WARNING: Buy Snow Chains Before Going On A Snow Trip !

[gunnerxq]

Or get winter tires....

[avaindasa]

pretty creative way to create traction but still fail !!

[cmanmaxwell]

Drive up in reverse with a front wheel drive.

[michaelisbell46]

if the vehicle is 4-wheel drive or has a certain type of tires, snow chains would not really be necessary

[halflife103]

Better tires and have someone who actually knows how to drive in the winter.

That would make it so much easier.

[Organgrinder1010]

Not a bad idea.

[markkelevra]

chains ruin your car, get some good tires and don't be cheap

[punisher9510]

yeah they`ll probably crash and burn oneday.......I hope ?

[Silverblack218]

BUY SOME BETTER TRERS!

[MrCRAZYMEN13]

onde é isto? =P

[Playa1sweet]

thats because i always buy 4x4 cars....

[TheTRJG]

holy, i'm suprised you guys didn't barry it in all that snow

[88pathoffroad]

Let some air out of the tires next time.

[OakyDoky24]

Pretty smart

[bloodykosovare]

Or you can accelerate in first just to get the wheels a little bit moving then you switch in 2nd and then you have less acceleration but way more power

and if you really cant move the car take the mats out of the car and set them on the front of your tires and it have then 100% grip just to move

But

This was really fun hahahahahahahahah

i will try this when it snows again :$

[thrashmetal91]

@bloodykosovare ye put your floor mats on the ground that wont ruin them at all

[bloodykosovare]

@thrashmetal91

whahaha alright so what if you have a car from 100 thousend dollars

and its stuck in snow and you cant move at all and cant be pulled away with a other car

you will rather leave your car alone then ruin some floor mats ?

it even wont have to be a car of 100 thousend but this astra you will rather leave the car then ruin the floor mats

omfg

[thrashmetal91]

@bloodykosovare how far do you thing ur gonna go on mats... there gonna get torn up....ur gonna go 30 feet

and your still stuck in the floor....then if your car is worth 100 thousand (thats how u spell thousand btw) the floor mats to a thousand dollar car are fucked up....and your still stuck in the snow

[bloodykosovare]

@thrashmetal91

omfg you take the floor mats just to make some grip you wont just make 30 feet its just to make grip

but alright that is mine opinion you do it your way i do it my way so i am going to leave this conversation because i dont want to bitch about something little

(and i am soo sorry that i spelled thousend instead of thousand i ain't from america or the united kingdom so i can't spell very good english)

Greetz =)

[robertgift]

Fun!

This is living!

Get the lazy bums OUT of the back.

Hope you didn't damage the hood.

[mmmakeee]

i was just wondering, why u dont drive like ur wheels on the snow, i think tires have more grip on snow than on ice? :D

[speck444]

popopoka

[liveforbiking]

there is a saying a spinning tire will always slip, a rolling tire will always grip.

[ElbowEyE]

This video would be much better if these idiots would pull out hammers and beat the hell out of each other.

[Markcuda]

When I see stupid fuckers like this, I hang my head in shame that there is so many idiots in this world.

[krzyhoo2]

0:11 nein, nein, nigger, nigger

[DanielSilva3]

@krzyhoo2 Siga siga siga siga siga xD

[dabigjokeoftheday]

next time go backwards

[trustman]

Burros na neve...

[ghrpdx]

The key is to not let the tires spin in the first place ... let some air out of the tires and be very gentle on the throttle and you'll get there faster than flooring it and glazing the ice under the tires.

[MustRabbit]

Correction: BUY snowtires before winter!

[nvidia56]

red neck tire chains?

[davidplatenkamp]

Braking a little bit also helps distribute power between the wheels!

[MrNaomeentales]

Tinham de ser Tugas...

[jimP71]

ingenious! but it works!!! good for you guys!!!

[jbm4551]

or get a jeep!

[pippomanca]

the problem isn't to go... but coming back... how do you think to brack eventually? O.o

[CamaRO9923]

Only pussy Europeans yell snow chains every winter. Drove my RWD from CT to VT in mid January with plenty of snow. Had fun drifting and got there perfectly safe with summer tires. All about being smooth and thinking ahead.

