Hey... let's all just trade ******* cars. Yeeaah. We'll start some crazy car-swapping program. Better yet, here's some entrepreneurial thinking... we'll open up a shop at the foot of the Dragon and rent out sports cars equipped with slicks. $100 an hour for a TII. You break it, you bought it. And we're not liable for any law-breaking done in our rental vehicles.

Heh, dunno how much repair work there would be... we'd probably just be pulling our cars out of trees and hauling them to the scrap yard. It would be cool though... I wonder just how a business like that would work? If they can rent out Hummers in Gatlinburg for people to cruise in, I don't see why this idea wouldn't work. Insurance would be insane though, if we could even find anyone to cover that!

I've never had the chance to drive any of my 7's in a decent amount of snow. Chalk that up to latitude and global warming I guess. I'm sure it's pretty terrible. The FB might survive, with it's narrow tires and LSD rear. But it would still be Slidezilla on Ice.

Nah, I don't use any IM stuff. Just forums and the dreaded myspace.

We'd probably have to have like 8 pages of waivers and crap. Boosting in the snow isn't the best way to get around. I'm guessing you have ABS though, so at least you'd have a little help stopping it if you got it moving.

ABS is great for soccer moms driving to practice but for a racer, its a hinderance, kicks in way before threshhold braking is applied and over all isnt that good. the ABS on my Subaru got in the way of braking in the snow... i swear i slid right into curb once because the ABS decided to kick in about 28934728347891 years before i needed it...

seriously tho, we should consider the car rental thing...

So the Subaru has been wrecked... -$400! I've never actually owned a vehicle with ABS, so I haven't had to deal with it during sport driving. But it would probably get on my nerves like auto seatbelts and airbags.

I have no capital to put toward a scheme like that, only a couple cars, and I'm pretty picky about who I let drive 'em. It's a good pipe dream though.

Yeah, it is funny that scooter really dislikes only you, and its not so much a fear of your girlfriend its that he knows she wears the pants in the group.

Jimi, what are you doing around 1ish friday? I gotta be in knoxville to get my ticket paid, but since ill be out there....might snag them game systems.

That's what I heard. TII for a Subie. Could be a profitable venture for you since the TII would probably fetch 3500 or so. Mileage is about to hit 105k. I'm done though, really. I shouldn't even be thinking about selling that car because I probably would regret it, and not be able to find another one down the road.
