So where is the snow? :)

[Viguera]

They make a huge stink about all the snow... starting last night, mixed precipitation, messy commute... all that jazz.

It's 3:15 and I haven't seen a single flake... and this morning the sun was out when I got to work. It's cloudy and icky, but it's FAR from what they made it out to be.

Now they're saying 20-30% chance of rain/snow by tonight, but that's it. I guess whatever was going on missed us to the South by far.

Too bad it's gonna be like 15° though.

You listen to those weather niggas? They're so unreliable, I predict my own weather lol.

[NewYorkG35x]

[Roger@PTR]

[Metalp3n]

Around here its just been moist and icey, with rarely any snow.
But its been real fun in those G35x rentals

Can anyone say abuse? =D

[1HotRedG35]

[balz]

I saw on the news this morning that society is not allowed to use the "N" word even if it is used as an endearing term.

And by "society" they mean "white people" probably... :)

Because I'd like to see somebody trying to enforce that on some dudes playing cee-lo down the street from the Rucker. :)

[da mayor]

ill make it rain

[Viguera]

its raining hard i hope it doesn't ice up

That's exactly what they said was gonna happen. It's supposed to go below freezing soon, so even if it stops raining it's gonna be fun on the roads... :)

Go go g35x! :)

[Ig0r]

ill make it rain

No you wont...

[packetattack]

Yeah, no snow here in Eastern Long Island today either. Sun is shining brightly and it actually feels warm :).

[da mayor]

i just hated the salt on the roads killed both my cars. had to wash them in the freezing cold

[G-Q]

guess we're gettin' some tomorrow so drve safely guys.

[Viguera]

guess we're gettin' some tomorrow so drve safely guys.

Yeah... hopefully they've screwed up so much this year that this time they'll be wrong too... :)

But they're saying wintry crap tomorrow night into Wednesday, then snow/mixed all day Wednesday, so it could potentially suck a whole lot. My plan is to get home early tomorrow night, then work from home if it looks bad. No need to go test everybody else's driving skills in the snow... :)

[Nuclie-G]

It is coming to Easter LI hopefuly this Wed :) I can't wait to test drive my G in the snow... :)

[packetattack]

Yeah, if we had had less traveled roads, we could test out our G's ATESSA, but too many idiots out there.

I think the whole Huge SUV/4x4/AWD fever actually has the wrong effect on some people... :)

It should be that you have AWD so that you can drive safely -- if you even HAVE to drive -- and let the car help you cope with the loss of traction. But instead what you have is a whole assload of people out there that think that because they have AWD that they can drive like they do when it's dry -- or worse. So you end up with a ton more accidents than you would otherwise... :)

I'm guilty of it too though... I know that when my tires are balding, I drive much slower than when they're new. And when I had the Maxima I contemplated going out in the snow, even if it wasn't an emergency, something I would never think about in my RWD Benz.

But with that said, I think it's VERY important to find out where the limits of the car are, and what it feels like to drive in ice/snow. That way you don't find out the hard way and don't know what to do when the car starts getting away from you on the way home in a snowstorm in the middle of the night...

[papiloco21]

all the snows upstate, just got back form snowboarding...good times =)

[MaXiMaGiRL]

u guys are begging for snow but is mad chilly right now. sucks.

[Roger@PTR]

we about to get 2-6" here in ct tonight!

[1HotRedG35]

guess its time to put the G in the garage, and break out da beater.... 3"-6" by wednesday? SSSHHHHHIIITTTT

[Nuclie-G]

This is a lame snow so far. You can't barely do anything in this crappy snow..

[Alex]

My car is already in the garage lol

Don't ask haha

[Nuclie-G]

Dude what happened. Everything OK with your car?

[1HotRedG35]

My car is already in the garage lol

Don't ask haha

WTF???

[da mayor]

i wonder what diesel's up to

the FX was sick in teh snow w/ the all season 22" tires

[Viguera]

Nothing big driving on icy crap for 40 miles today. Only saw one accident though, so probably tonight on the way home it will be worse... :)

At least we can't say we didn't get any snow this winter...

[Nuclie-G]

True True..... You got a good point.

[BORIS]

i hate snow i just got my car 2 days ago and its already dirty and coverd with snow :(

[PistolPete]

Ugh, the new G35 Sport w/summer tires will stay in the driveway until this all melts. Dammit, and I just broke 200 miles!

I'm already eyeballing cheap 17" wheels and Blizzaks for next season @ TireRack.

Does anyone know if the stock 17" rims on the G35x will fit over the Sport rotors and brakes? Those rims would probably cost $$$.

-Pete

[Nuclie-G]

Nice,

200 miles?? that's it :). You need to drive it more :-D......
If you want to swap wheels you let me know. I am in Long Island. We have always meet somewhere and test it out...

Thanks.

[Neal376]

Blizzard here in maine...classes canceled, G's cold

[Nuclie-G]

You are Lucky. I am at work. I think i leave a little early today.

The stock X rotors are 12.6", while the Sport comes with 13s. I don't know if the OEM 17s would clear the 13s, but they should.

[Nuclie-G]

Good News viguera. Hopefully pistolpete do a swap with me :)

[Alex]

Nothin crazy happening with the car... just doing my headlights with X-Vert. Removed the whole bumper just for fun... will make a new thread when everything is done.

[Neal376]

its a f*&king blizzard...snow is still falling (since 3AM yesterday) and has piled up to the belt line of the G

[PistolPete]

Sorry INFI07G35x, no swapping wheels here :(. I was just wondering about fitment of the 17's for next winter for a 2nd set of rims in order to keep a "stock" look. The 18's look too good for me to give them up!

They sort of remind me of the old BMW E39 series M5 rims. My CEO had one and was always offering me a ride but I refused. I knew that if I sat in one I would have had to throw out my 401K to get one.

Now 7 years later I could probably get one of those for less that the cost of the G35 I just picked up. Oh well. :)

Appreciate the offer to help however!

So you're detailing the car then? :)

It's not that bad out here, and the G definitely held its own even in the crappy slush. AWD FTW! :)
