I just didn't understand and was kind of hoping for an explanation so I could get the joke also. I'm kind of slow sometimes when it comes to humor.

 

Thanks captain for info on tires. I checked the tires out you mentioned today I probly will get them too. the tire rep said to absolutely mount 4 tires not just two. The blizzards are great but cost about $135 ea. The goodyear snows about $140 ea.{this is State patrol tire they use} About $125 for true snow model. The B F G tiretraction t/a about $102 [not a true winter tire but good all season] The michilin artic alpine about $134 ea. The ones you had came in at $82 ea. and I feel a good buy . Anybody else got feelings on winter tires????? I just looked at my firehawks and they are definately not a tire to run in northern climates. They have no sipes to channel mud ,SNOW, or heavy rain away from center of tire. Pretty serious for us northern boys. I lived in texas for 2 years while in the army,,,BOY do I miss the easy winters down there,,,,just not the damn tornadoes

 

You guys for me worried about getting winter tires. I have never done that before. The car is front wheel drive. Just drive slow like the turtle. After all he always beats the Rabbit. It's a bit different in the NY Metro area. Soon as it slows down/stops Mr. Plow is everywhere. Afterall all it cost NYC 1 million dollars each inch of snow to clean throught the city.

 

We've gotten over 24 inches of snow since Saturday. HHR does just fine.
Have to watch your speed, but I don't plan on getting snow tires. Car has front wheel drive and its easy to pass rear driven cars on one way streets etc. Car seems to high center a little on some bad snow clumps, but overall its doing just fine. The HHR has a small wheel base, so that might be an issue, but so far really satisfied.

 

MrBcruzn thanks for the info. Now I feel a bit more confident

 

Now I know how the car moves in the snow. Low Transaction loves to come on. I got my first snow storm sunday and i should have another one tomm

 

I'm suppose to get a storm here in a few days so I can't wait to see the low traction light start strobing.

 

Where are you from Adam?

 

god i'm starting to hate this stupid weather....

ugh,,, I just crashed my SUV Infiniti QX4 2001 this monring,,, i hit a patch of ice on the highway and the back just went on me, I hit the concreate divider and then i hit the metal guard, thank god i didn't end up in the river...


Now time to take it in the ass by the insurance... In Canada young people get screwd by insurance.... man what a ****ty ****ty day......

 

I don't know how Canadian insurance is but I was paying nearly $5000 a year for my Mustang after my age reduction. I think insurance companies just suck. When I transfered over to my HHR Allstate tried raising my insurance another $3000. I switched to Geico and saved alot on my insurance. I pay about $1200 a year now. They saved me nearly $7000 a year. I couldn't believe that Allstate tried raising my insurance because I switched from a sports car to a four door wagon.
