View Full Version : another snow storm? parkpy 01-31-2007, 03:55 PM my car hates me. GotCone? 01-31-2007, 04:55 PM Snow sucks... I'm so ready for spring. I haven't driven my BMW since December :( r32machine 01-31-2007, 05:02 PM my car hates me. A lot of the roads here in Boulder suck my balls. Back east, where I'm from, they use these future snow removal vehicles with plows on them. :eek: They move all the snow off the road so there isn't a riveted groove going down the center with mega potholes on either side. My car loves the snow, but not when the roads suck ass :shifty Theodore 01-31-2007, 05:07 PM We just got an inch or 2 in KC. Huge pile up on I-35 from what I've heard... coleco 01-31-2007, 05:52 PM i took the bmw out the other day cause the snow was gone and it was still sliding it must've known that snow was coming. back to the Dodge Raider i guess ^^ Dark Helmet 01-31-2007, 05:53 PM meh, no accumulation on the road... bloody cold though... Dark Helmet 01-31-2007, 05:57 PM bah, snow tires own. Theodore 01-31-2007, 06:39 PM I think I might be buying some snows with this paycheck... My car is sitting in front of my gym and my boss drove us back. Didn't even wanna deal with it. I'm hoping the main roads will be clear by the time 6 or 7 rolls around and I get outta here! cS 01-31-2007, 09:01 PM no 4wd in colorado = you are crazy moonluv810 01-31-2007, 10:08 PM I haven't driven my BMW since December :( Haven't driven my since late Oct or early Nov. :( no 4wd in colorado = you are crazy My lil FWD Honda takes me wherever I need to go and that's with all seasons. I do have to admit that I sometimes wish I had a Subaru or the like. Dark Helmet 01-31-2007, 10:46 PM Indi, you also live in the burbs, were they actually remove the snow. I still miss my E28 though... dang that car was great when it was working right. cS 01-31-2007, 10:47 PM You must have one magical FWD Honda or live in a neighborhood with good street maint. because no one was getting around in 2WD (without getting stuck) for about a week there...:D lnferno 01-31-2007, 11:17 PM no 4wd in colorado = you are crazy Couldn't agree more! IMO, you gotta have at least one vehicle that has 4WD/AWD to live without fear here in Colorado! GotCone? 01-31-2007, 11:30 PM bah, snow tires own. Beater Honda w/ snow tires FTW! Dark Helmet 01-31-2007, 11:46 PM I'm running them on the E36, the car is a pile but it goes... i'd kill right now to have these tires on my E28 though... fsmtnbiker 02-01-2007, 12:37 AM Couldn't agree more! IMO, you gotta have at least one vehicle that has 4WD/AWD to live without fear here in Colorado! So far, there's only been one day where I couldn't drive my car, and that was only because it was too low to get over the snow. I really don't think it's necessary to have AWD just to get around. Now, for going skiing, etc... That's another story. Of course, I'm buying a beater, so I guess I can't talk. :) DocWyte 02-01-2007, 01:15 AM Quattro owns all biatches! ///ACS-3 02-01-2007, 02:55 AM Haven't driven my since late Oct or early Nov. :( Pretty much same with me...should be able to drive my car this Sat/Sun though, hopefully ;) coloboardin 02-01-2007, 12:23 PM Exactly why I sold my M3... just wasn't practical. Plus I'm in the mtns every weekend. The way I see it, I have to be practical now, then I can always buy my toys later. moonluv810 02-01-2007, 12:40 PM Jer, Who picked you your E28? How's the E36? Seth, if you're talking about that week after the first storm in December... they hardly plowed the neighborhood streets around here. I got high centered several times. I think ground clearance was more important than AWD that time. X3 would have been nicceeeee. :) They're saying 2-5" by the end of the day, concentration during rush hour. I'm so looking forward to driving home tonight. :( moonluv810 02-01-2007, 12:42 PM Pretty much same with me...should be able to drive my car this Sat/Sun though, hopefully ;) Dude, you're nuts... :) Black ice and performance tires don't get along too well...

