hmmm i dont know if any places around here offer winter lessons, that would nice because im going to be a new driver right before winter starts, and im not exactly looking forward to the snow.

 

I used to ski a lot and I noticed that driving in the snow is a lot like driving a dirt bike when you have a RWD car, you oversteer into theskid and lay off the brakes and accelerator.

In a FWD, you understeer unto the skid and accelerate to straighten the car out.

I know I'm a SOCal but I spend many, many months in the Sierra mountain during ski season.[8D]

Welcome to the forums. this thread sounds like a broken record but they are right. maybe be smart about it and ask the rents for your exhaust for christmas

 

Brenden welcome to the MCFs. Lots of great people here.

One thing, we do require you post a picture of your Monte. Don't worry though. The drool we get on our computer screens will not get on your car. Well at least no one's complained about it yet?

Not sure where in MI your city is located? My g/f Debbie is from a small place called Temperence. It's not too far north of Toledo, OH. Like 12 miles or so.

Good luckgetting your driver's license.

 

haha dont worry, "all my friends are dead" is a song by turbonegro. and i dont even know what chipper means so thats why i chose it.

 

lol ive never skiid before or driven a dirt bike.

 

I can get some pictures up once i get the chance to use my friends digital camera, otherwise ill be stuck using my cell phone.
Im located right next to flint MI (also by Goodrich and Davison), which is north of temperance, i think i may have been there before.

 

Welcome Brenden from another Michigan winter driver, as I drive My Intimidator 100mi a day commuting from SW MI to Sturgis 5-6 days a week! I LOVE my tail-draggin' Monte, as I'm an old fart and been driving winters since winters started (seems like). With good all-season tires, the Monte Carlo is THE best winter car I've ever owned, and I've owned a few! Better than the Impala's. Better weight distribution, I think. With the magnesium cross-beam behind the dash, it's one of the safest on the road. also. I've proven that the hard way.
Glad to hear you got a good safe car to start with, just don't get stupid with it. Give yourself lot's of extra braking distance in the winter, as driving in the snow isn't anything more than a controlled slide, most of the time.
Side note: I graduated from Corunna, and my wife from Clio.
