Man up!!!!


I've been driving mine all winter, turn ESP off, raised mode on, and get a decent set of Blizzaks.






I am ready for warmer weather for other reasons, but I'll certainly miss the low IATs and "free" horsepower that is available this time of year.

MB Shrewsbury gave me a GLK250 to drive today..... it's adorable. I feel like such a pretty girl driving it around.


At least the timing was good. It's a lot less stressful driving someone else's car in a blizzard than my own.

Man, as usual we are the only ones driving ours in any weather. I have a problem though - my rear winters are going almost bald from heavy acceleration in dry conditions lol. ESP off for me only if I'm sideways on 95 going uphill lol. Keep it up

Yep.


The narrower tires and cold air makes me feel like I'm driving a 500WHP car...... it's going to be depressing when summertime comes and I can't just haze the tires from a roll any time I feel like it.

Where in MD are you?

I am currently in Southern MD on business, but I am likely checking out tonight and trucking up North to home. I live just southeast of Baltimore in the suburbs.

I am comtemplating driving back tonight before the second 'storm' hits later tonight, or wait until tomorrow until they clear the roads and it's warmer to melt everything away.

Yeah. I live in south east Texas, sooo......I drive my car daily!


Seriously, I was born in Boston and spent my first 25 years in Southeastern Ma/western MA. I always rocked my cars with a spare set of wheels with a grippy set of Michelin pilot alpines.

"Around here"? They're off everywhere. I think their predictions are based on throwing darts.
We all chose the wrong careers. Meteorology is where it's at.

12 inches...LOL....couldn't help it.

I know some will laugh at this, I have been stationed in maryland in snow and had record snowfall in Denver when i was stationed there. Both places I drove EVERYWHERE. We had the ice storm here in Pensacola a few weeks ago and it was by far the worse driving conditions I have ever seen. They didn;t do JACK to the roads...nothing. I rolled home in the E idling at 20mph and never hit the brakes on the iciest road I have ever driven on. there were cars all over the ditches. I wish I still had my monster truck and jeeps...I made a lot of money pulling people out of medians and ditches
