Cars Are Important Too!

Picture yourself, all your gear together, ready to get on the road at 6:00am on the morning of a pow day. When you get a text message from your friend, this dopey stoner who says he is not going to be to your house until 6:30, because he just woke up. You're pissed because outside it's dumping snow. The mountain report said there was 2 feet of fresh powder, and now you won't get first chair and those fresh lines because of your friend.
So you wait....
6:30: your friend isn't here yet.
6:35: seriously contemplating killing him some other time after this season, probably in the summer.
6:40: he finally shows up and throws his shit into your car and you're on your way.

Being 40 minutes late sucks, but if you guys are anything like me on the morning of a pow day you're pushing 55mph in a 30mph zone. Drifting around the corners, and passing people in double lines... Being honest, I do that when I'm on time too.

Hey, it's bound to happen sometime, you crash your car. Flip it, and now you're going to miss the best day of the year, and it's all because of your "friend" was actin a foo.

What is a car that you can easily flip or that you can pull out of the ditch? Pictures or it didn't happen.



tl;dr Post a picture of a car that you can easily get out of a sticky situation in snow.

Or don't wait for your friend and save your car rather than driving like an idiot.

No friends on a pow day...

Drive separately from from your friend so he can pick you up after you flip your car.

The referenced post has been removed.


Ahh DACO-TOG my day is going fine thanks, well... Not really. A friend of mine, who is quite a bit younger than me (I'm 18) was told that he was the father of a child whose mom he doesn't know well at all. He is in a lot of trouble and is going to have problems paying for college, a baby, and probably an apartment because his ass is grass.

How is yours? It seems like you have something on your mind. This is a very accepting website, tell me how you really feel!

DACO-TOGget a job


I am working 4 jobs a year...
-Tourist attraction
-Counselor
-Sign Painter
-Carpenter

Each have their own time of year, so usually it's one or two at a time.

On top of that, I'm going to school, and coping with a serious illness that's with me forever. But hey, thanks for thinking about me!

i'm saying your friend needs to get a job.

you suck because you think you own the road and when you pull that type of shit in a snow storm you're putting yourself and everyone else on the road at risk of serious injury or death. but as long as you get first chair it's justified right?

Didn't say anything about owning the road. It's a common thing for people to drive aggressively to the mountain in the morning.

I mean, we are talking about first chair here!

you can drive like a dingus whenever you want man. just don't do it on slick, busy roads. that's when people get killed. and trust me you don't want that kind of weight on your shoulders.

No, I understand you man. I'm not about that. Whenever I get anxious I really try deep breaths or turning up the music. I can joke about it all I want to but at the end of the day I still rethink things before I go through with them, especially when I'm driving.

Dude relax. Its 40 minutes late its whatever. so you get 40 minutes less of skiing...i'm sure you take 40 minutes worth of breaks anyways. Shit happens. Chill out. When people pass me on the way up to VT on a double yellow that is clearly very very dangerous I always block them out becuas sometimes they swerve last minute and cut you off.

That being said...I take route 22 up to VT. There are many zones where a double pass isn't a big deal

I feel like you're 16 and just got your license because if you've actually gotten into a car crash you'd know that a fender bender has the potential to render a car undriveable. No car on the market would be able to be flipped or probably even go down an embankment and still be safe enough to drive after.

Yeah, if anyone is 16 and hasn't gotten into a car accident its you, because its very possible to drive away from one. In fact out of the few car accidents that have happened in my family, all of them have been able to drive off.

Also it's not the point of this thread. The point is to find cars that can be pulled out easily.

So you seriously think that there is a car on the market that you will be able to drive so recklessly that if you flip it or slide off the road down an embankment (most likely flipping on it's side) you will be able to pull out and continue driving to the mountain?

If so you are delusional

I am delusional?? Look at the post I am quoting! It's a video of what you're saying doesn't exist! If you didn't see that in my first reply then you sir are delusional.

going back to the first response after you made your thread/post . no friends on a powder day.
-nuff said

tell ur buddy that there are no friends on a powder day , and maybe he won't be so late in the future because he knows that your not going to wait for him for like 40 mins. just my two cents.
