I don't understand, how in the city that gets the most "Winter" in Canada, even after 100 years of cars, people can't learn to drive in fucking snow and ice? My 20 minute commute to work took 50, and I was almost hit 7 times by retarded drivers. I've also heard at least 25 Accidents on my police scanner in the last 2 hours. Are people this retarded in places like Norway and Sweden during the winter?
Considering they don't have AWD, yes.

I'm still amazed government's of countries where it snows every year don't make AWD vehicles mandatory.
Cuz AWD doesn't help you stop any better than RWD or FWD. All cars have Brakes on all 4 wheels just the same, and People WITH AWD and 4X4 are actually the majority that CAUSE accidents here, because they also have this "HURR I have 4x4 I Wont crash" attitude and drive like assholes. What the Canadian Gov NEEDS to do is make winter Tires Manditory.

because if you limit everyone to awd the thing called the car industry will cripple itself

Depends on your province, winter tires are mandatory here.
Also, quick question : I'm going to have enough money for a car in a few months, my parents are switching cars just about the same time. They have a 2006 Pontiac Pursuit, not exactly the best car out there but it's decent. Should I just get it or can I get something more for ~1500$?
if they're getting a new car and there is a possibility of you getting that car, why can't you sell it and have more money for a better car?

I ran into this same situation when I inherited my Hyundai. We owed ~$8,000 on it at the time I got it and it was worth $12,000 or so. Parents were understandably unwilling to take out more debt.

isn't that like a 4000 dollar profit margin
[QUOTE=lemon_lover;27424500]isn't that like a 4000 dollar profit margin[/QUOTE]
right, but the parents would have only let me get something with $4,000 since they saw it as a chance to pay off their debt

the government already has enough rules; that would just suck dick.
[QUOTE=camaroni;27416721]A month? That's outrageous. I would think that there are some people on eBay who ship faster than that.[/QUOTE]
Apparently the problem is with the supplier rather than the distributor. There's not a huge choice of exhausts out there for a 5th gen prelude and these are the only supplier who supply a twin tip exhaust, the rest are all buckets.

AWD isn't some super anti-snow thing. A FWD or RWD car with snow tires will do fine in the snow.
Pretty sure Brilliance is worse.

<3 my albanian friend, we were driving around some NJ backroads like hella bros and then he was like joo wanna drive and then me and this other kid took turns.
I found that im not that nervous driving and felt like a pro even though i was going like 25 down a dirt road.
Icy parking lots, i know why you all love the snow, lets just say that i did like 3 180's and almost did a 360 and came all over my self.
