Black ice sucks, no matter what car you have or what tires you are riding on. Ice is Ice. It took me 2 hours to get into the ES because the doors were frozen shut. When i started it, the steering wheel would not turn because the wheels were so frozen to the ground as was everything else. IT was freaking colldddddddd and everything was frozen.

Along with the temp dropping so fast it also rained 2 hours before it even snowed... And on Dearborn/Detroit roads the GS couldn't stay straight

OH I KNOW! It's problem after problem but for some reason my dad wants to keep it.. Not worth sellin, not worth fixin, but we can't afford a car. If things get worse I might have to sell the GS

Not sure how the new Range Rovers are, but my old '04 RR was a POS! Loved the car though.

Yeah the East side got hit pretty hard with the flash freezing and snow. I went back home to GR in the West side for a couple of days and we only got the freezing and just wind. It's actually been sunny the past couple days, weather still in the teens however, but the sunlight radiation was enough to melt almost all of the snow that fell.

Do you guys leave your car home when it snow? I know RWD sucks when it snows. Or drive another FWD when it snow?

learn to drive and it will be ok. under bad/severe conditions FWD/AWD will be best, but nothing can help you from stupidity. Like i tell everyone, learn to drive.