[Adragil]

@CamaRO9923 yeah like pussy yankees even know what snow is.

[sparkygl0s]

@CamaRO9923

There are loads of Americans and Europeans using snow chains in winter, especially in the mountains , Rockies and Alps.

[bnsf4]

Now, how the hell do you get down with all the ice on the road?

[907guitaristbikerguy]

tires are everything; you don't need chains.

driving backwards up hills with fwd does help; i've seen it done, and i'm not kidding.

[GTRsannin]

@907guitaristbikerguy you are absolutely right i live in a country that gets a lot of snow every year and it does help to go up a hill backwards in a FWD car i've done it many times even though we have to use snow tires here but it's sometimes just too slippery :)

[aaronlira]

$30 dollar chains from auto zone would solve the problem

[B789c]

by a 4 wheel drive car such as an evo or subaru, ive seen them get through snow on normal tires, no bother to them.

[LollerStormeR]

@B789c true, AWD+traction control rules ;)

[loonmaniac]

I just ripped a huge fart!

[B789c]

@loonmaniac good lad.

[TheDemonStr]

2.42 of my life now madafka

[RyanGs81]

FORD F150 4X4  would solve problem

[lundejonas]

hAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

[3Mudbone1]

I paid for a five minute argument!

[donoesau]

No sudden moves on the acceleratr, brakes or steering wheel and dont try to accelerate ging up hill

[fran9860]

MAY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN VALET PARK YOUR SISTER!

[fran9860]

can one of you guys make me a burrito?

[eck0mist]

É a solução à portuga ahah

[FoxRS]

Ah, campeões! Tinham que ser tugas =D Isso em português chama-se "desenrascanço", que é uma palavra só nossa. Aventuras na serra é que é ;)

[Gamerwillz]

Take it easy with the throttle dude.

[HardTailRyder4Lyfe]

my cavalier would make it :P

[AccessVirus71]

Snow tires or stay at home...

[ginaven1]

lol

[blackyzich]

once your tires start spinnin with chains gl lol

[kaiten123]

Driving in reverse would have helped..

[cg257]

"ITS MOVING!" "GET IN!" LMAO!!! Should have gotten a Subaru...

[i8246i]

@cg257

The make of car won't change basic physics....

[yuskjr]

i8246i is right;

the make of a car will not change how the tires grip, or how well it performs in the snow, only chaining the tires, adding weight, or driving smarter will help snow performance..

*grow up Subaru fanboys, your cars still react the same way under the laws of gravity, friction, & inertia.. put your boners away & learn some basic concepts of physics.

[sisutrucks]

@yuskjr you can put the same tires on different cars and the performan of the cars can vary much in winter conditiones, electronic helpers, weight, balance all have a say in the mather, this is a two wheel drive car, all subarus are four wheel drive and that is a whole other ballgame, but knowing how to drive helps, i have never seen snowchains used on cars, but some have them to make the little difference if needed.

[cg257]

@i8246i So your saying 4 wheel drive wont make a difference?

[i8246i]

@cg257

Yes, 4 wheel drive will magically change your dumbfuck driving habits into rallycar-style driving perfection! Just like if you "drive safe" you don't need safety belts, drinking and driving is okay because you're "more tolerant" of alcohol....

I sure hope some cop pulls you over and takes away your license, because you obviously drive like an IDIOT who is going to get someone KILLED.

[cg257]

@i8246i Okay I don't know what the hell your trying to say but lets get this straight about the Subaru comment. Subaru's are AWD. So with that said I guarantee any vehicle with 4 wheel drive could make it up that hill. PERIOD! So your other gibber gabber about alcohol or whatever is stupid.

[i8246i]

@cg257

Once again, you are an idiot! So why don't you stop listening to Taylor Swift for one second, and realize that when a road becomes THIS BAD, a simple choice in vehicle type, EVEN WITH 4X4, will NOT make it up the hill without something else on the vehicle to help the tires grip!

Extra weight, chains, sand....and then comes the driving habits: using very little throttle, steering into skids, stopping to check on your brakes when you can..

