New England B.S. Thread

I saw a BMW doing the same thing on Congress St at the intersection of State St. The rear tires were just packed with snow and he was spinning away

 

I would have passed her first chance I got. All I would need is for her to spin out and come back down the hill at me. I also hate the stopping on the crest bullshit.

I feel bad for everyone in that line that got stuck.

I really would have passed her. I can't drive 15-20mph

 

I did consider it

 

I was fishtailing all over the place with the work van, got to the office and ready to head to the job site, turned around went home and got the tacoma, because duratracs!

 

Duratracs ftw!

Mine are in the garage... MPG ftw!

 

People who don't like to drive in this stuff should stay home. I spent most of the way driving behind some moron in a Silverado gabbing on the cell phone, stopping to let everyone turn out in front of him. He knew damn well I was behind him since I beeped every time. I'm all for being nice but don't stop in the middle of the road especially when someone is behind you. Grr

 

Yeah I was stuck behind a mini van doing 15mph. We live in New England, if you haven't learned to drive in snow, stay home! I love the people who try to take their rwd sports car out in the snow and hold everyone up because they have no traction.

 

After the first beep he prob did it on purpose

 

Wouldn't be your fault she lost control. Happened to my friend in his OBS F350 Crew cab long bed dually (land yacht) small accord spun out just like you said he hit her at 40 slamming her into the guard rail. He just needed a grille. But it was not his fault

 

ALL of the ABOVE is why we "PARK" during snow events....try driving 36 ton around these "People".....Some got pissy yesterday during the snow "whiteouts" when I passed them on 93 ,interstates are not 15 mph zones and when I am trying to put 350-400 miles in a 10 hour day..DO NOT impede my progre$$.......

Everyone be safe...the most trouble I will see today is a computer nazi or 2

 

Like I say, get out of the nice maniac's way and everyone can be happy..

Highlight was when some meathead got stuck in his lowrider today..using the "rev it up and it will go" method. Some guy on the other side of the road parked IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD to help him. Anyone else see a problem?

 

Sooooooo glad I'm not working today. My road rage would have been in full effect after reading all these stories.

 

Sounds like MA is getting it a lot worse than RI. I only had a dusting this am, didnt even have to use a brush to clean off my truck. No issues on the road either.

 

Looks like a couple inches accumulated here in Woonsocket.

 

Building satoshi in the summer when it's warm and i wont stink up the house too bad.

 

Just moved a few mustangs at work. 3" and it was pure hell. With Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G2 extreme performance summer tires on the GT500's you have to have two people per side and two in the back pushing or it will just want to go sideways.

 

So who wants a Harley?

Sportster 1200, 2001..6500 miles. Always garaged. $5000. I'll post a pic and more details later today..it's a buddy of mine.

 

I snow blowed the driveway at 7 this morning. We've got another ~5" or so, had ~10" when I cleared it this morning.

Decided to be a nice guy and drive Shan into work since the roads are absoliutyl terrible. It's like they just didn't plow at all. Anywho, I was waiting in line to merge onto Mass pike from 495. Must have been an accident on the offramp or at the toll, I didn't move at all for 30 minutes. I was finally able to inch my way out of the line and went one exit up to Rt 9, and took that into Framingham. rt 9 was pretty much not plowed and people spun out all over the place. But it was moving and I got her into work.

I'm glad I drove her in, her car would not have made it. Good times.

Seems like Cadillac Deval and his cronies really dropped the ball on this storm...

 

Should have moved them yesterday

 

Rob, If you can't find any Michelin AT2's, i'd recommened the Michelin LTX M+S 2's. Pretty awesome in the snow, and great in the rain and for DD duty.
