Calling John Bloom (again)
John's not on vacation. In fact, he pops in and looks at the board from time to time. I got an e-mail from him recently explaining why I haven't got my bumpers in ten (10) plus months. It's the first piece of truth, but I still don't have my bumpers.

Driving tips for deep snow?
northguy replied to Urban Coyote's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhen going uphill, more gas does not mean better traction. In effect, sloweris better. When you spin tires in snow, pressure and heat change snow to ice (in a hurry), Then you're screwed. Tis better to try to maintain traction and creep up a hill than floor it. If that doesn't work, get back and get a hell of a run at it and aim for the sides of the road where there may be more gravel/ softer surface underneath. Going downhill, feather the brakes. Do not lock them up. You lose control of your steering when you lock up the brakes and go into a skid. The anti-lock brakes will allow you to continue to steer, but won't stop you on a hill. Look ahead and plan where you'll end up at the bottom. It's better to go into a snowbank with the back end than the front end.

northguy replied to Urban Coyote's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI use chains on my plow truck, even though I run studded snows on it. They are the best for traction, bar none.

Driving tips for deep snow?
northguy replied to Urban Coyote's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX12' of wet snow is about the max. I stopped buying Hak studded snows and switched to Coopers because the Haks spit the studs too easily. Unstudded, they hold great on ice. My wife recently bought some Hankook's for her new outback. Let's see how they do. (Once we get snow. Can you say global warming?)

My wagon lives!
So, are you coming up this way this weekend? Picking up the Brat window? Going to look at John's car? Hell, you might as well move here for as much as you've got going on here. We could always use another SKA member nearby.

traded my pistol for a hatch!
What kind of pistol was it?Brian - I need guns. Moose don't fall over dead when you want them to. Neither do caribou and bears.

Only if it were during caribou season.

Allied Armament Christmas Group buy Notification
Interested in an adapter (EJ to EA) plate and a lift for the XT6. Maybe a skid plate for the Brat. Of course, all depends on costs. Got pics available of the skid plate?
