The sentence directly preceding my “too much power” statement was literally meant to ensure that people would understand that I was referring to much more powerful vehicles (such as the Corvette), and not my own car. I guess I should have known that there would be people in here who would completely ignore the context…

You sound smart. Wait... no you don't.

I don’t even understand what the purpose of your comment is? To demonstrate that your Challenger has the worst traction control system ever fitted to a modern car? Or to prove that your overweight vehicle can do donuts on shitty all-seasons, just like my BRZ can do on sticky summers? Seriously, what point are you…

I never claimed I was bad-ass. I merely was making a point that a low, RED vehicle isn't a problem to drive in the snow when properly equipped.

Thank you for COMPLETELY missing the point of my post.

Sorry if I offended you with my logic. I'm in enough car-related Facebook groups to know that a LOT of the people who wind up like this on the road are on summer tires. So... if that fact bothers you, there isn't much I can do to change it.

The company should have done it, then. This is like forcing your employee to fly a plane to another location in the middle of an ice storm... with a broken de-icing system.

It came that way from Subaru! :P

Yup. Summer tires turn into gripless hockey pucks at these temps. Hell, the ones I have (Pilot Sport 4S) can literally crack in below freezing temperatures.

That second statement was in reference to people who would inevitably claim that the Corvette has too much power to be driven in the snow, which simply isn't true.

All he needed to do was not be a Muppet and put the right tires on the car before driving in the winter. Summer tires should NEVER be driven in wintery conditions, period. They turn into ice skates. On the proper tires, this thing would have been just as controllable as any other vehicle - especially with modern-day…

“...unless properly equipped."

Well they have LESS grip when it’s warm out than summer tires. So that’s 50% of your driving time right there...

Let's just say the right turn from the Drillfield onto West Campus Drive never seemed to get plowed properly... :P

I used to drift these in the winter whenever there was snow on the ground. The combination of sitting over the front wheels, and the vast majority of the weight (and length) being behind you made for a VERY weird feeling when the rear started coming around, lol.

Holy shit, what a gorgeous automobile.

I’m not lowered enough for the vast majority of them to be an issue. Every so often I encounter one that will scrape the front lip a bit if I don’t do the ricer angle thing, but even so, no big deal.

Haha, yeah that’s the bridge on which that above photo was taken. I had heard the same. Given some of the other road construction they’ve been doing recently, I’ve no idea if that is still part of the plan, but yes that is the story behind it (I got to take the tour as part of driving that shuttle bus for them, and…

If you’re getting that kind of damage on a regular old sedan, you should probably just hand in your driver’s license. I daily-drive a lowered BRZ with a front lip, low profile tires, and aftermarket suspension on Chicago roadways year-round, and don’t have the kinds of problems you’re talking about. Pretty sure if the…

Yup! I drove for them for a number of years, and functioned in other higher roles as well! You are correct. I stole that original photo from Google. Their first two articulated buses, which are what they had while I was there, were DE60LFRs (6021 and 6022). They had three round lights on each side. I have photos of…
