Everytime a statey passes me on the highway he is going well over 80mph with no blue lights. More than likely just cruisin along going about everyday crap but then they pull you over for going 75mph and treat you like a freaking criminal and your going to kill someone driving that fast.

I had a statey say to me once after giving me a ticket for 75mph... "I see your not an organ doner, you should sign up because your going to kill yourself drive like that"

Dude, You have one horrible drive to work everyday! I couldn't imagine driving to the plaza in Wilmington from Holden. Hell I use to go to Tewksbury from Bolton and I hated it. Your almost twice that distance!

goin out to do some drifting in my 600hp 2 wheel drive Turbo'd S10 !!!!!!!!!!

[Half Squid]

Took me two hours to go from Northbridge to Medway which normally takes 20-25 minutes.

I had a freakin 18 wheeler in front of a long line of cars that got stuck going up every hill (3) on Main St in Upton... Must have been a rookie.. Even after he flagged down a plow to clear the path in front of (him/her?)

[mojobreakfast]

Does the state put snow tires on those cruisers?

bahaaa, dude I had a 2wd s-10 in highschool...with a stock 2.5 motor. Going down a flat highway in snow it would go sideways randomly, single worst vehicle in the snow (along with astrovan I had as well) besides a drag car with slicks

*edit* saw your vid, didn't realize you were serious about having a turbo/v8 s10, jesus! just over 3400 pounds and 600hp?

how is this different than any other day when you're behind a prius?

in 3 years of driving trucks I have been stuck a couple of times. each time was in this one specific parking lot in Manchester, NH. problem was I never have much weight in the trailer and the truck had way too much power. Even with the rear axles locked together I would spin both sets trying to move from a stop in 5th gear. eventually I said screw it would just face downhill if there was even just a dusting of snow in that lot.

only time I've ever had a scary moment was last winter going up the Everett Turnpike just north of Nashua. whole road was all black ice. I swear I must have been an inch or two away from the guard rail with the back corner of my trailer and front corner of my truck while jacknifed. normally in that situation you try to accelerate to get in front of the trailer, not this time just more wheel spin. all those donuts I've done over the years in my old Monte Carlo and now my Tacoma have proven invaluable.

1) That's where i totalled my 98 Vette last year!!!!!

and 2), absolutely!!! Funny when people just slam on the brakes when they hit ice

5.7L Ls1 Vette Engine (out of my totalled 98 vette)
T-56 6-speed manual trans
3.73 rear gears in a Ford 8.8" Rear end Limited SLip


W/ the Fatty tires i had on in the summer, it'd spin to 70mph if i rocked it.

Now that i have the stock S10 tires on for winter... it goes no where even when it is dry hahahaha.

[island boyeee]

i had a great drive in this morning on 12-hour old Blizzak LM-60s and my WRX! luckily i can take back roads the 10 miles to work. just had to keep driving around all the boobs spinning tires at every intersection/light

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

[BLACK SQUIRREL]
