What are you doing right now? - Page 413 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was wondering what it was like to have to drive one in the snow. My tires are not even rated for weather below 32f degrees.

Ryan, you're trying to ditch the Yaris?!

Driving over an hour on ice and snow every day, I don't feel very confident in this car. I've been sideways on the highway this week more than I can count on one hand. And that's not cool.

SIPNGAS · 01-16-2009, 11:01 AM

NEVER have I been sideways, and I've barely fishtailed...the only issue I ever have is getting a grip from a stop...which might be helped if I actually had snow tires.

Of course, I've been driving almost as long as Ryan has been ALIVE.

oy...that makes me sound terribly old...LOL

Thats why I love my truck. Never ever been sidways. Been up on 2 wheels but not sideways.

Your not old, your wise.

Unless your as old a my great-grandmother, 105, your not old.

Buy a Jeep for foul weather. I have one and I think every person on earth should have one.

SIPNGAS · 01-16-2009, 11:08 AM

ooo...coheed..LOVE the avatar! I want that as a sticker on my car!!

And no, I'm not 105....and I don't feel old...most of the time. lol

coheed · 01-16-2009, 11:10 AM

Im gonna go take a nap, BBL.

ChinoCharles · 01-16-2009, 11:21 AM

Alright... bowl of cheerios, shower, and studying while YW distracts me. GO!

33OH · 01-16-2009, 11:21 AM

Well, you have to remember, I drive through the Appalachian Mountains to get to/from work. Twisty, steep hills. With snow drifts.

I've never actually wrecked before, I think I'm a pretty good driver.

You would love US 129 and the draggons tail.

Yeah I would, with no ice and snow on them.

I might actually sell the bike and the Yaris if I get a new car. I think a WRX would be an all-purpose toy.

*jclo3313* · 01-16-2009, 11:27 AM

If you sell the Yaris we'll have to banish you.

33OH · 01-16-2009, 11:28 AM

Ah come on. There's non-Yaris owners on here. =)

SIPNGAS · 01-16-2009, 11:33 AM

We can't get rid of Ryan...

33OH · 01-16-2009, 11:36 AM

It might not happen anyway. I've been in contact with a few dealers about it, but there aren't any local WRX's that I've found. All are a few hours drive, and I'd have to de-mod the car for them to look at it.
