagine having to drive through snow in them.

Morgan pics please

Wonka2581 · 02-14-2014, 09:59 PM

My dads got a new FJ Trail teams and the snow was no match....lol

PharmDZ · 02-14-2014, 10:45 PM

Whew... I feel your pain. I work in the ER as well and thankfully I have an Elantra I threw snow tires on to take instead of the Z. We had 120 people in the ER at once earlier. Hectic day.

I ordered a new leather interior for the car in August, received most of it last week, the rest is in the mail (they made it to order at the factory in Malvern). Next step is redoing the whole interior. Then my brother who paints motorcycles is going to respray it.

^^^Ahhhhh, a nice one, not a POS cross eyed one, lol

Didn't hit me at first, RHD!

And I love that Morgan stocks EVERY part for EVERY model they make

Glad you made it ok. Thanks for the work you do. Im sure the staffers you relieved were pleased. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