That thought crosses my mind every day there is snow on the ground. I miss my Xterra :( I think an Audi might be in my future... or some junker that has all wheel drive. Elusive303 02-01-2007, 03:03 PM I'm tired of this weather, haven't driven my car fow a few months now. I want to drive it so bad:( AlpinweissM3 02-01-2007, 03:40 PM So far, there's only been one day where I couldn't drive my car, and that was only because it was too low to get over the snow.

I guess I am the lucky one, I live on the same street as an elementary school so our street has been dry and bare since like the first storm. coloboardin 02-01-2007, 03:55 PM I'm tired of this weather, haven't driven my car fow a few months now. I want to drive it so bad:( Holy crap! where have you been!? How'd ur bro's M turn out? I never saw the final pics. Elusive303 02-01-2007, 08:20 PM Holy crap! where have you been!? How'd ur bro's M turn out? I never saw the final pics. Kyle, My car turned out fine. I got it back from Nick G back in October, I've put less then 400 miles on it since I got it back. I've been working 7 days a week for the last 7 months so I don't have much free time to drive it and when I do the weather denies me:mad You haven't seen the pics yet because I haven't posted any. I'll do a writeup with pics when the weather gets better. The car put down 370whp and 365lbs when Nick dynoed it. It runs great, power is smooth, no stumbles, no CELS. Nick and his crew did a great job on it, I couldn't be happier. Tu coloboardin 02-01-2007, 09:43 PM Kyle, My car turned out fine.

What size rubbers are you running in the rear to hook up all that power? for some reason I though it was your bro's car that got wrecked and then put a widebody on, but maybe that was fernandos bro... visionaut 02-01-2007, 09:49 PM Goddam. More f'in snow... Have we had snow every week since the weekend before Xmas or what? I've gotten to drive my 02 a total of twice since then - just cuz I SOOOO wanted to drive it again. (That was the 2 days it hit above 40s like a week or so ago and the main roads were dry, though getting it out my alleyway with the 6-9" of permafrost ice that's likely to stay until May was interesting...) So I gotta drive the Zu, instead of my 02... I'm going nuts. Tom Theodore 02-01-2007, 10:12 PM Any more pics of the Rodeo? Thing looks mean. visionaut 02-01-2007, 10:54 PM Any more pics of the Rodeo? OK. {Prolly not cool on a bimmer site, tho'.} It's my bad weather ride, otherwise my 02 is my DD. But with weather like we've been having - roles are reversed... STOP SNOWING!!!!! cS 02-02-2007, 12:16 AM Thats sick!!! :buttrock You have to take me for a ride sometime when I come back down.

So now tu, blake, and pedro will have turbo's... :eyecrazy Theodore 02-02-2007, 12:54 AM OK. {Prolly not cool on a bimmer site, tho'.} It's my bad weather ride, otherwise my 02 is my DD. But with weather like we've been having - roles are reversed... STOP SNOWING!!!!! Bah... we can post whatever we like! What all have you done to it? I like the way that looks. visionaut 02-02-2007, 03:29 AM What all have you done to it? It's got the 3.2l V6 w/Calmini cam & 4-speed electronic Auto trans. Mods include Calmini 3" suspension lift kit, 4" body lift, Rancho 9000X shocks w/dash mounted compressor switches, Superwinch hubs, 2.5" SS catback exhaust, 4.77 diffs, 33" rubber. Kinda fun - but not as fun as my 02! Tom Elusive303 02-02-2007, 09:15 PM Thats sick!!! :buttrock You have to take me for a ride sometime when I come back down.

Yeah, the sick widebody is Pedro not me. I got 235s on there right now but I'll get some 255s soon. Are you still at Glauser MB? We need to get everyone together again and do track days. Tu |
