Funny thing, though, there was a brand new Denali (black one, very hot looking) that was sliding all over next to me. I'm thinking, "WTF", since I'm moving w/o a problem. I swear, they couldn't have been in 4x4 the way it was sliding (at 20mph no less). I was handling 45mph the whole way (except traffic)...

But ya, we're getting like 5 inches of snow on top of all this ice now, and it's damn ugly outside... Not gonna be a fun commute tomorrow...

He probablly had 24" Rims on it with summer tires.

My friends goes like a champ in the snow. But he has Snow/Mud tires on it for the winter.

My truck handled like a dream in the mess yesterday for the most part. =) 4x4 Yukon, heavy as hell, and I just spent over $3k on all new suspension parts and the LS1 upgrade for the tranny... I'm sure the suspension helped, but the tranny shouldn't have made much of a diff, other than allowing my 4x4 to work.

Re: Motor Cities Chat Thread!

I saw a few 4x4's in the ditch last night. I think it's more the driver than the Vehicle. My Contour went like a champ in the snow. I pulled into work this morning first. Not a single car in the parking lot. There was 3 foot drifts of snow no word of a lie. The only other person that made it into the parking lot was the guy with a 4x4 truck. You gotta love snow tires.
