Snowpacolypse 2011 is approaching

[RadiomanATL]

sigh...people like you win the Darwin Award every year.

Because he lost control of a vehicle on snowy roads??

Basically...because he lives in Atlanta, doesn't know how to drive on snowy/icy roads, and doesn't have the proper tires. Prolly.

We have people here that drive into canals because the streets flood and they are just too stupid to stay home.

Actually, I do know how to drive on snowy roads.

And brand new tires on the vehicle. Put them on last week. Certainly not snow tires, but good enough where I was able to do things that most were not able to. Passed a bunch of vehicles that had spun out into ditches.

And I drove a forklift on the snow and ice all day today. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That was fun, except for the bitter cold.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Oh, and the forklift has slicks, not stubby's.

WAAAAAAYYYY fun.

 

[Ravi]

Okay, then. You only get an honorable mention at the Darwin Awards.

The logistics behind controlling a vehicle during a spin out or a fish tail don't change, whether it's snowy roads, wet roads, sandy roads, etc. The mechanics and physics are still the same. Although with sandy conditions, you get a little extra traction to work with that you wouldn't get with snow, ice, or water.

Your attempt at ridicule is unfounded

 

[Ravi]

Try harder and quit whining about being a loser. Jeesh!

I grew up on the gulf coast, on the beach. Driving on sand is tougher. You don't spin out, but you do get bogged down way easier.

I meant when theres a dusting of sand on the street. Full sand is a whole different story.

The main thing is that Ravi got punked out of the thread

 

[RadiomanATL]

Try harder and quit whining about being a loser. Jeesh!

Maybe I'll take the truck tomorrow. After putting on some slick tires. And throwing the jack and spare in the garage.

And turn on the hose tonight and coat the driveway in ice!

Do you think I have a chance then?

Ridicule is never unfounded.

Snow/sand...okay. But not ice. There is a difference.

Hey, it's no skin off my nose if Radio wants to win the award.

It will be even funner if you build some snowmen to dodge along the route.
