Winter Beater meets! - Click HERE for Original Thread

NisHo
It's about time we all got together with a ski rope, our 4X4s, GT snow racers, and the golf cart roof to whiplash eachother around snowy parking lots. The zoo, anyone?
:blue:

driftr420
sounds like fun.
i'll be out as soon as i have a winter beater.

ChromeDragon
Why use a parking lot? Why not right down Gateway Blvd. behind a car that's doing some choku dori drifting across 5 lanes of traffic?:dunno:

Charles_00civic
haha. we went drifitn at the zoo and some guy took photos of us. :dunno: Then as we were leaving, 2 police cars were coming down. I dont really want to go there again. How about the peanut. I want to see this place. lol. I think we should all go to a lake like jackfish or something and then we can shovel/ use my snowblower to clear sone huge patch of snow. Then we skid around. I think a tow-off would be fun.:thumbup: lol. However I dont have a winter beater. I have a 1994 greand caravan turn camper van and my regular 2000 civic.

95EagleAWD
Hasn't been cold enough to drive on the lakes yet... careful guys. No one needs to die to have fun... Wait a month before you go driving out on the ice.

:rolleyes: damn KIDS!!!
Hahaha lake ice drifting huh? This can be done Im sure I know from experience. Hope you got 2wd not 1wd :) lets try to get a event going fellas :thumbup:

dc2696
dude, egg lake just north of the city, its usually cleared for sled racing, tons of fun in cars though, still not enough snow now.

SilviaDrifter
edmonton rx7 club might have some ice dice events later on this winter

icydude

K even though your GTR does have rust..... i swear you should park that thing.... your giving all us GTR owners a bad name... now everyone is going to be like,,, "so i seen this retard today in a done up yellow skyline, yo...... in the fucking snow and mud!!!!"

lilweiner
actully no,,,,, fuck drive that thing, make sure you drive it to the fucking limit.... and i'll buy it off you for 6 grand. when you wreck it.

icydude
What the hell are you talking about.

The car has no rust on it, find the rust for me please.

Its getting washed every three days.


Not driving a gtr in the winter is just the dumbest thing a person could do. Atessa has a purpose.

I even have a block heater.

:dunno:

edit: So explain to me why im a retard now? Im not the only one driving a gtr in the winter.....

jdmtalon
i dont see a problem with driving an AWD car in the winter??? if you have a block heater and drive responsibly then who cares??? skyline arent good for winter but i cant see them being that bad are they?? back to topic though, leduc has a wicked ice track in winter.

Malaria
if you get the right winter tires i can see the gtr being great as a winter car, the atessa system is perfect for these types of conditions, i've driven both the murano and the g35 with the atessa system and they feel great on snow, and patch ice.

if ppl would get over the fact that its a gtr, but think of it as a capable awd car. ppl drive STI's in the winter, hell since it snowed i've seen a few porsche cayenne and even a carrera 4, these cars are much more expencive then a gtr, but they still drive them on shitty roads :dunno:

Think_Fast
Jackfish lake. lol. OOORR. We should rent a water truck (About 200) and spary down a parking lot or something. Then drift on it.

95EagleAWD
Driving a Skyline ain't that nuts. It's AWD, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I say, if you wanna... give 'er...

This, however, I wouldn't do...







:blink:

icydude
haha that white one makesa good snow plow:D

crazy240sx
i would love to see the place that lets us spray down their parking lot with a water truck and fuck around on it, that'd be the day, but if we got on like jackfish without everyone getting stuck, that would be sweet to screw around on

but back to the topic, i think there should be winter beater meets, sure they're nothing special but so what, winter is fun to screw around in *safely and in the law of course:thumbup: * so people start coming out and having fun, we don't need to stand in the cold, stop at a timmy ho's and have a coffey and go have some fun, my opinion

95EagleAWD
My winter beater is my summer ride, so I got no issues with meets in the winter.

Charles_00civic
k. Water truck plus the parking area of any lake = fun. then we'll be like. Hey wait. There's a lake. nvm. K well. Lakes need another month and a bit. Last january The back left wheel of my dad fx fwell theough while I was driving it and i though for sure the rest wa going, so i gotr my dogs out. The waited like 10 seconds. Got back in and put on traction controll awd or w/e "snow" is and it pulled itself out! half the back wheel was in though.

lilweiner
hey nevermind.... but ithought you were tryin to sell the car.... and if i'm not mistaken i thought you were asking 16500..... by spring you should have drove that things value well into the ground...

16000, and driving in the winter would hardly be driving a car into the ground.

Grow up man.

lilweiner
you should change the price on your web site.

icydude
its not my web site to change

~30oZ~
Last winter we used the big gravel parking lot right across from Purolator (sp?) on the south side it's a parking lot for a base ball diamond i think... you take the back road from southside mitsubishi...anyways, yeah when there's a nice layer of ice on the parking lot the cars really slip around:thumbup: and this lot is huge!!!!

Nightstalker
I use to work at that park for the city. If you guys are going drifting in the day I would say go for it. I use to drift the maintenance stuff and the big city F450s there all the time in the fall/winter.

I would go on the paved part just to the east of the buildings though personally.

Bad Egg
You GTR guys should just whip it out and get the dick measurin' over with...of course we would have to compensate some for winter shrinkage...

