Default a win in the SNOW

hooray for snow tires ! (Blizzak LM-22s). redlight to redlight on Ashland, west loop area of Chicago, i actually hit 30mph, and then stopped, without going into the intersection. Can't believe a truck was trying to cut me off on the right.. pyeah dude, i don't think so!

just think what i coulda done w/ some REAL aggressive snow tires (nokia hakk2s, etc.) later tonite, i think i'll do some vtec donuts in jewel/osco parking lot.

for shitz n giggles:

I use to live outside of chicago in woodridge kind of west side. The Jewel Osco was our favorite place to shop. Compared to here in ohio it was cheap and it had namebrand foods and such.

Sorry, gotta call on your

SUV drivers around Chicago forget how to drive when it snows. It was probably on some dry-rotted crap tires or 20" spinners anyway. Nice kill Tony

uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...



A guy from CALIFORNIA... is going to call on a story of which he's never had any personal experience with... Hell- when it RAINS in Cali- the highways are shut down for hours... and yet somehow you have the credibility to doubt his story!


Anyways Kaayvan... when was the last time you used snow tires? Snow tires make a HUGE difference. I only put them on my S once- but it meant the difference between not even being able to get out of my driveway in 2 inches of snow- and managing a road with 6-8" with little problems... Even my S4 was a piece of shit in the snow without blizzaks... put them on- and it becomes a drift bashing tank.

Hey now~I was just going to chime in on your side because I beat the same fellow that evening on my CBR1000RR, but it was close. He must've had a 2 shot of NOS.

...Was that the worse attempt at e-humor I've ever read, or is this the next best thing since Dice Clay?
