    Default I HATE PEOPLE AND SNOW *rant*

    Now, I have a Mistubishi 3000GT. Not exactly the best car for snow, but it is front wheel drive, and I put excellent tires on it, so it handles reasonably well in bad weather.

    I had to drive back to school today, and the weather report said there would be rain, a little flurries later on.

    So I'm driving, there's a little slushy rain, no biggie. I had no problems until I got into campus. It was a solid 4 inches of ice/snow. My car could not handle it. I tried to turn, my car plowed on straight. I managed to stop the car, and with a combination of pumping the breaks and constant gas, I managed to turn the car and get it moving again.

    I'm a half-mile from my apartment, and this guy behind me is giving me a really hard time. He was right on top of me (like bumpers almost touching), beeping at me and such (even though I had my flashers on and I kept waving at him to go around me).

    I get to my complex, and try to turn in but my car slides forward and into the curb, but I managed to at least get the car out of the road/traffic (I maneuvered it well out of the way of the guy behind me, it would have been very simple for him to just drive forward), so I gave up, and put it in park. The guy drives obscenely close to me, SCREAMS at me, and flips me off.

    It really bugged me (and is still bothering me now). I was already near tears, and this jerk is going to hound me because my car was sliding in the snow? It's a miracle he didn't hit me with as close as he was to my car the whole time. My boyfriend says I should have just hit the breaks and let him hit me, and have had him buy me a new car.

    What the heck is wrong with people? OBVIOUSLY he should have seen that the girl in the little sports car was having a tough time. The roads weren't plowed/salted anything, I did my best. Flashers on, going slow...not much I could do.

    Looks like neanderthal man is not extinct after all. You're lucky he didn't try and club you and drag you off to his cave.

    Sounds like he was just an asshole.

    On another note you are safe and that's what is important.

    I'm sorry you hate snow. -_-

    I love snow! Winter is my fave time of year! ^_^

    People like that are why I've avoided driving this long (need to rectify this sadly). He deserves a 2x4 to the head.

    Sorry man, I'm glad you got home safely.

    I've been driving in snow my whole adult life, so it's nothing to me, but if you aren't used to it, it can be very stressful. Impatient, rude, mean people...well, they just suck. Don't waste another moment thinking about that goof and you will feel better soon.

    I say eff that guy, now when I see people getting irate in a situation which obviously does not warrant their douchey reaction, I just laugh at their high blood pressure. He's the guy with something up his butt, let him wallow in his dickishness.

    and if i was him i'd just be jealous that there was a cute girl behind the wheel of that sexy 3000gt and not me lol

    That is just too aggressive. Many places have laws against such aggressive behavior on the road.

    BTW what kind of tires (brand, model)?
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    ^Blizzak WS50. They've served me well before. I was just in hick-ville, where they don't plow/salt, and it was a good sudden 4inches of snow with solid ice under it.

    Blizzak (Bridgestone/Firestone) is a very good premium snow tire, last I knew about it. The ice and very hard-packed snow is a problem for any tire. I suggest calling your Mistubishi service department there and ask for their recommendations, like putting additional weight in the trunk etc.

    I don't know what else you could have done at the time. What I do after such a stupid confrontation is to imagine that person sliding off the road into a ditch and messing up his car just a few yards ahead of me. Now that would give me some good chuckles. LOL

    Aound here they do plow and sand rapidly. They reported this morning that we've already had 100 inches of snow this season; I believe our record is [B]190-some[ inches/B]. So we're well ahead of the average, maybe heading for a record.

    Note:

    Two things: your tires are directional, so they have to be mounted on the correct sides; it would be good to use another set of tires for non-winter driving due to wear.

    ----
    Probably 120 inches as of morning
