The heaviest Modifikation i see around here is maybe an exhaust pipe wich is very likely not legal here. But i did once see a street legal 900hp vw beetle at the wörthersee vw tuning meeting dont know how he did it but id like to have the same tüv guy as he had
Just your average conversation with a non car-guy: Non car-guy: "Hey what was that noise?" Car-guy: "That was the clutch engaging." "Isn't that an automatic?" "Yes.." "Automatics don't have a clutch!" ".."
Most automatics have a torque converter, but this was a Golf R, which has a DCT. So he was right in a sense.
So my parents are still against every car we find so im having a new plan well just drive into the city and just buy a car because if we have one then we have one and they cant do anything against it
They arent against a corolla or a golf but my brother is against those and yes my parents have a car my mum owns a skoda rapid and my dad and i currently share a skoda superb sportsline because skoda cant get another superb out the next few months
Highway 95 a few cars behind a plow truck: Highway 95 a while behind that plow truck after I stopped to help some guy get his Dodge Dakota out of the ditch: And Dufort road, a smaller but still busy and paved main road that is usually plowed: I don't think I've ever driven in anything that bad, granted I've only been driving for a few years but it was pretty crazy. I hit a drift on Dufort that flew over my truck when I was only going about 25mph.
Sometimes I forget I'm from Canada and that's not normal. Last year I took a Fiat 500 over a mountain pass in weather like that.
Did you have AWD and/or chains? Because I saw plenty of smaller cars stuck that couldn't even make it through Sandpoint city streets so I'm not sure how a little Fiat could have done it. And that kind of snow or worse is actually pretty normal around here for the mountains and passes, just not down in the valleys. I can't imagine what Lookout pass looks like right now.
No, just front wheel drive. I think it had all-seasons on it too. I just took it easy, used light throttle, and never had an issue apart from getting it a little sideways once. Getting stuck in snow usually happens when you give it too much gas and break traction.
That's when it really gets tricky. I mostly see people get stuck because they're trying to get up an incline by giving it more and more gas and just spinning the tires.
The first 2 pics there I've never seen. My town budget doesn't allow them to send gritting trucks or plows out so we've not had any road salt this year and when we had 3-4" of snow, none of it was plowed. It looked alot like the 3rd pic, only not as deep, and that's basically the norm for when it snows in my area, make your own path. Thankfully we don't really get snow very often and when we do, it's usually only an inch or 2 which is pretty manageable
TTAC, lets say every malaise American car is fucking crap even if they aren't, and sin every goddamn 70's-80's GM products.
I would actually like it if we didn't get any salt on the road, I hate the stuff. The plowing is nice and sand helps quite a bit with traction but salt just rusts out vehicles and kills all of the vegetation alongside the road.
my dad has an 04 silverado that probably will have to be scrapped within the next decade because of it
