Yep, it does. It was driver training since this was the first major snowstorm of the season. I had nothing better to do after breakfast so went along for the ride and figured Id get some media while at it. Safer drivers = better drivers :P

And yes, videos are coming soon!

Well it was a legit training excercise. There was even a trainer along on the bus. This was just so that the driver could get a feel for the bus, we went out onto the streets after and actually went to all the stops along the route.

Here in Western WA with the snow/ice storm we just had had, I couldn't get enough of the snow/ice. Great fun driving around everywhere and watching people spin out in their 4x4s.

I meant this thread doesn't have anything to do with 4th Gens in general... would belong in the off topic forum

We got the tail end of that snowstorm up here. I even put the all season tires back on ONLY in the rear on my beater (1993 Plymouth Sundance), for more oversteer LOL

But I have no handbrake so its trickier.

I wish I enjoyed it. We got 1" of ice, 3" of snow, then 2" of sleet and freezing rain. Then temps in the teens - now it's all frozen solid and no melting in sight.

Meanwhile, I find out that my tire guy replaced my fronts with Kumho SPTs. I asked for ASX's (all-seasons) and when I picked it up he said they were out of ASX but put on an upgrade model. I trusted him, but when the car refused to move out of a level parking space on the snow I looked it up and those tires are summer tires. So I haven't been able to drive the max. It wont' move.

2 feet of powder would have been far better. Oh wait I'm just *****ing bring on the videos.

This reminds me I need to go watch the bus races at the local dirt oval track. Imagine 6 buses crowded around a tiny dirt oval.

Yes, the driver has never driven a 40' bus in the snow before so he figured it would be a good idea to practice a bit without passengers and, while at it, have some fun. Video will be going up tonight!

a bus

I should have made a video the other day. I put my completely BALD 2 year old tires back on my car (cause it was like a sleeting snow) and went to kmart parking lot. for about 3 hours of fun. All I really had to do was turn the wheel just a little bit and the back end would wip around. Kinda gayish to try and drive it back home like that too..