Nightstalker
Better bring out something that can measure in .000mms if they had something they wouldn't need a skyline :drama: :p

icydude
haha yeah, oh well.

many people are driving gtr's in the winter. It just makes sense.

People drive mustangs and 240's. sti's and 330xi's.
why not atessa?

crazy240sx
if its your only vehicle then thats all you have, not everyone has the resources for 2 vehicles, but there's no way in hell i'll drive a 5.0 in the winter, too scary, the 240 with bald tires feels more secure to me, thats just me tho

I have a GT snow racer with your name on it and a video camera we can strap to your head with duct tape, and the new open part of the anthony heanday is nice and WIDE.
Man to see you do that I am sure many would come out to watch! :beer:

Nightstalker
I have a camera that came with a mount for a head strap. ;)

Hahaha that camera owns! (If its the one you showed me)
The Aloha drink crystals jug modified for protection and suction cups for roof mounting was awesome Mike :thumbup:

Nightstalker
Nope, I have a new and improved system now. Its semi professional.

NisHo
well shit, hopefully the snow will come back! I've done the whipping around the zoo many many times ... no one's ever taken my photo or called the cops! How ghey is that. We could also tow ourselves around the neighborhood - it's pretty quiet in that area.

guess we gotta wait for the snow!

I hope braceface has a yellow jacket and scarf to match his yellow shoes and skyline :)

crazy240sx
i knew that was hairy tits talkin, shit i thought i'd never see you or hear of you again, haha, i'm up for some zoo shiat for sure

haha those are long gone:dunno:


anyways that neighborhood isnt all that quite....

there is about 4 people i know that live just before you get to the zoo on the right.

They would disturb the fun we have.

Do you still have your Marty McFly outfit??
haa haa

I am talking on 88 ave and 139 street, and the little crescents there ... really quiet. A snowy parking lot is the ultimate place, of course. Maybe UC will sponsor our winter olympics and not have their lot shovelled?

Hi Icydude,

Perhaps we know the same people that live there. I use to live in that area actually just in the crescent one street off from Buena Vista Road accross from the zoo. Right by the field that the city wanted to turn into a parking lot, then some sort of rec center. I lived there for 10 years. My folks still live there.

I agree, the neighbourhood is not all that quiet. The zoo parking lot has many potential hidden dangers in the winter. I would not reccomend it for the winter olympics drifting competition. Only a few paths are cleared in the winter in the parking lot. Ahhhh..... now the memories of jumping my old Cressida over a burried concrete paking curb at 50 km/hr while practicing skid control are returning. Lucky I did not bust anything up. :lol:

Mike Nikolai

There are random checks done by the Police in that area.

:drool: i can't wait to see 'em, when did you get the internet, i thought you didn't have it, must've shaved the hairs and sold them to afford it :lol: i can't believe i'm typing this out, its so disgusting

AND i'm not a fag you whore

i would come up to one of those ice slide events :)

Markgase2000
Sliding is cool :thumbup:
Now if we as a group had our shit together perhaps a organized event could take place instead of possably attracting popo and getting our cars took away?
Not gonna happen tho ;) cus we can hardly get along let alone organize a legal event!

icydude

Isn't there a Snow setting for the STIs traction control ? Same with the Evo9.. Your just silly not to drive them in the winter.

ahahaha Cayennes are so stupid. My dad has a TT. We were driving around, he was doing 120 down the whitemud during a snowstorm ... I suggested he slow down a bit ... he says "NO WAY! This thing will NEVER fishtail!" And he floors it, and sure enough, the ass end goes sideways, and he says "oh maybe I should put it in 4 wheel." :rolleyes: Dumbass Porsche drivers!

luder
The evo9 has a snow setting. As far as I know the sti does not. But it does have an adjustable traction bias. That would be so cool in the winter. Instantly fwd to rwd!

Charles_00civic
I know a good place to go. After 9:45 though. My neighbour owns rabbit hill and i think ther'es snow on the parking lot there. Also, the hill to the water treatment plant! lol. Could be fun. The cops wouldnt disturb us there. However, I dont think we could go till like 9:45 or so. Till everyone is gone. lol. That hill would be fun. I dont wanna go on the acgtual hill though cause i know theres a security guard who monitors the hill and the waterski club. :blue: Oh. I found a cheap way to make good carboggans. lol. I'llb riong my semi complete demo.

Think_Fast
lol charles.... fairly successfull night...lol

winter beater meet hey?. it almost hasnt been worth driving my winter beater this year. i could have easly drove my car on it's summer tires. and to m ake matters worse with the cost of my new tattoo i dont think i'll be able to make it to the mountains this year. i thought we'd atleast have a few inches on the local crappy hills. just enough to blow some time on.

poo:mad:

se-i
I got my durango its a 4x4 could pull us around on some sleds or soemthing.

BErettin
hey se-i is your durango the 318?. i have the dakota with the V8. what a pig on gas

That's a damn good idea, considering we don't have any goddamn snow yet! I have a golf cart roof - believe you me it's perfect for 4 or more to get whipped around or toboggan with.

I dunno, my dad has one in his durango.. It doesn't really do it for me. I drove that truck for the first 4 months we had it because my dad was up in fort mac. I wasn't impressed by it.

BErettin
maybe it's a weight difference?. i assume my truck would have alot less weight than the SUV:dunno:

crazy240sx
hah, you think the 318 is bad, check out the 360, the r/t version 5.9L, that thing is an absolute hog
