20 year old Toyota Corolla wins lol.
This was in 2005, it wasn't a 20 year old corolla back then.
@@josema6694 Thanks
Perfect reason why not to buy a rwd only truck or jeep. My friend brought a 02 rwd only grand Cherokee and I was like YEEEAAAHHH U ARE GOING TO LOVE THE SNOW. Couldn't keep up with my quadra drive..
Im glad no one got done for wheel spinning
I was stuck in this mess after leaving work. What would normally take 45 min to get home, took 8 hours! A lot of drivers were stuck on the roads over night.
1:25 ridin the streets sideways. Now THAT'S gangsta
Jeep gangsta
doriftooooo
Pretty funny how most of the vehicles were dodge / Chrysler / jeep products.
I was thinking the same thing
+Dakota Jaegle looks like we have a jeep owner
no one no how to use 4x4
Shut up cone head
i think the people who own those cars are the least likely to think that they need snow tires because they're "good drivers"
Just because its a truck doesnt mean its 4wd lol!
"If I mash the gas and spin my tires really fast I can melt all this ice and snow!"
I was out there that day!! left Cisco/RTP at 1:15pm (couldn't miss my Pilates class!! LOL!), and got home (east Raleigh near Knightdale) at MIDNIGHT! Luckily I had a full tank of gas & "Bible on CD" in my car! it was a total gridlock in Triangle Town Center area & couldn't get through, luckily Target (or Walmart?) - one of those over there - was open & giving out coffee to those who were stranded... what a day to remember!!
Sorry, folks. The numerous transplants out on the roads that day didn't fare any better than the natives. Everything was covered in ice that day, resulting in 8hr long, 3 mile commutes. Bizarre day.
If cash for clunkers didn't happen i know about 99% of these gems would still be on the road
god this video makes me wonder how we arent extinct
Welp, this kind of driving killed off the dinosaurs.
After living in Boone NC (the mountains) for 5 years I can tell you that the absolute worst vehicle you can own for snow is a rear wheel drive pick up, followed closely by a rear wheel drive SUV or sedan. If you're not gonna go for a 4wd or AWD car, go for a heavy set front wheel drive sedan. I have an '03 Malibu with a heavy V6 over the wheels and have never had any major issues, I made it up into the most rural area of the county to pick up a friend the other day, I was making fresh tracks and could hear the snow scraping my underbody at times.
I agree I live in Ashe county it does get interesting up here dearing Winter
I lived in Raleigh for this storm it was sad. I Watched a Corvette spin tires for 5 mins trying to get up creedmore rd only to put his brakes on and slide into the car behind him.
Pretty cool to see what cars populated the roads during this time.
Sadly to say most of those cars look mundane and generic lolz now I see where the stylists are going for these cars nowadays
They look way better than the BS they're making now
@@ef5supercell yesss they had character and were their own cars now everything has the same face and looks
I was caught in the storm that day. The state couldn't brine the roads because I believe it was raining beforehand. It was a sudden ice storm in the afternoon. Normally, the elementary schools would close first, then the middle and high schools. Then people would leave work to return home. However, all the schools and work let out at the same time. This put everyone on the road network at once, paralyzing the entire system. NC is a warm weather state so no snow tires. Most people don't keep chains or even snow shovels. Usually, a warm day following a snow storm melts everything. It was sunny that day. I drove on roads that faced south. The sun warmed their surface to make them passable. I made it home in about three hours on what was normally a half hour commute. I saw on the opposite lanes roads that were impassable due to ice. School buses got trapped. Some had to return the children to school where they stayed that night. Some ambulances were not adequately able to reach their emergency patients. Afterwards, Golden Corral served all the school bus drivers a free lunch in appreciation of their services that day.
Only time you can't salt the roads is if it gets in the single digits or below. Salt can't reduce the freezing point low enough.
@@user-os8sq3uh4n This is North Carolina, it wasn't anywhere near that cold, but rain would have washed the brine off.
I was in this mess. Sitting on I-40, NOT MOVING, and my Jeep started sliding sideways. My normally 30 to 45 min drive home took over 3 hours, and I was one of the lucky ones.
driving on worn or summer tires
that's what you get for buying a 2wd pickup truck
2:45 The driver in the Dakota needs to ease up a little. Even the Escape went up the hill just fine.
Rwd trucks are probably the worst possible vehicle to have in the snow, but yeah it pains me he just though: “oh no, I’m spinning my tires, what should I do? Oh I know, GUN IT!”
