I've been in 3-4 feet with an audi rs4 on blizzaks on unplowed roads. . Suuuuure you were. I'm not talking about drifts; I'm talking about a consistent snow depth. You wouldn't be able to see where you are going in a car in a constant 3-4 feet of snow. At all. You would be in a ditch or hit a tree in no time. And like I said, fluff is easy to go through. Heavy snow is totally different, and ground clearance matters a LOT. Your Audi isn't going through a constant 15" of heavy wet snow like a truck will. Not a chance. |

Quote HistoryMy '65 is still one of my favorite cars to drive on snow and ice. Rear engine, RWD, a proper hand brake, tall, skinny tires, and a 6 inch square on each lower corner of the windshield to see through.

Your Audi isn't going through a constant 15" of heavy wet snow like a truck will. Not a chance. Defroster on high and there was a spot like 1 foot high mostly in the center of the windshield to see out of. the snow was consistently at side window level. Had some buddies with and it got hairy a few times. It wasn't heavy went snow constantly that deep. It was just a blizzard and on very rural roads that had no maintenance. A few times I had the front of the car stuck up on packed snow that it was off the ground... one of them is when I ripped the belly pan off backing out my path. ETA at the opposite end of that spectrum I remember trying to get my v12 twin turbo benz with ultra summer tires on to my storage garage with just a light skim coating of snow on that road, that light you could still see lines on the road through the snow and I couldn't make it up a little slight incline :-( |

Kodiak will rain, then hard freeze overnight, then rain then hard freeze then rain. 2 inches of shiny plate glass on the roads with a fresh gale blasting in off the ocean. This lady was doing nothing wrong, just sitting still in hee van, but the crown of the road and the wind just slid her into the ditch. I can still see her silent screams through the windshield and i chuckle. Same cycle happens where I live in the foothills of Stevens pass. Coming back from snowboarding one year coming down the pass a lady put her van in the ditch. Well she was trying to get people to stop, and I drove around her to keep moving because the road was banked and stopping meant sliding right into the ditch, only thing keeping us up was speed. (like, 15 mph, not much). Car behind me stops for her... slides right into the ditch sideways once it dropped below 5 mph. Jammed up the whole road, and was probably about 30 minutes before I ever saw headlights in my rear view again. |

I'll finally admit to you southerners our yankee secret; it is a hell of a lot harder driving in 1-2" of snow vs 12"+.
Whoever said a big heavy truck is bad in the snow is a moron. The heavier the truck, the easier it is. More weight over the steer axle is always better. |

I've lost track of how many tools driving brodozers I've seen try to take a corner super fast while the roads are covered and snow and ice.....and end up in the ditch, or crossing the lane into other traffic. Surprise a-hole, your 8" lift and 24" wheels and low profile tires aren't going to help you make a corner that you should be taking at 20mph.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Nice truck, but 'floatation' type tires aren't fer shit in most winter conditions. They tend to 'float' on top of crusted over snow pack...until you get several miles down the road and you break through the crust. Good luck getting your truck back up on the crust. Maybe in the spring. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've been in 3-4 feet with an audi rs4 on blizzaks on unplowed roads. We wont talk about the inner fender wells ripped out, all the under belly plastic ripped off, or from when I had to plow through a 5' high bank in reverse the exhaust getting pushed a little bit so when I down shifted the drive shaft clanked off of it every time. Ah to be young again early 20's! Oh yea and not being able to open the doors right because the snow was so high lol I seriously did maybe 60 miles that way on back roads. Another time was an Audi TT-RS the same situation, same tires. Trying to get to a airport to leave the country and they were closing around SE PA so we quick hauled ass to LaGuardia. My girlfriends escalade left the emblem print in the snow when she parked. Both of those cars were even lowered. You drove 60 miles in 3' - 5' of snow in a rs4 (no idea what that is)? |

Coated everything - everything - with an inch of crystal clear ice. The chow hall closed for two days...we ate out of the vending machines in billeting.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Nothing increases traction in bad conditions like stacks, truck nuts and salt life and yeti stickers. When those assets are deployed by an operator with a flat billed hat and large Oakley sunglasses, the vehicle would be unstoppable !! Around here salt life has been replaced with this Heybo bullshit. The Brodozer Crowd has taken what use to be a little known outside of the south greeting and turned it into something that any regular guy is almost embarresed to say now. Years ago I use to enjoy calling someone from up north Bo just to watch them pause for a second wondering WTF I just said. Now the Flatbrim's (and yes any of you bastards who sport a Heybo sticker, tshirt, or hat) have ruined that for us forever. Well, at least for now I still have my old solid gold standby greating unspoiled. Buddy Roe. Only person of fame I've ever heard repeat it is Miami rapper Trick Daddy. But I guess now it will not be long til some dipshit puts Buddy Roe on a sticker so they can look cool at college football games amid a sea of Heybo's.
