I am a ski instructor person at stevens, so I go up every weekend of the season and on weeknights . I have been almost hit by about 3 people.. very scary. make very SMOOTH slow movements on the icy snowy stuff. I use as wide of tires and as big as possible in the snow (I 4wheel on weekends in the snow) but it depends on what you are driving on I guess.. I am coming from experience in the 4ft deep drifts that go over my truck's hood . and also, the clearish=black parts of the road that are shiny whereas eveyrhting else is white, are usually ice parts. not dry pavement.. and look out for people that have just chained up and are merging.. they don't like to look for oncoming cars.. for experience, go to parking lots etc.. when i wanted to get good, I tried to keep the car going straight while spinning all the tires with the gas (its fun too), and things like that, such as doughnuts and powerslides . also, dont try this stuff when you are on the main road and there are kids on sleds ... and other cars, and snowmachines.. .. hehehe.. watch out for speed bumps too. oh. and if you are going to crash, try to line up the car with the best possible colision course .. ive been there.. well close my truggy :-p. hopefully mine tomorrow!!!!!!

before i let a shop touch my car I go through and watch them work, then see who is working, and I ask them exactly what they will do etc.. most shops are full of idiots. I pretty much do everything for work on my cars. things like rebuilding trannies and what not I leave to the shops.

hey im looking at getting an impreza wagon or another wagon that is somewhat capable offroad. i am looking to spend around 6-7k, just looking for something reliable and nice, and 5spd. I would like to lift it a few inches, with some larger tires that would mostly take me through snow and some old trails in the mountains to go hiking. if anyone has a car they would like to sell or any input on what i should get i would realy appreciate it! thank you! chris (i am going from driving this:)
