Read your quote. All seasons are what you were referencing when you used "excel."

School yourself.

In comparison to itself, all season tires suck the most in snow. Hopefully that makes it easier for you to understand. Dumbass

Do you know how tall 24" of snow is? About the top of your wheel wells. I must see video of your car stopping and starting up a hill in snow anywhere near this deep. You'd be high centered long before that.

Drove home last night during the height of the storm with 4 summers still on. Was amazed at how well the AWD compensated. Needless to say, my winters WILL be going on next week after Xmas...

I'll tell you guys this much. As good as graspics are on many varieties of Subarus, they suck on a ford Fusion with 1 wheel drive. When I got home and got in the Wrangler (with snows, of course) I had so much more comparative grip and control that I drove over my garage, then drove over my house, then climbed up an oak tree and drove over the canopy of trees down to the end of the driveway, then drove over my neighbor's house and finally got my mail and drove back up the driveway.

Some areas got around 8". I was referencing the prior statement of 1.5-2 FEET of snow. Which shows the poster definitely has a flair for the dramatic. I'd be afraid to ask him how big is johnson is...

Yes, obviously the problem is the tires.

I drove home from work yesterday in the height of the storm at 6pm and cruised down 495 at 25 mph. I believe that my Champiro Winterpros on 16" steelies helped get me home safer, but I think that it really was that I went slow, used my signals, and didn't brake or accelerate hard. It's nice to have the extra grip of snow tires, but driving like an asshat will still land you in the ditch like the 4 vehicles I saw stuck between Bellingham and Wrentham... that passed me in Milford going twice my speed.

WHOA WHOA WHOA! I am definitely calling shenanigans here.

Why is your mailbox past your neighbor's house?

Strange plot plan. 69 feet of street frontage. Our land then has cutouts for neighbors to the left and right of us....we own all in back. Here's what the end of the driveway looks like. To the left is the mailbox.....and the neighbor's house just over the stone wall.



It's an old picture. The LGT is long gone, but I still own that ice scraper/brush and the graspics on the LGT are now on the Fusion.

Let's see, first snow fall we got 9.5 inches. Second snow fall we got the about 8 inches. 8+9.5 is 17.5. 1.5 feet = 18 inches.

So I did exaggerate. My low end estimate was off the true number by 2.8%.

Damn I'm good.

And my Johnson is sized well enough to please your mom daily. Ask her, although based on the way she moans.... She will probably give you a dramatically enlarged #. Most definitely greater than 2.8%

The G spot on your average female is located, approximately, within the first 3" of the vagina. Saying you're "big enough to satisfy" someone's mother isn't all that impressive....

To piggyback onto this fact, the average love tunnel is only 4" long.

It's amazing how fast the tables have turned... It seems like only days ago that you were yelling and screaming at certain folks for barely insulting you at all. Here you are making fun of someone's mother.

Welcome to the dark side. You ever sell that Getzen, getzen?
