bobdea Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 people in ME enjoy winter driving and take the most pride in it. there was a guy that used to drive the ultimate white trash ride, a iroc z and he'd put chains on it when it snowed who worked at sunday river. If only the guy had a mullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Ahh, I enjoy playing around in the parking lot in copper with my truck to practice my 180 shift drifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I love sliding corners. So much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I never knew what skitchin' was till I moved here. Think wakeboarding, but behind a car, with your snowboard and a rope, on a snowy road with banks. Good times. Better with a little Dr. McGillicuddy's.

paragonUE Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 yeah, here in the foothills, we love our winter driving. My CR-V has more dents in it from pulling stupid tricks in the snow than anything, cant kill the damn thing:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I like driving my RWD 300C in the winter, but I prefer driving it on dry roads better. For as much fun as it is to go down my street sideways using countersteer and throttle control, it's way more fun to pull g's on pavement. I do enjoy driving in my snowboard and tele boots though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 In montana we have just shortened it to S**T we don't have shoulders on the roads so we had to shorten it up to save time:lol: IT is also acceptable to throw your beer at the passenger:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ardski Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 My favorite slide ride was a '78 gremlin w/304 V8. I love to over power a short turn radius. It was an automatic so I could keep hold of my beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 its actually against the law in montana to pick up a road kill:freak3: :freak3: some genius actually thought that a large number of people were out purposely destroying their cars in order to fill the freezer. seems a waste. now they just lay there till they rot. they used to get picked up and used or donated to a food pantry at least. We the taxpayers now have to pay some poor bastard to go out once a month and pick up the rotting offal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 its also against the law to put a wounded one out of its misery. I don't know anyone who obeys that one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope-states collect it and sell it to animal feed manufacturers-it's the protein supplementation! It was just made illegal(as in 2006) to do that for cattle and sheep feed, BTW...can you say "Mad Cow Disease?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 CWD? is that where mad cow comes from? probably the same damn thing though I don't know enough about prion diseases to speak with authority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrobb Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ha! I was that statistic last Sat coming through Idaho from Montana. Hit a slippery patch at the same time a gust about 40mph hit my truck. Rear end swing around and we slid off into the ditch about 8 miles from where we were gonna get gas (Idaho Falls). Went in (the ditch) clean but being 2wd had no way to get out. Truck and everyone was fine but my dogs in the back were like WTF? I hadn't seen them that confused since the day we started packing just prior to stuffing their beds in the back of my truck. Stupid thing wa s8others were in the same ditch within 1mile on either side of us and the tow truck drivers were like "Yup, it's windy and slick." Meanwhile the plows are cruising around full of sand and not dropping a grain . Worst roads I'd seen were in Idaho. Nv, CA (Sierras), UT, and MT were perfect (well UT and MT) CA and NV had some ice but the plows were dropin sand. OH BTW, I said "F***"....not Sh8t J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