I was on the ice storm . Rush hour traffic like after 3:30 lot of ice no one except it . From a nice day was turned to really icy
It's all on the tires ,if you have a all season tire ,I'm cold weather they get hard and become like plastic on the ice .a sort compounds true either tire with sipes will grip even on ice so for a couple hundred bucks u can save yourself a lot of grief
I was only 4 when this was taken! That guy driving the black Dakota was my grandfather!!!!!!
If people would keep their all season or summer tires in the garage where they belong in the winter there would be a lot less of this nonsense.
I grew up in Raleigh, people do not know how to drive on ice/snow there at all. The reason its so bad as well is the road comission basically does nothing to help. So the roads get REAL bad, ice sheets galore. They would put sand down when I lived there.
The "road commision" is called the Department of Transportation and in fact they do an excellent job of brining the roads when winter weather is on the way. However, that day the mess started as rain, which would have washed the brine away, then started freezing.
this is what happens when clowns dont have winter driving experience and thought they were smart for opting out of 4wd jeeps and trucks😂
This is what happens when we get a light dusting of show and then it turns to freezing rain and ice... and all the schools and business let out at once. I was in that mess, my 30 to 45 min drive took 3 hours, and I was one of the lucky ones.
I can't get the video to play--a shame because I was one of those folks caught in this sotrm for 9 hours. It wasn't the snow itself, it was the fact that EVERYBODY all left work at the same time and there was insane gridlock on every road in the city.
two words - winter tires
It's the South they don't get winter like Northerners do. Even then most Northerners don't have winter tires bc they know how to drive in winter.
+littlesirenboy knowing how to drive does not increase traction so to speak..of its slick, it's slick
+2010V6RAV4 IF, not of
+littlesirenboy It's not because we don't know how to drive, it's because we don't need them.
The all seasons on my Subaru outperform the sets of snow tires I tried.
We ran a commercial plowing outfit without having snow tires, we simply never needed them.
+FCFordLord you don't need them until you need them than it's too late, it's better to have Jacket in warm climate than not and freeze
Its fun watching NC NASCAR wannabe podunks driving in snow
Mainer here. These guys have no idea what they're doing.
One of the first problems I see here is that no one has snow tires
Well it's nc. Doesn't snow much. Nice try attempting to make yourself seem amazing.
+Chase Miller I agree👍👍
+Chase Miller Snow tires don't make a difference on ice. Nothing does.
Its obvious none of those vehicles have Electronic Stability Control which would have locked the spinning wheel and send torque to the other wheels that have traction. Looking that the date it was from 2005 so none had any Stability Control since it was not mandatory until 2012
Yeah but that Carolla pulled it out of the hat
0:40 gotta love people who thing flooring it is the only option :)
Everyone knows the faster you go the more traction you get! Icy out? Just floor it!
When in doubt, throttle out...brrap
+themikester223 He's the only one that made it up there though, so he has that on you.
Because it's a freaking woman driving :D
This video should be called "Typical Dodge Owners" ... you only need those 3 words to describe this video haha
What's that so posted to mean
Doesn't anybody have 4wd
@Angel Bulldog You're slowly getting more snow each year like Georgia. In case you haven't notice that snow belt keeps heading south more each year.
Where are your CHAINS for the tires, you'll get better traction. Yeah, I know old school.
Its not legal in most states.
I remember this day. I was in kindergarten and a lot of my class mates had to spend the night at school
Don't they have snow tires in america or are they too lazy or poor to put them on there car
lazy, that's the case
Well im guessing that this doesnt happen often there
Caleb Levasseur Yeah, we normally never have car crashes. Rare, sometimes though cars wheels slip
+Pero «Dega» Perhan ehh, yes
+Pero “Dega” Peruan i have michelin pa4 winter ice tyres on and never got stuck on ice or snow well i have quattro too but winter tyres make a difference also for stopping
You would think they would know not to floor the gas pedal!
Are American went to Moon or Mars .. you are not able to solve problems of driving on snow city .. pay to me to solve it easily
I moved to Raleigh 2 months b4 this ice storm, this city was in gridlock smh. The school gave my kindergarten daughter to a stranger and my 12yr got home at 11pm that night. I was in Greensboro when it started snowing and I left as soon as I could, but when I hit Raleigh it was ridiculous, they were not ready. Thank God I’m from VA and use to ice and my passengers were from NY so we did well handling ourselves, it was the other drivers that we had to worry about 😩😩
that grand Cherokee was a 2wd
Hey UA-cam, why do we have a video of an ice storm taped in 2005 in Raleigh, NC being shown on 8/29/2019???
