Who drives their G body in the snow

[-83MONTESS-]

I used to drive my Monte in the snow. I remember one time at 7am before school it took me 20 minutes and about 1/4 of a tank of gas (my old beat-to-sh*t 350) to get out of my driveway, when I finally got out of the driveway and on to the road I found out the hard way I had a flat front tire :x So I attempted to turn around in my neighbors driveway. As I was backing out of their driveway my ONE drive tire caught ice in the very middle of the road enough so that I literally couldnt move forward or backward. After finicking around for what seemed like an eternity I finally got free. My neighbor came over later that day and asked if I heard the loud "engine in distress this morning".

Oh and not to mention, drifting into your on street parking spot. Although I did kinda get caught one time in the jeep, I was going to take a little drift trip around a parking lot that had a snake like pass road, as soon as I threww the jeep sideways for the first corner, a cop went by on the road parallel, I quickly straightened the jeep out, exited the lot and waited for the him, lol (I saw brake lights I kenw what for, hahaha). He gave me a warning and sent me on my way, probably was shocked I sat and waited for him :lol: .

Just got my Malibu this summer and I don't have the cash or space to store it, frame is good cause in Alberta we don't use salt, mostly sand and pea gravel, besides, I had bought this car to be a daily driver and a eventual sleeper not a garage or trailer queen.

waiting for him probably got you out of a ticket...he/she knew you knew you were busted but made his/her day easier so they paid you back.

No doubt there, lol, I've been caught doing dumb things a few times, and I've noticed acknowledging my stupidity before the lights come on helps the situation a bit . Years ago, had an officer once thank me for not trying to run after he caught me spinning donuts (not in the winter, lol), ended up with a noise ordinance instead of a fist full of tickets that would have cost me my license, lesson learned on that one....

I can say with three or four normal sandbags in the trunk my Malibu is pretty good in the snow. Obviously not compared to modern cars but still okay.
