Doesn't look like much on the ground but it was treacherous getting in that day. I just plan my routes on the more popular roads (hoping they are treated already). Get to work or off before the worst of a storm hits and avoid roads with sharp elevation changes, too many bridges or very sharp turns. Many a winter, me and my baby have passed flipped, stranded or stuck big-buck SUVs.
It's how smart the driver is. Cars can't correct stupid.

Yeah staying on main roads is great advice. I was once asked to take a shortcut through a neighborhood that might as well have been an offroad track for my car, and I have the dented intercooler to prove it/ remember it by.

You guys are crazy driving SC in snow........RWD + Snow = Accident waiting to happen...

I use my Toyota tacoma 4x4 as a DD and it is so much fun in winter to go out right after a storm when they havent touched the roads and go anywhere I like

Not sure. I hate salt and I'm already passed $100 in car washes. The roads downtown are fairly good, so If salt is always used, they definitely keep the roads smooth despite how destructive ice and salt are to roads.

And Mint Condition are a great group. Real big back in the day! That's wassup!

Please do man. It will probably be BB Kings again. I'll be there!

I was living that tour life until a few years ago. I ran Pro Tools (and Teleprompter) for the Rolling Stones and many other bands.

Chris is one of the best drummers in the world. Ive got to check out Brandon. I know Stokley likes to get a taste of the kit every now and then. He has some skills as well!

OP: Sorry to hijack! OOps!
