I think I’m going to be sick. That Miura was my father’s. Number 4906. He sold it to help pay for the family home in 1997... for less than 10% of what it would go for these days. I’m terrified to think of how expensive it has become, because it is my ambition to get it back for my family some day.

Yes. Yes I do.

“Mine.”

I mean, the repair shop probably did a better job of putting it back together than the factory.

It's basically a muscle car. I'm sure you could take it off road, just like I'm sure you could use a loaf of freshly baked bread as a fleshlight, but you're better off enjoying it for what it is.

I can't remember—did they ever find the people who stole your Beetle?

Not all truckers are great drivers. But sometimes we have to use our size to get people out of our way. Think of it this way: you're in your car, not getting paid by the mile, most likely on your way home from work. (Maybe not, but just go with it.) We are at work, and just like how you've got to be more productive to…

Haha well the floor mats aren't really relevant going uphill, since I think it's unlikely any minor push will really keep you rolling uphill. If your car is already slipping away, there's not a lot you can do other than reevaluate your lfie choices. But it's helpful if you drove into worse snow than you thought (say…

It depends on the hill/mountain road and safety of yourself/passenger and other drivers and current location on the hill. Each situation is different. (for instance 10 feet away from the bottom of the hill I am going down the hill by letting off the brake enough to get going and letting the abs and gravity do the…

To avoid problems like in that video, I drive on these:

Starting in 2nd doesn't do much, since it'll still actually start in first gear but just won't let it get above 2nd. Just be *really* easy on the throttle.

Ha! I've carried chains for years, but have never had to put them on (AWD + snow tires). As for walking home, I should have clarified: it's seldom more than 1-2 miles. There are a lot of hilltop neighborhoods that have pretty steep approaches, but they're not very large. Just a mile or so long and about 500 feet of…

Best advice not for winter driving but driving in general: Drive like there's a full glass of water on your dash that youre trying not to spill. Almost everything else follows.

As far as slipping to the point where you completely stop forward movement, but aren't sliding backwards, again try to idle out of it, or put it in low gear and slowly apply gas. It is all about inertia, keep your wheels moving forward slowly in the direction you want them to go.

I live in Toronto and I have seen things like this.

Okay, first, winter tyres are not for snow, they are for cold and snow (basically for any condition under 5 °C, or 40 F).

K2THEM has basically got it. The important thing in these situations is to keep moving. As soon as you slow down, that's when the amount of traction (not much) becomes apparent.
