Default got caught in snow/icestorm with bald SO2s

in the afternoon we got tons of freezing rain/snow in annarbor. was supposed to go home early but i was help up at work. when i came out w/ my car the car danced all over the place, it was truly scary.

somehow i managed to get the car back in the garage and had my gf pick me up in the bimmer. btw the 540 has new kumho asx tires, truly amazing in snow/freezing rain.

Even with full tread they're pretty useless on snow/ice...

I managed to drive back my '04 about 100 miles in a huge snow storm (on stock wheels)... pretty scary stuff!

got stuck driving from bloomington to carpentersville yesterday, about 130 miles in that storm. 55mph sideways is a scary thing. i've never been in a storm where the car would simply not go forward anymore. too me 8 hours to get home, and when i got there, the car wouldnt even go up the driveway. my MY04's done for this winter!