[i8246i]

@i8246i

Where exactly have you driven your precious Subaru anyway? Anywhere more north than Missouri? If not, you lose even more credibility for knowing NOTHING of real winter weather on roads that aren't maintained by any major DoT. This isn't a few inches of snow on top of some black ice..its not even "country roads" in the backwater areas of the US...this is a heavily covered rual road in another country that experiences MAJOR winter weather.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes there in a subaru

[sisutrucks]

@i8246i cant make your comment fit to the video, but what other video could you have commentet on for it to show here. this looks like beeing shot in portugal, if that issnt a qlue about your last statement i dont know. in the video the road is barely cowered with slush, its an overstatement to call it snow. it could have been a bit slick ok, but decent tires and smart driving had been enought. as for subarus, they are all four wheel drive cars and that such an huge improvement in snow.

[zigeunerjack]

quite "unexperienced" driving but a funny video!

[ICEInterphace]

apperintly no experiance with snow driving more gas no grip if u gas litle u will get forward with no problem......

[Totenhosen17]

Some people just dont know how to drive... I was pulling out of the pizza hut parking lot, and this guy, he comes halfway down the hill, stops, puts it in reverse and just guns it, bouncing off the rev limiter and everything... i hate people. :P

[MrChiel78]

Dude, if you would be easier on the pedal the

tires would have much more grip. With that amount of acceleration you just keep on spinning.

[emgpickups1990]

I put snow and mud tires on my camry for winter. just a few days ago I went up a snowy hill on the way to work from my farm that a 4X4 blazer was stuck at the bottom of. Its my lil FWD tank ^.^

[bearwoodbrown]

i parked my car at a petro station in Perth they had about 8 to 10 inches of snow , i had big signs on my car, snow chains for sale i was there for at least 2 hrs and not one person even asked how much, at the time i would have sold for about 50 quid

[bearwoodbrown]

i just returned from scotland ,i had fifty sets of snow chains to sell, how many people bought them? 1

i was at glencoe on saturday after the first snow dump

and no one wanted to know

[mrwashur1991]

or you could get an awd or 4x4 instead of fwd if your going on a *snow* trip..

[redmond12400]

IDIOTS

[magicquartz]

Well, at least they learned from their mistake.

[nair0bij0nes]

what, you expect em to sleep in the car and freeze to death ?

[magicquartz]

Hmmm, makes me happy to have all season tires on my SUV. Too bad they don't build sedans like SUV's. Giving them the same kind of traction control.

[ColinNekritz]

Never heard of Subaru? Audi? VWs with 4Motion, some BMWs and Mercedes? If you want a station wagon, as that's all they are, buy a station wagon, if you want a van, get a van, even a minivan is better than an SUV. An SUV is for pricks with small dicks.

[magicquartz]

Meh, to each their own. You speak of high priced vehicles... Which have all tanked in the Consumer reports ratings. Me? Well, mine rated third best, and better than average in the ratings for dependability. Ever check out Hyundai? Yes, they're underdogs but they're comming back.

[jokreker]

gandas malucos!!!!

[TugaAzeiteiro]

loool Tugas! Ah grandas malukos! ;)

[Jank143]

ha nice video!

[xllxAndrewxllx]

you can only use chains on the deeper snow onece you hit any pavmet or gravel they will break

[blazerboy2011]

@xllxAndrewxllx no the tire chains wilnt break it will damage the road

[mrledlights]

you guys are awesome LOL

[ASroma90]

kurwa

[hasnfefer]

winter tire + easy leg on throtlle pedal = No problems on snow

[langtidsminne]

@hasnfefer

Yes, isn't it mandatory with winter tires?

It is in norway

[hasnfefer]

Don't know! In some states it is possible to have new sommer tires! But, winters has much more grip! They even don't go on some serious hill! At my place they wouldn't go 1 cm on this tires!

[radja999]

@hasnfefer

4WD + winter tires + full throtlle :)

[hasnfefer]

@radja999 nice, but I'm allways saying. 4WD will pull great on snow, but when you need to stop car everything is diferend :-)

[JynQQy]

dont put full thorttle, lol

[HelloHansSolo]

Holy fuck learn how to drive, you don't need chains on this shit, probably not even snow tires if you don't care about stopping quickly.

[xmandingomedicx]

1. really you guys should have known better.

