I think everyone here knows by now that I drive a 2011 Dodge Charger RT Max. 370 horses. Love it.
How does it handle in the snow?

I like the Charger, and 370 horses sounds fun, but I feel like it would be a death trap with our winters.

There is an all-wheel drive version of the Charger, but mine's rear-wheel drive.

I got a kick ass set of winter tires: Continental Extreme Winter Contacts. They are low profile and cost too much, almost $400 apiece. But they give me good traction. I get them put on in mid-October to make sure I don't get caught with my all-seasons because then I'd be fucked.

The Charger is a HEAVY car (around 4,100 pounds curb weight), except there's very little weight in the back over the rear tires. I sacrifice much of my trunk space in the winter by loading several sand bags in there. The extra 275 pounds or so gives me much better grip on the road.

The kid next door just got an Infiniti sports car, not sure of the exact model, and he's been stuck two or three times since the first snowfall. It's relatively light, he doesn't have winter tires and I doubt he puts extra weight in the trunk.


My dad used to do that with his Mustang when I was a kid. Load up the trunk with weight.

Glad to hear it keeps you safe!

My last vehicle (also a Grand Cherokee) was a tank in the snow. Even in the worst of conditions it stuck to the road like glue.

Had to change the tires in my current Cherokee, as it was not nearly as good in the snow as the last one. Not sure if it's the weight or what, but even with the better tires (all terrain), it's pretty good, but nowhere near as good as my old one.

How do your vehicles not come equipped with firearms? This is a standard option in Texas on all vehicles.
I carry an old Louisville Slugger in the trunk of my 2014 Mazda 3 sedan with deep crystal blue mica finish. :)

Honda Accord
i thought u wrecked it.
Nope its still alive but I am 2 for 5 so far. This one and the corolla survived until I sold them. Honestly the other cars were totalled because they were old. A flat tire might have totalled the Buick

Worse in what way? Having multiple kids is just too much of a headache, or the wife's cooch is loosened up from popping out kids that it just ain't as fun anymore? Or both?

Oh we're having one more. "A girl". Which - by my luck - will probably mean twin boys three times in a row before we have a girl and I end up with a small army of children but no sanity to command them.

Worse as in, good luck trying to have sex for several months afterwards. At least in my experience.

Second child herself is a joy!

As for the cooch, both were c-sections, so all is good! ;)

My wife was in labor for 14 hours or so before they finally pulled the plug and did the C section.

Worst experience ever.
