My Q45 kicks ass in the snow!

Bullshens.

i guess when i sold it, i lost my understanding of basic physics and ability to drive in the snow.

Furthermore, CO has been goin on 7+ weeks of straight snow on the roads. And you're telling me I don't know.

if you think AWD, or a particular car model, has anything to do with coming to a stop on a slippery road, you DON'T know. some of the worst drivers i've ever seen were in Erie, PA, and that place gets hammered with snow. being around snow alot and having common sense are two different things.

Okay, as far as I can tell, this hasn't actually gotten totally out of control yet. Still, I don't see any redeeming value to the thread, so I'm closing it.

(Mr. Pockets, thanks for closing this non-sense. I needed to add this so EVERYONE can see that enough is enough)


I am not taking sides on ANY of this. It takes one to insult, another to keep it going..... Then going and going and going.
The point of the thread is now LOST and now its all about name calling, insults, baiting, threats, and retaliation. The rest of the members here DON'T CARE! This is the SVX World Network, not Internet reality TV... forum style.

Other non-involved parties are here to collaborate and share information to better the overall experience of owning an SVX. Take the punk attitudes elsewhere, I am sure there are some street racing forums out there that would love to fan the flames. I no longer care who started it, who said what, who is touching whom, and who's got whomelses (nice word) toys. The "stars and thars" games are over and I have pulled the car to the side of the road. There are TWO options from here. DROP IT and keep it to email and other PRIVATE forms of verbal bashing, or GET OUT! When this much ruckus comes about I have flashbacks of another banned member that only caused me headaches and drove other members away. I tell you the TRUTH, that as much as I love Aredubjay, if he was causing this much of an issue here the rules would still apply to him. If the moderators and officers said "Ban" then Aredubjay would be gone. The next step for all involved here is ban.

This being said, I will publicly note that I think that you all bring something good to the community and I would like nothing more than to keep it that way. You all have the option to mute posts from others involved and just ignore the situation. None of you have anything you need to prove to me or to any of the other members here. If it is that important, meet somewhere... call each other on the phone, but do not disturb the community that I have worked so hard to maintain and spent many dollars for upkeep. I assure you that if I did not spend all my extra change here and there running this place, I would have a much nicer, faster, and cleaner looking race car. (I would also not have had to take the last two years of NHRA points racing off.)

This is not open for debate. If you don't like the rules, you can complain about it to me and the officers in PMs. I am locking this tread and the others like it. The discussion is closed with the overall ruling that:

1. Accidents happen, even to good drivers
2. Some SVXs might be better or worse in the snow than other vehicles
3. AWD does not effect the handling characteristics when it comes to braking. (unless a drop anchor is used)
