What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[SnakeEyeSS]

Probably depends how much you break but yes $175. I should probably just order one now to insure I never break it.

Probably buy 10, burying them in a airtight waterproof capsule, then wait until they hit rare NOS status. Edited October 18, 2015 by SnakeEyes

I'll be buried in airtight waterproof capsule long before they become rare NOS status.

Up here they spray a mix of salt and molasses on the roads in the winter.

 

That crap STICKS and is corrosive as hell!

 

..the fine stones they use aren't too good either. They slide and fly all over the place.

They do sand salt mix here in my county .

 

The state does the liquid stuff that is sticky which I hate.

It takes a pressure washer with detergent to get it all off.

Same here in OK. I think car haters came up with that. In OK they dont plow to the road because they are so bad already, so they plow down to 2 inches, leaving a nice ice sheet from the blade friction, then throw sand on top of it with salt or sand on top, which for some reason only seems to work in sunlight.

Hmmm, this would be interesting if I got a decent price for the tahoe as a trade. This dealer has some decent prices.

This caught my eye also, but read the 22's kill the ride

Doubt I'll buy anything. Nobody is interested in GMT900s around here lately. Seems some by work sit on lots for quite a while, they used to last a week or two.

 

 

Still, a chevy dealer is my best chance

 

Wrong thread. Oh well, kinda fits still

Oh yeah, gotta love road salt! This state dumps 20 tons of it per mile any time the road even LOOKS moist, or the forecast calls for any kind of precipitation with temps below 32°. The minute things freeze, people up here - even though they're born and raised in snow - start crashing into each other and running off the road like mindless dolts. It amazes me every winter. Gets worse every year too.

 

Forget personal responsibility, like buying SNOW tires - or even GOOD tires. Nope! Just make everyone's car rot out in 7 years (GM, Ford and Dodge, anyway) so they can do 85 in 3' of snow!

[kstruckcountry]

I'd rather have them blade and nothing else. With good tires and common sense it's not an issue. Did Berthoud with 8 inches on it and didn't even need 4x4, due to how well the tires grab fresh snow. SLOW DOWN

[Jsdirt]

^^^ THIS!!

[SnakeEyeSS]

Any preferences on snow tires? Will be buying a set for the CX-5 next month. Decided that would be better than AWD that would only be needed a week or two a year at most. Which would add stuff to maintain And break and decrease MPG. I have only needed snow tires on a FWD vehicle once, but figure just in case....

We have Blizzaks on the Jeep and they are very good for a non-studded tire. I always run studded winters on the truck. Our winter is freeze/thaw most every day and a lot of wet ice conditions.

[Jsdirt]

Got Blizzaks on the OEM 18's that came with my truck. AWESOME tire.

 

When we had that freak 2'+ October snowstorm in '11, I was driving back home from Worcester in the peak of it. I was just about to pass a guy on the right who was doing 10mph, since the right lane didn't have any tire tracks for the guy to follow. Someone in a newer 2nd gen Blazer came flying up on me just as I was about to change lanes, and attempted to pass, and almost hit my rear quarter. Then he hangs there for almost a mile. I finally got 1" of space to cut in, and got in there, and blew by the other guy. Now the Blazer is on my bumper following my tracks. Guy tailgated me for miles - I was getting aggravated. At one point I was up to 55mph - way too fast, but nobody was on the road. This guy was not far behind the whole time. Suddenly I saw headlights flashing in my rearview - I'm thinking "WTF is this guy's problem???" Thought he was flashing his lights at me, but it was him careening across one side of the road and bouncing off the curb on the other. Just missed a pole too! Had no idea I was on glare ice!! I let off the gas and started coasting at that point, and came into a tight turn there at about 40 - truck started pushing REAL bad, so I lightly throttled into it, and it straightened right out. I'd have wrecked if not for the Blizzaks. After that, the Blazer was miles behind me.

 

Goes to show how good those tires really are. A full sized 6k lb. pickup did better than the little Blazer!

Used it as my daily today. Truck is getting transmission rebuilt, so the nova it is.

[Jsdirt]

Not a bad thing ...
