to all my homies who DD their S...... how many times did you get stuck today?

hahahaha 3 for me. i managed to get out of the snowbank that drifted around my car but the sloped parking lot sucked my ass end down as i tried to go straight. then i got stuck at a dip right before a set of RR tracks. whew, i would have panicked if it stopped ON the tracks.
then finally, as usual, right at the corner turning down my street.

i was really contemplating driving straight to tire rack for a set of winter tires(im on stock SO2's with about 3-5 32nds tread left on em) but i been known to be stuborn and also cause i dont wanna buy tires towards the END of winter. this will probably be the last heavy snowfall for the season. wooot. i made it thru winter on a set of 6 year old tires.

I got stuck 3 times too. but it was intentional, and I knew I could get out.

I have snow tires. they are sweet. I have never had so much fun in any car ever.

the only thing i did to prepare for this winter in my S was buying one of those WWII era foldable shovels for my trunk. that suka came in handy.

where'd you hear that this will be the last heavy snowfall of the winter?? . . . I heard that for some areas in the midwest, winter is just startin to crank up, and that we should expect more storms

jeggy

i didnt, i just made an assumption outta my own butt that this would be it.

you're seriously on stock S02s right now? how the hell have you been driving around? i've got wintersport M3s on...they are definitely a lot of fun.

Is it really fun? I have Kumhos on my car and they are downright dangerous.
In about two inches of snow with variations in depth are you safely able to go around 40 without losing control of the rear and spinning out? Is there a big difference? What tires are you using? Do you know how they work? Please help.... That car scares me to drive in the winter... Can the lack of weight in the rear really stop me from driving in 2-4 inches of snow/slush? Are they really that grippy? Thank You for all of your help!

i get stuck on the driveway, it goes up a hill and around a corner that slants away. during slippery conditions, i tend to go up sideways, but i've lost the backend off the edge of the driveway 3 times, PITA to get it back up. the S has been out of commish since monday night due to too much snow

Not in a S but a IS350. I let my wife took the 4runner and I took her IS. The car still has stock performance tire. What an adventure!!

Got stuck a little bit twice, but was able to wiggle myself out.

You're on stock S02's???? You're nuts man!!! I'd just stay home and call in a "snow day".

I was doing just great yesterday in the one-ton Lexus on all-seasons. Going northbound on Randall with NO traffic I decided to turn off the VSC....that was fun! I think I've mastered the low speed pendulum swing with that car.

I think next Winter, I'm going to screw having to get/swap winter tires, I may just pick up a beater Subaru Imprezza/WRX wagon. I see they can be had on the cheap.
