spc2125 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I drove in a whiteout ish condition the end of december coning bavk from the mechanic after a center diff replacement. Like 50 miles of not being able to see 10-15 ft in front of you. I almost cried. Contemplated pulling and finding a motel, but i manned up snd took thst storm by the balls. Did make good timing though, only took like 1hr 45 instead of the regular 55 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNVAR Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sigh. Figures that I bought snow tires in 2011 just in case after having experienced that awful storm in Dec. 2010 and then there's barely any snow in 2011, and 2012. And FINALLY, I get a chance to take advantage of my Dunlop Wintersport M3s this weekend because of Nemo! But instead... I'm flying out to Florida while my car sits in the garage. AhHHhhHHHHHH!!! On the plus side, I'll be at Universal Studios and Disney until Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlyOldManMN Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 They say we getting 9" of snow over night & I have to work tomorrow morning. That's rough. All that snow and a mandatory commute on a day where there will be minimal traffic. Harsh man... *whistles dixie* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh man... *whistles dixie* I know, the last time this happen I was using staggered plow trucks as orange cones when I got to the highway. And one of the wing men gave me a thumb up.

instantfury Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 No. Not at all. In a week or two, yes. Maybe. Ball joints are shot so anything over, say a quarter inch, makes the car wobble from side to side. Piece of metal that holds the rear sway bar bracket broke, and my alignment is off so I have uneven tire wear in the left rear. Annnd I need brakes and rotors all around. Tie rods too. Tires also.

Shotokan1509 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Survived... dig out, is killer though. I highly doubt a city plow can clear our street. Had to shovel a path to walk mother to work (hospital).. I created foot holes on the streets for her. http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/ACA9BD9D-4634-4BDD-96CF-0EE1583BD04A-13013-00000BEC4BB7C194_zpsbd9c83cf.jpg http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/19DAB313-4AEE-4FA7-95E8-286413D889B4-13013-00000BEC662BABAA_zps2cba2ed5.jpg My Father ~6' standing at bottom of driveway http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/C700D25E-87AA-40B3-886F-CB287D550729-122-0000000188E5E6BC_zps8666e6d9.jpg Impreza far left, wagon in front of it, my legacy on right http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/FABE9F17-1BF0-410B-B806-81CC766BA6A3-13013-00000BEC51ADEFA2_zpse306082f.jpg http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/BAD57E9D-3C8C-4C18-9114-1C9B85F4DD5A-122-000000018DA85E2F_zpse597e927.jpg From garage end of driveway http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/244E368B-A076-406C-93BF-A069DE4E7AEE-13013-00000BEC456036D5_zps99235217.jpg http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/1CD07F57-AFF0-4007-84F9-8D7550A54564-13013-00000BEC3AEC2202_zpse4f7f91a.jpg Part of problem is snow is much taller than snowblower intake http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag1/Shotokan1509/Blizzard%202013/E64A1981-9FE3-4881-9FE2-351C55E7B6F8-122-000000019B91616A_zpsf9b924b3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
