I'm a bitch because I defend myself?

I PARTICIPATE HERE

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKING CUMSTAIN

I don't sulk, and I also don't get pushed around on the internet or IRL. What are u getting at? There is plenty of info on this site about who I really am. Calling me childish doesn't make it so.

GTFO

Maybe someone can explain to me why I should tolerate this guy regardless of whether you like my car. I'm always open to constructive criticism. I know he's just being a useless troll and he's totally under my skin, but like I said, I'm just not one to get pushed around.

I just got home driving down a 7% incline in a snowstorm on i70 and came within a fucking matrix scene of getting taken out by some dickhead as he mashed the gas and went sideways backed into the middle median in front of me at about 60mph and then came forward into my lane just behind me crashing into the right wall as well and causing a pileup behind. Pretty drivey hot and bothered right now!

and for NWBoarder, i had a Geo metro back in 96-98 and with chains and sandbags it sure was a freaking blast driving on over a foot of snow in Bremerton/silverdale during the storm the day after x-mas in 97'

You and your civic are awesome. And you rock lovely turquoise boots.

We just hate you because you already have how many days? I still have almost two weeks until I even see snow. It's in the 80s where I live.....at least that's what the weather report says. I am chained to my fucking desk for the next 11 days from sun up to well past sundown

Now...that's all the nice I have in me for like,.....the rest of the year. I hope you're happy.

Drifting and donuts were so damn fun in that thing. And at 16, I didn't give 2 shits about what I did to my little beater truck.

When these people fuck up it usually is more spectacular and keeps your road closed for a much longer time.

It's the Indian, not the arrow. Skill and common senses trumps equipment every time. Having said that, I drive a pickup when not driving a semi and in deep unplowed snow it is a better tool for the job than a small car. The problem I see with the average pickup and SUV driver is they think they are invincible and overdrive their skill level and that if the vehicle.

On a plowed icy road, I actually think the small FWD car handles better than a large heavy pickup with a high center of gravity. It all comes down to the driver.

Which brings me to this shit storm with Snowklinger and comeback. Comeback, we have had this conversation before in this thread a few years back. Your tone is always caustic and incendiary. You seem to start fights in almost every thread you become engaged in. Do us all a favor and think about other people may react and tone it down. Not every post has to end with "you idiot" ( even when you don't write it your tone still says it).

Snowklinger, don't react, respond. It's cool that you are so capable navigating your car on these shit roads but don't let someone who disagrees with you in a trollish manner allow you to loose your control and stoop to that same level in your responses. There are plenty of people who will agree with you that your car is just fine in the snow and plenty who will not. If it works for you that is all that is important. Personally up here because of the depth and density if our snow, combined with the fact ODOT is incompetent at plowing roads, I feel better in a heavy high clearance truck.

Keep it in perspective folks. Bottom line is we are talking about a chunk of steel and plastic with 4 wheels that gets you from point A to point B. The rude you are defending to the death is going to a pile of scrap metal in the junk yard soon and you will have long forgotten it. This thread has had a long run; it would be a shame to lock it down because folks can't act like adults and treat each other with some respect.

I have never understood the level of passion people have over car talk....
