Snow!!

[TSXDude]

So, who was late today? The drive wasn't as bad as I expected. The highway was fairly smooth, only the local roads around my neighbourhood were jammed.

[pcdawg]

Only took me an extra 10 mins or so more than usual. Just a slower drive. I guess my part of town didnt get hit as bad.

[EX ITR]

No cars at all, only fresh white stuff at 3:30am. Very nice!!

[ChinchillaX]

I hear from my cousin up in sauga they got about 20cm of snow. Its cold and windy and it was still snowing. they called off school, so he was at home on msn.

[ians]

I am at home too oooo4

But I went out for lunch, the drive actually not that bad...

[bluexcrush]

snow day here in hamilton, awesome, get to play tackle football :D

[narci]

Man..I was just telling my best friend that I left just as it got cold and snowed. Jan 20th. Not i'm in Vancouver with the warm weather. Kinda sucks cause I miss the snow and cold..weird but I do. I love driving in the snow.

[afici0nad0]

you'll just get overcast and drizzle during your winters.

pretty depressing when i was there. i noticed that the sun always came up in the morning, up until, maybe, noon. the mornings were always nice.

the snow here is nothing. the media was hyping it up, acting like we were gonna get hit like buffalo/denver.

[VorteC]

SO MUCH SNOW TODAY! Damn... alot more than we got anytime prior this year! I goto school and the soccer field was so damn deep .. and in some cases where the wind blew against some hill, the snow piled up to at least 50cm.. damn, my socks are wet.

[JeffTSX]

It was fun pacing with a dodge snow plow with my brother's legacy going to work this morning! :thumbsup:

[GeneralCho]

No more snow in Vancouver. Just rain.

[-phase-]

^^thank goodness

[code85]

took me about 1hr to get to school which usually takes me 15mins

[VorteC]

snow again this morning.. and i was just out running around to 4 gas stations to find gas.. holy jeez

[bluexcrush]

so windy, my car almost flipped ;)

[ebell]

there's no gasoline in TO ?

:eek: :shock:

[VorteC]

seems to be.. they all said outta fuel

[ians]

damn! both my car need fuel!!!! actually, couple weeks ago, Esso already started run out of fuel.

[TSXDude]

Ya, esso's having fuel supply shortage as a result of the fire at their refinery. Won't return to normal till next week, but who knows...

I'm just sick of the way the other gas companies are gouging us, raising their price even though they were not affected.

Man...it's at least $0.10+ more then Toronto out here in Vancouver and we're right beside the oil fields. Today's regular price was $1.052.

[Kanon23]

now I know compared to the east coast its nothing, but SNOWIN HEAVILY NOW IN BC!!!

wow,

You just revived a 10 month old thread. And yes it is pretty bad here in T.O. I was plowing the snow with my front end coming to work this morning :)

Happy shoveling

[narci]

Awesome here in Van. It felt so much like home (Toronto). We had probably around 5-10 cm of snow in east van/burnaby. It started saturday morning...I drove out..and was sliding all over the place. We back home after 2 minutes of driving, got my snow tires and got them changed over. Night and day difference from stock all seasons. I LOVE THE SNOW and especially diving in it. I was zipping past people who were going 20km/hr and sliding around. I saw a CRV take out an Integra 1 block from my place. I didn't see any BMW's or Mercedes out on the road exacpt for 1 ML hahaha.

Too bad now it's raining, suppose ot be 100-150mm of rain for the next 2 days.

I hope it snows again.

lol oui!

and sell when the tires are bold.... 80k for a set lol

[pcdawg]

SOOO much snow the past few days in Toronto.

What pissed me off is the local municipal's snow clearing service. Sunday afternoon i shovelled my driveway clean. The town's road snow removal service must have come by sunday nite and by Monday morning they left all the snow piled high right at the foot of the driveway. Well it was freezing rain that nite so u can guess the snow would be frozen ice chunks.

Well, it snowed a bit yesterday and today andupon coming home this evening, the snow road removal was again brushed to the edge of my driveway!!!! Again its hard rock solid snow. WTF ... looks to be a long cold winter in toronto....

*vent over*

[ians]

I just have to drive backward again this morning after entering a parking lot with 10" snow covered!

lol...

It was pretty fun the past 2 days, the local municipal's snow clearing service was slow as fxxk and all I see was they dump sand and salt on the street. I took my car out for fun last night as the snow was pretty fresh, and some area were pretty deep too. My Mugen front lip shovel along the way and after a whole season of abuse, something finally broke. One of the side insert (silver part on the front lip) was lost in snow and now I don't know what to do with it. I'm too busy (lazy) to bring my car to mechanic to rise the coilover by 2 inches, and I kept scrapping hard ice chunks on the ground.

Well, I guess something new for next year if it breaks..... :tardsmash

[ians]

Well, that's how you save your ass out when driving a RWD on white. You should know that! I am thinking is it still able to change my order to get a xi instead! :donno:

[TSXDude]

Ian, you getting the 335?

[ians]

Ian, you getting the 335?

Yes, placed the order 2 weeks ago

[pcdawg]

Got it from the US? or canada?

[ians]

^^From Parkway. I got 5% off MSRP and free trade the oem summer tires for snow tires. Also they willing to take my E46 for $12250 instead of $9000 what T&C offer me. But I still will try to sell it privately later since the trade in value won't count all the upgrade that I have on my car such as Mtec kit, M3 steering wheel, leather, cd changer and of course software upgrade :shiner:

If we take the silver, white or dark gray then we can have it the end of this month otherwise will be end of Feb. We have to decide this week.

