Love the complaints here about people with "shitty cars" who should stay off the road. Maybe those people with "shitty cars" need to go to work? Im sure most of us used to be that person at some point in our lives, and it sucks to drive a little shitbox in a snowstorm. Maybe don't drive like a dick in the snow?

Seriously!! These comments are perplexing. Tailgating someone in bad conditions is unsafe no matter the car but especially if it’s a shitbox. These are the same jerks that will complain they couldn’t get their Dunkin’s because staff didn’t show up in a snow storm but then also complain about underpaid Dunkin staff not being able to afford new tires or better cars. They just want to whine. I have a snow capable car with good tires and I drive slow on bad roads because it’s safe. The tailgaters in their huge trucks do nothing but make me more nervous. It’s a lose lose for everyone.

The same people who complain about the line at Dunkin in the morning but are too lazy to make their own coffee at home

What’s even more hilarious is they think their $100K SUV somehow defies the laws of physics on ice regardless of tires. You spent a lot on your car. Cool! You’re an idiot.

Right? Some of us are essential workers who don’t have the option of staying home during a snow storm. Pisses me off to no end seeing shops like Marshall’s packed on bad days. And no, I am not stopping there, I am driving by.

My first little shit box was a bear in the snow I remember Halloween blizzard putting past stuck jacked up trucks. Any shit box will be fine in the snow w snow tires . When j see people sliding around in the snow I wonder why they didn’t prepare for something that happens every year

Not everyone has the money to put on snow tires every winter. A full set of tires is a month paycheck for most of these low-paid workers. And they already barely get by from month to month.

Narrow wheels are better in the snow than wider ones seen on nicer cars. Snow tires make an enormous difference.
