It's starting to ice up!

Looks like mother nature is starting to prepare the roads for all the Subaru drivers. I'm looking forward to my first winter with the subie.

Today should be a fun afternoon as long as none else smashes into me.

 

Watch those re92s...scary

 

all rain here. i wont be lucky enough to see snow

 

amen. this afternoon is going to be freaking sweet

 

I bet that there will be a crap load of crashes today and tomorrow.

 

I heard on the news that MNDOT put an anti-ice solution on the roads last night, but the rain is going to wash it away before it snows.

 

Trees are starting to ice up here in Edina ~ but the roads are fine.

Just wet

 

ran mine for 2 winters and almost 3 yrs... ha ha ha

 

YOU SIR are daring, but i guess they arent that bad, about as grippy as a summer tire, lol

 

temp around my house is hovering at 32. getting some ice buildup, but really it's all water right now. it's gonna suck when it all freezes

 

about a quarter inch of ice here in delano and huge snow flakes

 

its kinda icy in BP ...lol i just had some fun

 

Sunny and 18 here

 

It is snowing/sleeting/rain here

 

omg, finally snowing. seeya guys, it's the perfect time to run some errands

 

HUGE snow falkes falling in Eden Prairie right now!

 

might be time for snow tires tomorrow during the day. Gotta go adventure out on some re92s until then =[

 

We got an inch already in tonka holy mother....

 

maybe those snows need to go on this afternoon...

 

Yea, I'm with my RE92's today...will see for myself how much they suck. Since the snow is falling, any good places to go (empty lots, etc..) to just test tires and push it a little without fear of running into anyone?

 

Aww, I'm flying out for FL today.. Tell me how those stockers run for ya' Sky.

 

I would try it at night when everyone's at home and go to a Walmart Parking lot

 

Yea, that's what I'm planning on. Just curious if anyone has a favorite spot or knows a good place

 

Whoohoo, had some fun around St Louis Park. First time on the white stuff for me in a Subie.

Crappy cell phone pic, back in the garage at work..

 

i hate how you lose a lane when it snows

 

wtf are you talking about??? you drive a suby take the lane back!!

 

Lost power at work today in New Hope = gone home early.

When I was close to home I couldn't even take turns at 15 mph without sliding out wide (RE92s with 19K on them so far). Kinda scary.

 

i just want to announce that after spending my lunch break driving around i love my car


fwd? rwd? whats that?

 

my blizzaks were beasts today. Didnt slide at all unless I wanted it to. I felt bad for who ever was driving the caddie in front of me. Almost lost it about 3 times

 

stupid people drive down the very middle of the street. can't go on the right or your you'll hit a fire hydrant, can't go on the left or you'll hit oncoming traffic.

at least its like that until the plow goes through

 

ahh...swapped my nokians today. Cant wait til all the idiotas and careless are off the roads so i can have a little fun. I drove around on my summer tires for about a half hour and said, this sux. Tis all better now. Finally!

 

I left work at 2:30 today I think the average speed was from zero to 30 MPH from Roseville to Delano.

 

snow + winter tires + DCCD = fun

I'm glad I bought a Subie. :biggthumpup:

 

Ya, I'm trying the Falken ZE 512 tires this year. They're ok... but for this weather, I miss my Blizzaks.

 

AWD. Pirelli 210s. I was a sure footed, grinning fool! First slick stuff in the STI, and I'm a happy, happy boy.:biggrin:

 

Woot!!

We have about 2 inches in Roseville. I found 5 good places to have some fun on my way home from the dentist. County Roads B2 and C between 35W and Snelling are gold!! Tons of industrial areas with lit lots that are totally empty. They're not huge, but big enough for one car. Petco lot off of Snelling is BIG (near REI).

I need to do this more because it's f!cking addicting going sideways in a car!

This board is a bad influence. I'm thinking about trading the Outback for a WRX wagon...

Reid

 

*cough* Forester XT *cough*

 

In typical coon rapids fasion my extremely curvy neighborhood is un touched by the plow. This sure beats fwd...I'm never goin back...except back outside to slide around some more...

 

I put the snows on today and went and ravaged a few parking lots on my way home from karting around 11pm.

did not want to be driving in snow on those damn re92's at all.

 

I had some fun in the rain and then more fun in the snow today. I think my old 2.5RS was still easier to drive sideways than my rex. More torque right off idle and more linear power delivery. Oh, well. I'll start practicing those double-clutch downshifts into 1st gear again.

 

I still think a 1998 2.5RS with an open rear diff is the best drifting/screwing around on loose surfaces subaru.

 

azenis+snow = t3h Los3.......I could not stop at all today on my way home from work. The snow came very unexpectingly.....but got home and slapped on the winters......gotta love it!

 

Absolutely not... Nothing like locking the center diff and using the throttle to steer! :lollol:
