She looks good with a little bit of weather. It may be a wussy storm, but I'm glad it's not as cold here as it is there...Quote:

I used to love those red vs blue shorts. Dunno if that was what you were referencing or not though, lol.
Great picture either way!

Thanks bud. Yep. I always liked them too. Kind of a play on the whole "good vs evil" (really more mischievous than evil) thing too. Maybe I just need to get out more. :roflQuote:

My dad said I wouldn't be able to make it up his driveway so I had to try. I made it about 99% up before it shoved me to where the car is in the pic. This is the peak of his driveway and it's probably 3/4 of a mile long to this point. The rest of the driveway is around the top and goes back down a bit on the other side of the mountain.
This is the furthest I got so far being stuck wise. I usually make it to where you can see in the background before losing my momentum and traction.
Towhooks FTW! Even though my dads chevy duramax 4x4 was having a hard time. I had to aid quite a bit on my end in the car for it to get out, otherwise it wasn't going anywhere.
! no winter tires?
No, Winter tires indeed. Just a bit worn. But that's only a little bit of the hill. It's much more behind the picture.
I made it further than a few 4x4 trucks/SUVs made it too.
All these snow pictures are making me cold... No good...
Dane, great pic! That shot really shows the baller status of the silver cube!
Snow is awesome! :) I've been having a blast driving my sister's A4 in frigid conditions with ice and snow on the ground 80% of the time. Winter tires make a big difference! My car is at home alone just staying warm in the garage. It hasn't got any snow action yet. But my winter tires on on their 3rd season...so it's not the best for deep snow anymore.
Thanks Joop.Quote:

The picture doesn't show the severity of it. This is a mountain that i went up, not a little hill. That part of the driveway is at least a half mile uphill. Like I said before, many 4x4s didn't make it up this.Quote:

I ran three stop signs and coasted into the nearest gas station. And that's where the car stayed til the ice melted.Quote:

Aggressive winter tires that can handle heavy sloppy snow and ice would make a RWD BMW shine better than most FWD and trucks if the snow isn't as high as the undercarriage. Being a photographer it's very hard to take pictures of the severity of hills without proper angles which are usually very time consuming to get into place to take the pics. Our cars can handle decently steep inclines when straight. Through in a corner and it makes it that much harder. When going straight 100% of your traction goes into moving forward which is what we need in a RWD. When we corner we might use 20% into cornering which leaves 80% for forward movement which may or may not allow you to continue forward! The next thing is.....DRIVE BACKWARDS! :) I've done that many times in certain super steep areas!! LOL The car goes right up and thanks to 50/50 weight distribution I can still turn the car while the drive wheels pull the car up! hahah. Finally I can go places where those crazy Corolla's can go. Those crazy Japanese cars are indestructible in winter driving scenarios! When you think everyone is stuck, a 1982 Accord plows right on through with all seasons!
My Pirelli Sottozero tires got me through ice and packed snow without incident today. That's right, RWD baby.
I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the hell people with AWD cars were crawling. Absolutely unnecessary in those areas. Had to get around them, they were that friggin' slow.
Nobody at work believes me when I say you really don't need AWD, you just need good snow tires and some skill.
They've been conditioned to believe the marketing hype. It's okay, let them walk into BMW dealerships and buy xdrive cars for no reason; it just means bmw has money to make cool cars.Quote:

Driving my sister's A4 quattro in the ice and snow gives me a heck of a lot better maneuverability than my car does. I never have to worry about sidestepping the rear out dramatically and her car I can hold a sideways angle so easily while it accelerates out of the line like a bat out of cold h#ll!! Hahah.
But since this is a daily ZHP pic thread...I'd posting my nightly one. Dane I hope you're happy with this composition. LOL.
