  • ugh snow

    so I wake up this morning to look outside and what do I find? a few inches of snow. what a bummer. I do have a question though. Ever since I spun out last week, my dad keeps telling me that I should put sand bags or something in the back of my camaro to keep me from spinnin, like you would with a pickup. would this actually help? Im hoping to find a beater soon for the winter, but my money seems to be slipping away. so I need to find something to help the camaro for the time being.

        6" here on Monday. I woke up and was freaked out. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. I tried to make it to work but my car was sliding around, so I called in... Ironically, it all melted and today it's in the 60's. I'm wearing a t-shirt while washing the car. :tup:

                I recently found the Sears Low Profile 4 ton capacity floor jack and a full gas tank will add some serious weight for your rear end. I would estimate between 150-200 lbs combined weight for superb traction. My gas mileage suffered a bit but that's cheap insurance than getting into a bad accident and trashing your beloved F-Body. :)

                              I've drive the maro in snow. We never get much here, only a few inches total. It was pretty easy to lose traction, but as long as i was careful, it did just fine in the snow. I was able to do 3mph donuts in the col de sac.. hahaha
