He asked me if my quad was registered to be on the road, I told him no, then he told me that he's not going to bother me and that I make sure that I don't run into anything. What a nice officer

So pretty much when the level of snow go to 4 inches or so. Most of the vehicles that were on the road were snow mobiles, dirt bikes or quads. Fun night.

Oh yeah.........And I had no problem driving to work today. I love my WV.
WTF is a WV? This isn't the quad forum man.

Anyone tried chains on their coupe? If so, where did you get them from and did they work well?

Yeah, tires are everything. I felt bad for my coworker at work... I noticed he still had summer tires on his coupe, when I left early cause of the weather... But it was pretty bad... I had to rescue my wife, who got stuck in our TL... In fact, I passed like 4 TL's on the way up the hill to our house... Those stock tires really suck.... Praise the Continental ContiExtremeContact tires When I got to the top of the hill, I think I was the only passenger car that made it up... There were about 2 4x4s in front of me, and nobody behind me, as they were all stuck, clogging the road
