You've got to be kidding.

Be careful out there.

SlipAngle79 = loco.

I tried to get the Integra out this morning. I managed to get it to the end of the driveway... and then it got stuck.

I drive it every day, every where I go. The S (with winter tires installed) was doing much better than every other car and SUV I saw out there. The slush and snow were never deep enough to make the ride height an issue and a light car is much easier to change direction and stop in traction limited situations (snow, ice, race track, whatever) than those other sorry excuses for vehicles.

You should have said something ... if I'd known, you could've come & helped me after you were done

I spent less than an hour clearing the snow this morning to get the car out, then almost couldn't get the car back in - spent well over an hour this afternoon clearing 2 tyre tracks in the ice for traction next time

With all the snow & ice pushed into ridges around here we were struggling with ride height in the VeeDub ... I have no idea how you'd keep the front spoiler intact if you're driving a S

Hope it's all gone in time for the Xmas party

how much snow and ice did y'all get out there?? there was probably about 1-2 inches total in downtown where i live... nothing too bad. could have snowed a foot and it wouldn't have mattered anyway - there's something to be said about heated indoor garage parking.

I drove mine Thursday as well. I'll tell you, those Hankooks are NOT made for ice. I brought it home and turned the heat up in the garage, it's nice and warm now. So I'm driving a truck from work til it clears up since my daily driver is still down.

there WAS about 8" snow/ice on our drive. My arms felt like rubber after clearing that