2. It was nice watching the video and knowing everything you were saying the commentary was my highlight here.

[DrC20NE]

wtf? you aren't very smart! Just step carefully on gas pedal!

[mathieuemi666]

er.... snow tires / Winter Reifen??

RULES:

1. Do you really need to go there?

again:

Do you really need to go there?

2. find an alternate route if possible (take the train!)

3. get (not too aged) tires appropriate for winter

4. be soft on the gas pedal

5. put weight in the boot (at the rear of the car) => rear wheel drive (empty it with front wheel drive car)

6. if needed, use snow chains

[dahuz795]

7. don't use first gear, rather second or even third if your car can take it - the higher the gear, the higher the traction

[mathieuemi666]

oh yes. And when you're rolling, don't drive too fast (max. 50 km/h, especially with snow chains)

[iqlayser]

Try the Reverse next time.... safer and better grip uphill in reverse when driving a frontwheel-drive

[lmerfu]

Learn how to drive on the snow, geez!

[DeafLouder]

força tugas. xD

[ABBCCC86]

They have a cool language!!

[SalazarReis]

Mesmo ao estilo tuga ! eheheh

[freakyflow]

south dakota gets good storms but head up to manitoba ..there are no cvics driving around there and the stores there have plug - ins for your block heaters cause you leave your car off for a hour and it doesn't start till spring lol

[freakyflow]

Upgreade like that ..stop and think ,,Use the car backwards up the hill Its Front wheel drive all the weight is at the engine Here is canada we laugh at people without snow tires or know how to move in -50 storms

[xox945]

you need fatter friends

[Voiding]

Snows in North of Portugal, in the mountains.

[donotstab]

wow...i would rather be stuck in snow then kill somone in a car crash trying to drive in snow

[yaskulka]

what language they speak, anyone?

[Ytuberx1]

They are speaking Portuguese

[yaskulka]

Thank you

[gangsta647]

ride a bike.....there's your solution

[benf1991]

where were you where this happens.... i didnt think it snowed in portugal...

[Neutron939]

If you start spinning like that it means you are applying too much force to the wheels so you lose traction. You should be very easy on the clutch, and a good trick is to put the car into second gear before going because it makes it a lot easier to control the amount of force you apply. Flooring the pedal is never a good idea, because you lose all traction, and sometimes your car can even slide backwards if you do it trying to go up a hill.

And most important of all: Use winter tires on snow.

[trex250]

The easiest thing to do is let some air out of your tires. This will increase the footprint of your tires and make them less slippery. Never ever spin your tires for you create heat within them and therefor making them more slippery. The key is to go slow and easy on the gas.

[FliiiAfghani]

i never knew that thanks for the tip man.

[aman2live4]

yah u r right, once u loose traction ur done. try to stay easy on the gas and dont spin. and another thing is that these ppl in the vid are staying on the ice, they should go on one side of the tracks or the other and get in the snow for more traction.

[trex250]

"they should go on one side of the tracks or the other and get in the snow for more traction." Very good advice I forgot about mentioning that!

[snakesonaplane2]

@trex250 you're right about not spinning, wrong on under inflating, that'll make the tires wider and easier to float over the snow for less traction, you want to inflate them to max for a thinner contact patch so they dig through the snow to the pavement for grip, i know because i slid thru intersections with 35psi in my tires last winter, went to 45psi and it made it easier to stop

[trex250]

@snakesonaplane2 If you let the air out the tire you will distribute the weight of the car over a larger surface and therefore get better grip on the snow. More PSI in the tire only decreases the footprint and makes for a slipper tire. I lived in Iceland and we are the masters when it comes to driving on snow. Have a look at Top Gear the North Pole special decreasing the tire pressure is the trick of the trade.

[snakesonaplane2]

@trex250 if you're driving on solid ice or thick snow where you want to drive on the top of it then yes deflate the tires somewhat, but for city driving you want skinnier tires with higher pressure to dig through the snow to grab pavement for traction, had some 14x6 wheels for my old Geo Metro that didn't do too well in snow at all, switched to 13x5's and they did a lot better, and more so with max psi in them because they just cut through the snow and didn't glide on the top

[TheSaltySea]

@trex250 spinning your wheels makes them slippery, that's why dragcars do it.

