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 agree it is kind of cool for those that don't want to go all out on a roof rack, but the guy posted the same link in 3 different threads which is not cool.
While you're Googling, check out wiredsport's threads on this site. That is an acceptable way for vendors to behave on a forum as opposed to pretending to be your own customers and trick people. Your product is pretty cool, but waking zombie threads (which consequently emails everyone) is not an acceptable way to promote it.
vtrico, how do you think it'd fair on a 2000 mile road trip? i also see that you have bindings on one of the snowboards in both instances. would it work with 2 boards without bindings or would they slide too much everytime you stop and go??
Well I actually tested it with a board without bindings and at substantially high speeds. The board with bindings is my personal board, and the one above it is one I bought off craiglist for 50 bucks but never put bindings on it. But I used the crappier board in testing in case something went wrong, and it worked fine.
Also not pictured I have to update the video and pics. You have a nose cone that fits over the front of the snowboards that helps make it more aerodynamic.
With that being said in all the times I used it I never used it for a long trip like that. Not saying it can't but I just want to be completely honest with you. I have used it at highway speeds, and I think you could do 75, but I wouldn't go much faster than that.
cifex, I wasn't sure what area you were talking about as far as wiredsport, is that a vendor on this site, or is that an actually site, could you provide a link thanks.
05 Grand Cherokee as of November, my 98 Cherokee was dying, it was so much fun to own, it was like a sports car with 4x4, the Grand is big comfortable sofa compared
I drive an 03 Mitsu Galant GTZ. It's my only vehicle lol.
And who cares about the VW/Audi thing? Toyota is Lexus and Scion, Honda is Acura, GMC is Chevy and much more, blah blah blah. Hell, Ford has Mazda platforms.
My Rover not only took me to the mountain, but also took me over several others...that is until I sold it before moving over here to Europe... Thankfully, I was able to buy a 2008 Disco with a turbo diesel over here...
The only problem with the older Rovers is the fact you'll have to wrench on them quite often.
yeah, but no one ever answered my question. would the better car be a honda pilot, passat or outback??
snowolf, at least this isnt like last time when ba insulted me on twitter and we kept the fight going on private messaging after you closed the thread :laugh: :dunno: :cheeky4:
I think the coast is clear now...here's my baby. Q5 3.2 quattro with all season tires. This bitch corners like she's on rails. Turn off the traction control in the snow and she handles like a dream. I heart quattro.
plus if i get one im going to have the rocker panels painted the color of the car- black.