I already ordered a E92 M3 steering wheel from ebay and planned to put on M performance SSK, M shift knob, CDV mod, Aero front lip, M lip spoiler and also xenon angel eyes, fogs and led interior & rear licence light. Also thinking of carry over my 18" BBS CH or get a set of 19" OEM style 230.

5% off + high resale value of your E46 was quite a good deal, but I believe you can save more from the States?

Also, did you mentioned to them about the new pricing? How much are you paying for the 335i? I just went to Audi recently and their S5's MSRP is starting from $65,000. Of course, that's an Audi, not BMW.

Congrat on your new purchase. :grinno:

You are joking my E46 has high resale value!!!! It doesn't worth more than a same MY, same mileage Accord. BMW dun have new pricing, they just have $1500 cash rebate if pay full in cash. Since every maker dropped sales on Nov but BMW increase sales by 20%. I am paying $55000 + pdi + freight + air tax + all the crappy fees + tax. And I still having decide should I add navi to it or not. The navi/idrive option make the interior looks a lot better. If it is a Honda Navi, I will get it no doubt but I am really worry about the idrive system on the bmw navi unit which make it worst than nothing such as blue screen when just listen to radio! :woowoo:

[Pacemaker_Guy]

Ya stock tire+snow=sliding into parking spot at HS. Should of bought tires, not the xbox!

[chuson]

Have fun w/ idrive. Besides functionability, the screen does make the car looks better.

The 135i is pretty tempting to myself too..... but I still love my TSX... for now.

[TSXDude]

Congrats Ian. The 335 seems to be a tad out of my price range, but i'll definitely check it out when my lease is up. In the mean time, i'm thinking about the new STI. I'm hoping Jeff could get me a test drive or something.

At least your wife give you choice! For me, the choice is what color, what option and what dealer! But this time I insist to take the coupe! So no mother-in-law :nutkick:

[TSXDude]

haha, well, she has her car already, so the choice is entirely mine.

Maybe ask your wife to consider the 4 door M3, she can impress her clients even more.

[VorteC]

I think the 135i comes later than the 128i, and damn, the 4-door m3 is pretty nice, but somethign near the C pillar looks outta order.

[ians]

I like the style of couple a lot better than the sedan. I dun want to spend $85k but still look like a corolla :troutslap

[pcdawg]

You guys should check out the 135i. Pretty much going to be the benchmark for its price range. Definately best bang for the buck when it comes out next yaer...

Whats going on? everyone all going german now?!?!

Be aware though...you will not get the good reliability of a japanese car and maintenace will be slightly more to keep in good shape/

Not slightly more... actually is a lot more! especially count the cost of ownership, it is horrible! see I only got 15% back after 8yr on my E46. So the piece of mind is always have a Honda as a back up if you go for a German. :tardsmash

Just my opinion, but i find the 1 series 'coupe' hideous. The proportion just doesn't seem right. I much prefer the old 1 series hatch, too bad they are getting rid of that.

[otesrepsaj]

^+1..i'd look at the new STI or evo X instead

[TSXDude]

ya, STI is on the top of list.

You hear that Jeff??? When will you guys get them.

[ians]

I like the look of EVO X but sounds like Mit going to give up the MT.

[TSXDude]

^ ya, that's the reason i'm shying away from the EVO. Twin clutch is fast, but it cannot bring you the joy of the MT.

I like how the STI looks with the factory wide body. The evo looks too much like a regular lancer.

[chuson]

Haha, this thread is turning into New Car Discussion thread... lol... where's the mod?

Anyways, it would be nice to own an affordable (I hope) German car (Which I have never experience), given its performance data I guess it will be the benchmark of all. STI/EVO X is another story. The STI does perform better than the EVO X, but somehow I like the looks of EVO X more...

both cars got uglier compared to their predecessors... the STI just looks like crap now, the EVO is okay, but still crappier than before.

I spent the day writing essay and shoveling the 2 driveways that I have..

[chuson]

I got up @ 8:30a.m this morning, was expecting ALOT of snow but I was disappointed, it's clear on da street. So drove to my workplace & study LLQP (exam soon). Stuck in my office for lik 5hrs, came out again for lunch (McDonald) and it was totally different.

Every car I see got stuck, and I was soooooo appreciate that I got snow tires, I even floor in low gear & making noises (not speed but more like get over the pile of snow) around a cop cruiser that stuck in da snow on a right corner, he look @ me, but what can he do... lol

My car was pretty low and shovelled all da snow and pack in white, my whole bumper is white and NO opening for fog or airdam.

It's pretty fun to drive once you turn off the VSA.

[lcrazyaznl]

Theres quite alot of snow here...
i didn't get stuck, and helped pull people out but we don't have enough power.. haha

[afici0nad0]

It's pretty fun to drive once you turn off the VSA.

that's what i forgot to do. i would've gotten out of the small snow banks a lot faster.

[JeffTSX]

Haha Dan, once I have info when we'll be getting our first shipment, I'll let know you asap. *I like the new STI more than EVO too!!!* Plus the new EVO is pretty heavy. Anyhow, back onto topic. It's NICE to have a legacy as back up for winter conditions. Had no problem coming back from clubbing downtown last night and everywhere else today! :ben: But now my TSX just sits in the garage. Useless piece of crap!!! lol j/k j/k

The 335i is not even build yet! It is scheduled for Jan production and Feb delivery.

I think us guys up in markham /richmond hill didn ahve as much snow as the others down in scarborough, sauga and toronto.

Was still a slow drive to work even on the main road of Kennedy today.
