I live in Boston MA too, it has been crazy for FEB, snow storm every weekend. Can't wait until to get my NISMO out on the road again! :driving:

My translator broke, but I managed to figure it out.

Driving in snow was when of the reasons I gave up on living in Vermont and moved to Florida. Don't have to deal with it anymore, so now I just get to sit back and watch other people complain about it.

I got 99 problems but driving in snow ain't one.

One of my winter cars. Well, it sucks in the winter actually.
And I hate to have to do it, but we drive our SRT Grand Cherokee in all the salt/sand crap here in NC. It'll need an undercarriage detail.

Just drove by a crashed black 370 on rt 15 near Thurmont this morning... poor bastard. The roads are pretty bad, but nothing my Cherokee can't handle. No way would I have my NISMO out in this $h*t.:shakes head:

I wanted this thread to go away but it continues so I will too, I saw a Bronco off the side of the road after I got home from the gym and that made me make a few phone calls to my local recyclers of cars aka junk yards as I love these grave sites for stuff that they would have for Z's and not one had a single Z
(called 5, 3 in CT and 2 in MA)
Are there any junk yards in Thurmont ?....I would love to call them and gets spare parts (possibly seats , intakes etc) at 1/2 trhe cost...:driving:

Chaz'z U-pull-it out on 140 is the closest one I know of. I've gotten a lot of stuff from there for my Jeep and the Mustang I just put together for my sister.

I think the big problem for 4WD (I saw a few big bad trucks beached in ditches too) is overconfidence. For RWD it's a matter of not having the right car for the conditions.

Tires are the most important feature of having traction or not.

I just wish in the first video I posted they had tried all seasons out as well for a complete view but we all know they aren't far behind the summer tires for winter performance which is why I posted the second video.

Its just a car, go drive it.
