New to the forums. Currently have a BMW 330xi as my vehicle to get to the mountain. See where that's a problem? More than a couple inches on the road and I am screwed..
Looking for input on what vehicles you all drive to the mountain. I have about 12k to put into this. Maybe more.
I drove on ice with my Subaru but I had my dedicated winter wheels on, I had way better grip then I thought given the little hill I had to go up to meet the main road, I only ended up driving on the ice was because of a little mis communication with a friend at work, I thought he wanted me to pick him up at his house, I called him and he told me he was already at work and he sounded like he was in a panic when I told him I was at his house lol
Anyone seen the new Audi allroad? That thing looks sick, although it's a little pricey. Anyone know anyone with one of these and how they fare in the mountains?
I love seeing slammed trucks/SUVs sliding into ditches all over the place when it snows because of the low profile summer tires on 24's. my Subaru probably has better ground clearance than that thing.
Both of these do just fine at my local spots. The lil 3 did great on the 395 stretch from Tahoe through Mammoth while it was dumping. In most conditions the biggest factor will be the driver.
I will be lowering my outback about 1.5" anyways these are from tonight, btw I keep two sets of tires one for winter and one for summer, the summers are 205/55/16
Nice pics! Fucking jealous of you east coasters' winter blizzard. Im sure you guys are just loving it! We have been in a dry spell for weeks. Sucks ass.
well if he drives a newer ob or forester he has better ground clearance. i must be complete *******. other than lowering it for your daughter's disability (which i completely understand), slammed cars look god awful. Like the most ridiculous, ugly, pointless look ever. Stock looks better (to me) 10 times out of 10.

btw some idiot figures he would do 50 on the highway.. he got maybe 5,000 ft ahead and I saw him spin out and almost hit the jersey barrier really good.. crazy man..
I kept my speed between 40-45 just because you need to leave space to slow and stop.
I'm going to be an arrogant Canadian for a second and say, "Pft, that's not a lot of snow." With that being said, UGH! I am jealous of how much snow you're getting. Everything is melting here. =(
I'm driving Tom Wallisch's old car right now. It's some shitty '99 Ford Contour that barely drives, but the like 2 people who know who Tom Wallisch are are pretty impressed.
