See what snow does

IMO, a 17 year old should never have that nice of a vehicle. Not because they didnt earn it or anything. It's because they wont appreciate. But hey, that's only my opinion.

He's really upset about all this. He loved that truck.

And hell I'm 16 and I drive a 06 dodge dakota? Does that mean I don't appreciate it?

Guess it's time to goto the junk yard and fine me a 1950 sedan.

to me it looks like he didnt have a lot of experience driving. reason i say this is because he proly went to turn and it slid so im gonna say he turned the wheel all the way and then locked the brakes up which is a no no in snow. sucks though that was a nice vehicle

X10 Brakes don't help once you start to slide on ice. Sounds crazy but the gas pedal helps more than the brakes. Probably wouldn't have happened if he had in 4X4. Oh well live and learn.

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to pull his rims off...

he doesn't have his stock rims/tires anymore.

was thinking the same thing. also about the hitting the gas and not brakes does work in most situations. if the truck is junk just take the rims and tires off and let it sit on the brake drums/rotors and call it a day

Okay, I live in MN and have never had an accident in the snow or ice for that matter. It's not "mother natures" fault people have these problems, it's the idiots behind the wheel. You can't expect to drive the speed limit when there is snow on the roads. I see it all the time. When it snows I take all back highways because I know there are a bunch of dumb asses that think "oh, I have a big truck that's 4wd so I don't have to worry about it. 4wd only helps in a straight line, it does nothing for turning. Slow down and be cautious, save lives, save your ride! BTW, I drive an Expedition with 4wd and and new Goodyears on it and I usually keep it 10mph under the speed limit when it gets bad out.

thats why i dont understand getting a 4x4 and putting like 20's with little tires on defeats the purpose

So your saying my buddy is a idiot? And did I say it was "mother natures" fault? And if you would have read the thread you would have seen he does in fact have a 4x4 but he didn't use it.

We don't get that much snow around here. Big snow like this just happens from time to time. We are usually lucky to get 1-2 inches.

Even yet, you didn't carefully read what I stated. Stay slow when it snows. I have a lot of experience with snow. I grew up with atleast 4ft. Of snow on the ground at all times during the winter, not 2in.
