So you are telling me when people get into accidents its because they are morons? What kind of a driver do you think you are? People get into situations like these because there is less margin of error when manuvering through traffic and driving in general through the winter with snow on the ground! It doesnt matter what you drive (M or SUV), but understand in hazardous winter conditions or even hard rain, chances of wrapping around the pole are much higher! My god this is just an accident on the driver's part, and I am amazed at your explaination! Quote:
We already have members who have reported how bad there experience with the Ms have been in the winter! On the contrary some still drive them! FYI I have had enough experience, driving sports cars in the winter. The Maserati GT The Continental GT The SL600 The E46 M3 Vert The E92 M3 Out of all these cars the bentley CGT outperformed everything, because of AWD (as you mentioned earlier)! So stop assuming I am not speaking from experience! I respect your opinion but dont jump to conclusions if someone doesnt agree with you! Last edited by M3 vert; 12-12-2009 at 07:05 PM.. |

We have enough i-diots out in snow here is Seattle to not to drive period.... Forget taking the M out. ....Plus, I am a detail freak who likes to keep undercarriage cleaner than the paint above :-)

And another one, lambo LP640 Spyder from the Gardiner Expressway.
This owner is from my area. He had a black one earlier, he got this recently...after crashing it |

Here we are all cleaned up with the mud flaps gone.
Somehow we survived the snow, ice and wild SUVs with 4-season tires. I don't really think that my compatriots in Colorado drive better in winter than Canadians, but who knows for certain? Dave

For some clarification about the Scud, I found the thread the guy started over at 6Speed:

I still haven't seen any evidence of snow and ice conditions being worse in Toronto than Colorado. Our first snow over a foot was several weeks ago. It actually snowed, but didn't stick, on the last day of summer, leading me to put my winter tires on by the first of October. The big difference is that we get nice weather in between winter storms. Let's not lose track of the thread. Maybe Mr. Vert could screw up his nerve and back his car out of the garage as send us a picture of how terribly scary it is there. That might drum up some simpathy. Dave

Everytime you say that
But Dave lets agree to disagree...you make some valid points but that doesnt change my opinion or infact the others either. We think M's should be garage queens in the winter for many reasons, and you dont! Some people drive Scuds in the snow and some people drive F355s in the snow....the outcomes are infront of you.

He could have been on winters too and this kind of shit is more likely to happen on snow covered roads, then on a hot sunny day with clear conditions! And even if he is on summers, these are exactly the kind of people I want to avoid driving my M with during winter! |

Unfortunately for him, Rs generally have less tread than summers AND the compound that's so soft and sticky in the summer turns to brick in the winter. Dave
