anyone ever heard of road salt???? problem could have been solved in no time

[ak96]

we dont use it up here, thank god...no rust. plus we have a dirt driveway so if you did that it would be a muddy mess. also salt doesnt work well below 20F which is stays much below that most of winter.

sand bags in the trunk of a front wheel drive car doesnt help at all, it actuly hurts your traction.

also i had put down about 200lbs of sand on the driveway before the filming.

yeah, the car was NEVER floored, and i was in second every time going forword..these things have such a hard gas pedal and it had blad summer tires and the driveway was like a hot mopped icerink. allthough i had put gravel out it didnt help.

giving it any gas made it spin, and after starting on high idle just putting it in gear it would spin with no gas given.

A good trick with icy hills and front wheel drive, is to try and back up them...the weight transfers onto the rear set of wheels going up a hill

that does not look like any reliant I have ever seen

@justinlynch3

One wheel peel. LoL

[macosxpanther]

blizzaks anyone?\

[justinlynch3]

@folta1 It's a older car, keeping one tire on the snow probably won't help. I doubt it has limited slip, positive traction, or anything else. All it would do is spin with the tire that's on the ice, not with the tire that's getting traction on the snow.

Dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my guess.

@ak96 well you could of drove a jeep too. and throw ashes down for traction.

Road salt is useless below -1c it doesnt work believe me i have tried , even more useless on hard packed snow. This guy is cleary just mucking about though doesnt help that he is driving a front FWD with an Auto box.

[KLewisChef]

you can push him? LMAO

Should of had a snowmobile to tow you up that damn icy hill. And, for the car industries, try to get tires on ALL veihcles that can be used all the time and specially for WINTER!! All season tires that can "chew" their way through ice, and for rain there will be no more hydroplaning. And, for the exteriors of cars, trucks, ect. make rust resistant body parts. It dose sound far fetch but whoever knew that what we have today was ever possible??

[TheNineveh]

must have snow tires though

[smokum0]

There's your problem right there...... it's a Plymouth Reliant!!!
