M3 Performance crushes the driveway

[spinbackwards]

Howdy,

It's not fair to gripe then not give compliments. That's what Trump does. Had to get that in.

Anyway, here's a video of our car going up the driveway. It's the first day all winter Craig hasn't been here early to plow. He's out getting some pow. I'll be out later.

As a backgrounder, when I first watched Al Gore's movie I sold one of our Audi's and bought a Prius. There's a little more to the story. I bought the Audi when I was still drinking and carrying on. The Old Lady didn't approve -- of the color.

The first day the driveway had not near as much snow as you see in the video, I got stuck. I couldn't make it up the driveway. And it was a powder day. I was pissed.

I sold the Prius the next day, bought an S6 Avant. So much for saving the planet. Every time I see an Imola S4 Avant I get nostalgic.

I have to say. I was a little worried today. Just a little.

I turned on Creep and Slip. Probably didn't need to. The car crushed the driveway. Whew. Now I don't have to sell it. ;-)

Our driveway is steep. The UPS guy won't go down it in the winter, neither will my friends with pickups. The tow truck has been here a few times, towing out visitors who didn't listen to me and park up top.

I'm impressed. The Old Lady didn't even give it the juice. She just tapped the pedal, the car went right up the driveway. Almost no slip. My short term memory was a toast a long time ago. But as the Old Lady says, it's as good as our last Audi - A7 w/stage 4 tune.

So there you go.

Now if I just could Elon to fix the wipers. ;-)

Here's pics of the Audi's I mentioned. I didn't have the Prius long enough to take any pictures.

what's up with that code/iframe embed???

when you said your car crushed the driveway, I pictured concrete cracking as the car rolled over it.

 

[spinbackwards]

I just fixed it.
Did you watch the vid?
"Crush". Young people's term. Better than saying "awesome", I figure.

 

[Dangerous Fish]

I thought it was "pwned". Or is that too old now?

The only thing missing from that garage is the Family Truckster in Metallic Pea.

 

[Bill Price]

WOW! 3" of snow? really? That's all you got?

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"

 

[JoshPA]

What tires are you running there?

Curtain......? there's a curtain?

 

[spinbackwards]

What tires are you running there?

Here:
Model 3 Performance - Colorado Mountains - 18 setup

I doubt you'll want to read the whole thread. It's painful.

I put on 18's, Nokian R3's. Here:
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 - Northern Comfort / Nokian Tires

Super happy with them.

Right.

Hey look at it this way. The guy who posted he wants to start a class action suit, go after Tesla because Tesla changed the price, makes me look like a rocket scientist.

You got me there, haha!

You lost me when you said you believed what Al Gore said in a movie. LOL!

We have a ~250' long driveway and a couple really steep parts, especially at the bottom. We also tend to get a lot of freezing rain on the "warm days" of winter, and then it stays below freezing so you just have 2" or more of ice in your driveway all winter long. People get stuck on it all the time. I was always impressed how well my Volt did once I put snow tires on, it'd struggle but it'd manage to clamber up. I'd call it "The Mountain Goat". My P3D- on the other hand? Effortless. Its no mountain goat. Its The Snow Leopard.

How dare you sir! why insulting the "Father of the internet" is blasphemous! hahaha!

So wait, you watched the Al Gore movie and believed it? I’m still stuck on that.

So wait, you watched the Al Gore movie and believed it? I’m still stuck on that.

It's all a blur.

Seems like I was sitting in the movie, thinking it might be a good time to bring an end to the psychedelics I'd grown fond of, in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. I figured all the trips I was taking were bad for the planet. I felt guilty about it all. It was terrible.

But then, I came to my senses. I used the depression from the movie -- "We're toast" -- as an excuse to carry on.

To justify it all I bought a Prius. Now at least, I figured, all my trips were Green. I gave myself a big pat on the back, off I went.

So wait a minute! You supplemented Al Gore's fixed income by going to his movie and then, after much reflection and much lysergic acid diethylamide, you made reparations by buying a Prius, selling it the next day, buying an S6 and then a M3? It all makes sense now. Huh........never made the connection, Mr. Obvious!

 

[gilscales]

I mean it has solar, even if it only covers 6% of his massive electric bill, haha, this guy is such a hypocrite
