Avoid slush

My traction control was kicking in when I was accelerating anything more than gentle from a stop, so I bit the bullet and got em done that afternoon. We had snow coming down for a couple weeks right after that so I really didnt want to risk shopping around and losing these two i found

two winter tires i mean

Yeah its always worth it to just get em on

As many as you can at least lol

man i remember one of the winters here the roads were nothing but ice rinks

I got myself a set of rims from a wrecker and pit my winters on em so I dont have to pay for the switch

literally skating with your car

Any kind of acceleration is a slip probably lol

I planned on doing that but also consider the likelihood that this van dies this winter anyways

Don't drive rear wheel drive in the winter if you can avoid it

my current vehicle is all wheel drive, thank god

Or at the very least dies before next winter. I'll burn up these tires next summer just because of my lack of confidence it'll last another year

I'm looking into an awd ford taurus next

And is good. They are a little more on gas tho since its always on

Awd

cheap parts, reliable everything, and plenty of police bull bars as cheap deer catchers

Gotta watch for them dummies lol

They will literally wait until you get to them and then bounce right infront of your car

And never say YOU hit the deer

The deer hit you

Oh absolutely

Its like they assume you ran the deer down if you say you hit it

For all the city driving I was talking about with mike before, I spend a lot of time driving country roads and woods roads come hunting season and ice fishing, know exactly what you mean

Ah thats a good man. Keep the spirit alive with some wild adventure

Been meaning to look into whether my insurance has an animal addition to the policy, but my current wheels aren't evem worth full coverage lol

Lol it is if its brand spanking new maybe

As long as your obeying the road law you should be fine

Or even if I got a newer taurus like I'm looking at. Ballpark 7k I'm looking at spending so Full coverage, hail, and animal hit protection(if they have it) are what I'm looking at

And uninsured motorist coverage. As politically and racially charged as it may sound, there are a lot of uninsured/unlicensed Somali drivers I've heard horror stories about in MN

Yeah bro in a country of 333 million there are gonna be people like that

We have a very large number of Somalis here because of the Lutheran churches I believe. Coming in as refugees with the church's assistance though the process

People gotta realize they ARE from another country and might just not understand ooooor where they come from its easy to get away with so they do it there or wherever you live

And it's dirt easy to do, just buy a cheap car for cash, and drive it till you hit something. Either drive away or abandon the car and run away if you can't

Like there were no Mexicans where I live. Now there is and they love chatting up women and cat calling and from what I see the girls like it lol

They love women lol

Lol I watched a dude fly off the road and roll 3 times so we got out to go help and the guy just crawled out and ran

He was gone in 5 seconds flat

My old man is a tow truck dispatcher, so that's not an uncommon story to him

It looked like a cat was in a box and it fell off a shelf and it just booked it lol

Someone hits a car, stoplight, street sign, you name it. Bystander just say, "Yeah, he/she just got out, grabbed their bag/kid/whatever from the backseat and started walking that way"
