Well yesterday, my work place, Crown Sterling called me and asked if I could make it to work since everybody else said they couldn't because of the snow. They just wanted to work a skeleton crew and needed me to bus, back cook, and dishwash the whole night. So I just said **** it, I'll be there and I need the hours anyway since I'm off all weekend for my cousin's wedding which is out of town. So anyways, I hop my car and start it up. Let it sit for a couple as I scrape all the snow and ice off my car. I jump and start to back up. Didn't make it too far until my car had slid into the yard and off the driveway. Finally got her straight and got it out of the driveway. Started to make my way up the street and proceded to drift everywhere. blah blah blah, I'm driving....

Ok, now I'm pretty close to work. Managed to start on high traffic roads because of the better conditions of the roads. Then I make the stupidest decision of the day. I decide to go the back way to work through a residential area that hasn't been blowed or salted. I start down the hill on this road doing about 15 in a 25 and boom. My car is starting to slide side to side and then it I do a complete 360 and my car is sitting sideways in the road. This lady stops because she was going to opposite way of me and just watches. So then she just passes me while I'm sitting sideways and laughs and I wave at her. Took me about 10 minutes to get the car straight on the road again make my way back to work. And let's just say after everybody saw me do that no one was going to get a ticket for following to close.

Now the whole point of this story is, DON'T DRIVE IN THE SNOW WITH Nitto 555R Drags!!!! My first time driving in the snow and with DR's. I had no business even leaving the house and I was a complete idiot. I'm just lucky I didn't hit another car that was parked on the side of that road or slide into someone's yard and hit something else.

Nitto 555 DR ..........ummmmm snow and ice.......what the h*** were you thinking.your lucky you didnt hurt yourself or worse

 

totally agree, I tried driving my '96 in the snow once wth the stock 245/45/17's and never made it outta' my driveway before getting stuck
lesson learned

 

**** i have trouble driving on regular tires..I only did it once but still it wasent fun

 

LOL Im impressed you made it THAT far on those things...lol glad you made it ok, I was waiting to hear that you put it in a ditch or something

 

i wouldnt drive on snow and ice with any tire on my stang. when I had my stock goodyears...I couldnt even get out the drive way which didnt have alot of snow or ice.

I feel bad for you people that dont have a front wheel drive or 4x4 winter beater like i do..I couldnt imagine driving the mustang throughout the winter...actually..it wouldnt be possible..

 

i havent been to shcool in two days because i cant get of of my neighborhood

 

I got stuck in my driveway one winter day. I ended up in my front yard and i had to call my boss to get me out. The next day the same thing happened with my old s10, but i eventually got out 45 minutes later.

 

heh. good excuse. I should use that one

 

lmao f*** that the first time we got a good snow with my car my dad told me to get in the car and take him for a drive...my neighborhood has a big downhill curve then back up hill again. And all my dad was tellin me was if I crash the car into somethin he'll take it away...Mind you this is with stock **balding** tires. To make things worse he cranks up the stereo and reads the news paper...he wanted me to lap the neighborhood 5 times to get the hang of driving...I laugh now but at the time i was scared ****less. Oh and it was about 5-6 inches of snow, but it had been packed down but other cars. Somehow i managed...sure glad i got those big ol pirelli's out back now...atleast i'll get traction...
