SRT's and Ice don't mix,

I watched the news this morning and thought that the roads looked okay... boy was I wrong. It took me almost 2 hours to get to work. Next time I'll take the all-wheel drive Jeep Grand.

 

Yeah, not too smart to take the 6 in ANY kind of snowy/icy road. lol. I remember I barely made it up a light inclined hill IN "W" mode when it just had started to lay on the road. I couldn't believe how bad the 6 did. This was with summer tires though so....... :P That was the last time my 6 was a daily driver. lol

 

How do you drive with those little girl feet?
or were you on tip toes?

 

i wondered if you were caught in this!! I40 shutdown for hours, saw 12 wrecks at 3 am going to work. leave the toys at home!!

 

I had to be at work at 7 this morning so I made it down i40 before they shut it down. Everytime it changed gear the rear wanted to jump out on me, and everytime I touched the brakes it wanted to do the same thing. I just took it slow. When I left out I didn't think it would be anything like what it was. I'm not home yet and there appears to be a fresh layer of snow so this should be fun

 

Yep- looking to pick up a used Caliber SRT4 this week. With some mods it'll be trapping higher than my 6. . They are monsterous up top. There are a few running 11's w/ traps around 126! ...not in the ice/snow of course.

 

You're not giving up the 6 are you?!?

 

I took mine to work yesterday (no choice) and it was indeed a hellish ride.

Never got above 30mph on I-24... Leaving the hill on my neighborhood with the 6-speed was a new level of fear, LOL....

 

Daily drive mine every day. My 6 is like the USPS, through rain, sleet, snow, or ice (except hail). Also like the USPS I'm usually late (during the winter) wherever I'm going.

Haven't had any issues yet (*knock on wood*) but I have winter tires on mine as well as some sand in the trunk.

Then again I have a very short commute to work and rarely would get about 35mph anyways even in the summer. Oh well...


I have spring fever so bad. I'm scartching my neck like a crack addict itching for spring... Can't wait. Seriously. Had to take a trip to Houston this weekend just to thaw out, etc.

 

We got 4 inches last Fri and the 6 did better than I expected...now it did take 2hrs to get home from a usual 35min trip. She kicked out a few times.....and going up a slight incline was a no-no....quick turnaround did the trick.

 

Nope! I'll have a 4 and a 6...hopefully. Trying to get one for 17k with no more than 100 miles on it. Dealers are asking WAY too much for them.

 

Agreed

 

Man, they are still going for that high?!?! Wow! Good luck though man. That would be a cool addition!

 

i visited georgia this weekend with the 6. went down this road that was supposed to be a shortcut and was covered in ice. this road had alot of turns, would be a great road for summer driving, as i turn the corner i found a g35 that had been completely turned around and in the ditch. the top of the car wasnt even parallel with the road, thats how deep the ditch was. but i was sure glad that it wasnt me.
