Eastern Carolina snow + FWD

[NeedForSteve]

We’ve gotten our second decent snow/ice storm of the year in the #252. Schools are closed so my wife and I are home for the day, but a family member who had to work today needed a ride home, so we ventured out to pick him up. About a 35 mile round-trip.

Out where he lives is some family farm land with an old drainage pond about 1/4 mile off the road. Decided to take a ride back through the fields and see if anything had frozen yet. Passed a couple cars in ditches and a rollover on the trip, but the lil truck did great and even pulled us back out of this hole behind the fields without any drama.

Fun times!

There’s always somewhere with more weather than us, our winters are usually pretty temperate so most folks aren’t used to snow here. What we do get is usually freezing rain (like most of this) so when it mixes with a little snow and turns to slush folks get tricked into thinking they can drive normally in it, hence all the accidents…

I’m just glad to know I can get back to the pond now if I decide to do some winter camping

LOL look at that wheel well and all of the snow accumulation. You were jamming on the throttle and spinning tires like crazy!!

I cannot stress enough that the Maverick FWD Hybrid is no more capable than any other limited slip front axle vehicle with the exception of a little bit of extra ground clearance.

All the spinning was done in the intersections lol the paths are way too rutted to be bombing down.

Also, I absolutely wouldn’t be out in the field if this were a hybrid truck. There’s no way I’d risk banging the HVBM off the ground. That could get *spicy* and expensive in a way I’m not interested in

Oh I know all that snow accumulation in the wheels wells was done on pavement. Folks down South don't know how to feather the throttle.

Something that goes up your nose, smart ass! We all can’t live in a Trump State.

I don’t like cocaine but I do enjoy the way it smells very much.
