I'll be sitting in Jamestown, RI on Paddy's day (it's my birthday). Wave as you go through RI - if you notice it!

Thanks, Nutz - just don't forget to let up on the horn pretty quick - you don't want to scare Massachussetts.

Sadly, i gave up drinkng some 32 years ago right after my Bachelor Party So green beer is off the menu for good.

Well... It looks like my trip might be canceled... If Boston get 8-12 inches of snow like they think... I'm stuck at home!

*News Flash*

A stock Yaris SUX monkey ass in the snow...

That’s right ladies and gentlemen you heard it here first… Without an upgraded Wheel/Tire package the light ass Yaris Liftback is all over the road like a 2 Dollar Crack Whore on Payday… Just look at all the Threads about accidents and wrecked Yarii… Seriously… I don’t trust it with the Sleet and Rain I’m getting now… let alone the 6-8 inches that Boston might be getting!

Have fun, but dude, don't let the snow stop you! Leave a day early and come back a day late if you have to... well worth seeing Dropkick on Irish day! FUCK I'm so jealous...

Just came home 20 miles in the thick of the snow. Biggest danger are the other idiots on the road - rush hour here is just like Amateur Hour.
But... Toyo Proxes4, in a 205 width, are NOT good tires in the white stuff. No damage, no heart attacks, but not fun. Shoulda put the stocks back on last night.

Hey Nutzoids, they let us out from work (aka "the Hole") early around 1:30 this afternoon. I left the Hole here in Woburn.....15 miles north of Boston and I got home no problem! The roads, other people, etc all sucked! But, I made it . Oh, I forgot to mention........I left the Yaris home in the "igloo" (one of those instant garages) nice and safe and took the other vehicle 4x4 . Yes, the car sucks in the snow...but that's another story! This shit is going to keep coming down till about noon tomorrow changing to sleet/rain depending where you are. It's too bad on the weather wanting to see one of your favorite bands. All I can tell ya is, you got balls IF you drive there tonite/this morning. It MAY NOT BE WORTH IT if that's your only transportation. Mother nature plays alot of tricks and in New England.......anything is possible when it comes to change in weather . Fridays after work have always been my drinking night right from work...but this afternoon I just came straight home even with the 4x4. Good luck!

yeah i have a video of me driving in the snow. this car sucks in the snow. seriously! I have to use left food brake technique and use the e brake as much as possible to prevent the car from losing control in the rear. I think that the whole drive home i was shifting and ebraking .. im soo tired from this lol.

I made it home tonight... I have another post in the PA/NY/NJ/DE Thread...

It took me 2.5 hours to get home... Normally it would have been a 45 min trip...

But I made it safe... and no problems... I'm proud of my little guy!

I actually picked up someone I met at 7-11 who was driving a Trans-am and took him home too... The whole time trying to sell him on a Yaris!