[mflyons83]

@TheSaltySea No, drag cars do it to heat up there tires making them gummy and want to stick to the pavement so they get a good grip for launch.

[MrManic52001]

@TheSaltySea yeah, your wrong............... soooooo very wrong.

[TheSaltySea]

@MrManic52001 clearly sarcasm.

[MrManic52001]

@TheSaltySea need to be clearer, or learn to use sarcasm.

[ieatsuperglue]

Ok, 1 drop the car in low range. (D1) or if it's manual, leave it in 1st gear. Use less gas. 2 when you get grip, don't stop, and let people in.

[fabkka]

ta fixe :D

[inkey2]

I live in Massachusetts so I am very used to snow driving. A good set of new tires with a "M & S" (mud & snow) classification should do the trick. The only good thing I can say about my big old American car (1993 Olds Cutlass) is that I have a big, heavy, cast iron V-6 sitting over my front wheel drive. It digs into the snow well. This is the one reason I have never bought a newer small car.

[skatamasta]

you were hittin the gas too much coming up the hill

[ForgedInStone]

You're giving it too much gas, just release the clutch half way with no gas. If the tires don't grip then, you have summer tires.

If that is so, REV IT TO THE MAX! :O

[pojo205]

Lol, or you can just look at your tires. If it doesn't have M + S then it's summer tires.

[pedrojoper]

"Vai, Vai! Anda! Siga!" lol!

[michadergrosse]

Get good winter tires and the problem is solved;-) cool action^^ (And the gentleman on the front don't catch a cold!) *lol* ;-)

[basjuhhh30]

where was this??

[pedrojoper]

In the end it clearly shows "Serra da Estrela, Portugal". Now grab a map!

[cerwinvegafan]

you should have emptied some air out of your tires

[ESP1EMG]

yep..add weight or release some air.

[apascottevil]

i dunno i think geting lost/stuck in death valley cali. would be worse.

[hotie22boy]

the place looks like a scary place to be at, no houses, no other people but u only. Imagine, if u got a flat tire, u would have been stuck there in the snow. It reminds me of those horror movies. lol

[scfitch]

lol you must a city boy.. this is just the great outdoors. =P im from colorado. nothing scary about a unpopulated forest.. they are far better then citys

[strop001]

dude you laugh like a girl.

[yeppyea]

amaya379 if you don't stfu i'll personally bang your mom's ass so stop your silly b.s.

[Bacatoja]

Yeah:| I have better solution, you can start from second gear

[michaelovitch]

very cool!

[JorgeLopoTuna]

grandes malucos!! muito divertido!

só acontece em portugal lol

[deezledom]

Get a subaru i swear to god

[0oxoox0oxoo]

u no howu guys say it isnt a easy task in the middle that is because it is a crappy car FYI

0.o

[ChevRcr454]

lol this is why us americans love our trucks. 4x4 FTW.

[SleepWarz]

To bad 4x4's SUCK ASS IN THE SNOW.

[ChevRcr454]

how so?

unless the frame gets hung up they're great in snow

[Chapstick050]

wtf are you talkin about?

4x4s have better traction in any conditons retard

hmm lets compare

2 tires spinning vs 4 tires spinning

i wonder which has more traction?

[donoesau]

If you lose it with a 4 wd you are kikely to do a brodie or two before you can regain control Ihad a 4 wd chevy pickup that I drove in Alaska for 25 yrs and I know from experiance as Idid my share of brodies and usualy wound up in the ditch facing the opposite direction.I also drove a motor route in Eagle River valley with a 4wd Jeep Cherokee and got stuck often so I carried a shovel and a bucket of gravel

[audis4mister]

are you retarded

[DJEvergreen]

In Canada we have these things called winter tires.

[Buffik2000]

We in Russia too.

[thecrippler12]

I wnet in france last week and they actually didn't seemed to know what is winter tire too

[33bluefish]

been there

[667mjx]

Tinham que ser tugas!

O espírito tuga do desencarrascanço está em todo o lado.

[OCquattro]

Where was this? I'm going to Davos and Livigno in the Alps in Jan/Feb in a 740i. Will it be okay with just snow chains, or would snow tyres be a good idea?