Ha. ha Murica :D Why so much throttle, you must be gently with steering wheel and throttle, not much gas, no sudden direction change even in small degrees ;)
Buy a Audi Quattro is your best bet for ice and snow🇬🇧🇬🇧💯percent😎😎😎😎🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Crazy seeing all these people who have no idea how to drive on snow and ice. That’s a good road day here in Michigan in the middle of winter.
The footage they are using is older than UA-cam
Hi boss, I won't be coming in today....sick to my stomach....(doesn't need to know why). Good grief.
Prob helpful if you take some air out your tires
And a fun time was had by all.
why people won't drive like this?State the emergency mine you can not drive🤔
Gli americani esaltati con il cambio automatico e non sanno manco che cazzo sono le gomme invernali
why dont these vehicles have ABS,,VSC and TRC????
corolla is a champ lol
I live in north Carolina and they do not know how to drive!!!!!
ok Vermonter talking.... just because you have winter tires, does not mean your " all clear" studded is the way to go...... people in the south are not used to this kind of weather.. when theres ice, stay home!!!!
Hey people with the pickups. Put it in 4wd. Duh.
american is wild.
Out baan contest ？
Out baan contest ？
this is why i stay inside when ice is on the ground. I call out of work and legally they can't fire you because it's unsafe to drive
heather dreese you won’t say this if you are in “ first response” or similar. Cause they have to show up to work regardless what kind of advised weather is. Maybe you won’t get fired if you don’t show up to work, but you will be in disciplinary investigation still.
I guess this City never heard of salt or Gravel before!!
In fact we do a pretty good job of brining the roads when winter weather is coming, but it couldn't be done that day because that mess started out as rain.
stupid drivers
icy roads ok
Tires!
@@adamblackmore9234 yes they all have summer tires if they had winter tires there would be nothing to film🤷♂️
If I was there I be putting down pea gravel
No I didnt want to say if you winter tires on everything is okay but it helps quite alot in germany
When all else fails... redline it!
Looked like Saturn had an eclipse
i agree.... in snow.. But,.. ice is a whole different ball game!
🤣🤣🤣👌🏻✅ good old W.J
Bro I know that street number 1
Jeep with the Gansta lean
It looks like 2006
A bit out of sequence.
Hm maybe the jeep at 1:00 SHOULD'NT be in 4wd.
To me it looks like his front tires keep losing traction because they're spinning to fast.
👍🙀👍👍👍
Should be changed to "n" to control and stop the car. Behold the Cherokee, but the rear wheels brakes still pushing
Jordi Palacín wut
Barry danger
Be cautious!
0:58 .. nice try :D
.
.
jny
I'll tell ya something right now.....if you slip the vehicle into neutral before you ever apply the brakes, the vehicle will almost stop for you.... Try it once and you'll never forget it.
Is there no law that you have to put on winter tires?
If there was one the how about you pay for those tires then. In case you don't know many people can't afford winter tires.
No, there is no need for them in North Carolina.
love two wheel drive trucks
ugh why da hell would car companies do that for trucks
Two wheel drive jeep what the hell?!
+Dakota Jaegle It's being used as a car in North Carolina on paved roads that rarely get snow. There's a LOT of 2WD SUVs and trucks sold in the South.
+snowrocket North Carolina gets a lot of clay mud.
I remember one house being for sale that was outside of the city, probably 6-7 2wd vehicles got stuck in the clay viewing it.
All these fwd cars, useless in snow
I'd have to disagree with you on that one, just the other day I drove from my house in Boone to Bethel (near the Tennessee line) during a snowstorm, the roads had not been plowed yet because it came in so fast and I was able to handle it in my heavy FWD Malibu with a few inches of snow on the road. In fact, I had more traction on the windy backroads than I had on the main roads that had already had some work done on them. I was going about 35 at times and had no issues and did not feel any danger what so ever.
Fwd is so much better. Slap some nice tires a to b baby
LOL are you kidding? We don't even HAVE winter tires here.
This is North Carolina, not Canada.
dat american inteligence, full gas on ice haha
I feel bad for people driving on snow
Another reason why winter sucks!
"All-season" tires suck.
+lfsracer79 Low end all seasons suck.
The ones I have outperform several sets of snow tires I have tried.
FCFordLord
riiight...
Да, с таким отношением к выбору резины "День жестянщика" затянется на всю зиму.
That Corolla go thru the ice ❤️ the old Corolla
