Fess up, who was it... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was watching TV while on the tradmill and the news was doing the "damage report," showing all the stuck cars etc.
They flash through video, showing random cars for about a second each...hey, was that a 240sx?
A minute later, two cops are pushing the back of a black S14 SE in ~1inch of snow  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
It was a kid driving, maybe 17. Man, he was all over that road, fishtailing, spinning, then getting stuck. They talked with him for a second, but I couldn't hear. It appeared to be a 5 speed too.
So, fess up, who was it   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

[sorry, dont wanna be a post whore]

I saw a 180 drift in a straight line today, nearly ltook out the ZX3 in front of him...

I think I am hanging the 240s key's up for the winter.  It way too much of a risk out there being that this is my first rwd car, and my tire tread is a joke.  I dont have the money to bang out.

snow and cars = stuck...stuck= me pushing ALLLLLL fucking day

Sounds like someone left their summer tires on too long.

Silviaholic · 12-07-2002, 02:45 PM

damn.... just get some GOOD snow tires!!  I've been plowing through snow deep enough to be leaving an indentation of what my undercar cowling looks like....  i'll load a pic up later of what i did today just to see if it was possible <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

that said, i've got a black S14, but no, I haven't gotten stuck.  been tempted to ask other people that looked stuck if they need some help <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

What snow tires do you have, and where do you live, snow is the main reason I won't be getting a 240sx until 2003, that and I am going on vacation on the 16th. Yay I won't see any snow for 3Weeks, and I will be nice and warm, hopefully see skylines and stuff over there, but I don't think they sell em there/

But anyway what snow tires do you have and how much did they cost.
