So here in Columbus we got some snow last night, i don't know how much for sure. We'll in the morning the idiots on 270 would only go 40 mph when there was nothing on the road, not even slush. That really kinda ticked me off. I don't get how people who have these front wheel drive, and 4X4's think if there is snow on the side of the road, you need to drive slow, even if there isn't snow on the road.
Now later in hte day the roads did start to get a little slippery. I had blue jackets tickets, and had to drive in it again. We'll my Mom through a fit that I was going to drive my 2 wheel drive truck in the horrible weather. (which is odd sense she is from northern ohio where they actualy get snow,) She bitched and moaned untill i agreed to take my dad's taurus wagon. GOD WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS.
I know that people claim front wheel drive is better in the snow, but let me tell you what, I will take my rear drive no anti-lock break, no weight on the rear, 86 ranger over a Taurus in the snow any day. I would come up to a turn, and the Taurus would just slid side ways. In my truck i can hit the gas and drag the rear end into the turn, where as the Taurus the rear end just felt like it was gone, none existent. Apparently i don't know how to drive a car with anti-lock breaks, (this taurus is one of only 2 i have ever driven with anti-lock).
SO am I alone out there. Is there anyone else out there who hates front wheel drive and Anti-lock breaks in the snow?
And yes i know i am weird.
