I took my car out today, weather report said "10 percent chance of light rain". Car had some dirt, so I figured I would take a drive and if it rained it would give me a chance to wipe off the dirt behind the wheels that got caked on...
I walked out the door of my friends house and what do I see? Snow??? WTF!
These flakes were HUGE, I mean the size of silver dollars! I had to get my car home ASAP, before the snow gets too deep or the salt trucks start dispersing their corrosive cargo. So off I went, knowing full well that my summer tires I just installed (advan 08's) would not be snow friendly. I will just drive slowly and not accelerate in the turns! No big deal.
So I back out of the driveway, put the car in 1st and... well, you guessed it, that damn yellow light starts blinking! This trip was not easy, but without that damn traction control I don't think I could have made it home at all.
Car never saw snow before, and will never see snow again... but thought the pictures were kinda cool so I am sharing some Iphone pics.
I was AMAZED that in a straight line, at a constant speed that the tail end could start to slide out and control being an issue! I knew I had to take it easy, but at 25 miles an hour in a straight line?
Im glad I got to experience it though
