I love driving in the snow.

 

I can understand why it might be a challenge for you in the snow specially in school parking lots with dipship drivers around.

Nothing like driving in serious Texas thunderstorms on two lane hill country roads... I love it!

 

It can get pretty exciting even for us Evil Clowns.

Totally agree. Specially when you can see the tornadoes in the distance...

I have always had good luck driving in the snow so I just LOVE doing it. The more the merrier as long as I'm not on a freeway full of rush hour drivers who have no business driving let along driving in a snow storm!

 

Driving in the rain is OK but I worry more about hydro-planing than I do driving in the snow.

 

DO NOT like driving my truck in the snow though, without 4 wheel drive, it just SUCKS. I may learn to over-come some of it, but if it's going to snow hard I'd rather take the car!

Rain = Mud therefore I love driving in the rain! I don't mind the snow but I'm not nearly as confident with the ol' 1wd....

I just plain like driving, anywhere, any time.

 

But everytime it snows, I get so excited I almost poop myself. Ok, maybe not, but you get the point. :thumbs: I also like driving in those huge summer thunder storms that come out of nowhere.

I actually enjoy driving in the snow. A lot of people complain about the weather here but I honestly wouldn't trade it for any other climate. Snow is fun...it's the vehicle eating salt that I don't enjoy :thumbs:

I love driving in the rain during the day, I remember one time driving through a huge puddle in the city and splashing this guy who was completely dry under his umbrella! haha If it was me I would laugh so thats how I justified it. I mean I could have avoided the puddle but my evil side was on a roll that day

 

 

I hate driving in the rain at night when it a little foggy and you cant see very well!!!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
