I'm in Bilmore area in Asheville and it's still coming down. I'm new to the area and would love to test my new ko2's out! Anyone in this area trying to play in the snow?
 
Take it out to the Biltmore and turn hard right cut through them fields and have a ball. Or just spend like 400 dollars for a few hours on the land Rover drive course.
 
We took the dog car out for some fun today. Then it pulled my Dodge up the driveway. True story...:driver:

I rode my 4wheeler around in the middle of a freezing rain downpour with nothing covering my face. That was dumb. But it was fun too. :D
 
I went to the office this morning and no one was there so I tore up the parking lot for a bit...

Went to work this morning, drove the HMMWV to work. Probably the only time it is possible to pass cars on the highway in a 6.2 Hmmwv with no overdrive... After work went and played some in the HMMWV, pretty boring as it lacks power (never put it in 4x4), but it will slide around some.

Parked the HMMWV and got the HEMTT out to see how it would do, it was fun but is really odd kicking the back out because it is hard to 'feel' the back kicked out.

I drove my new 2015 Silverado 4x4, up to near Lincolnton, this morning, to get a zipper replaced in my CJs door window. Very little traffic, on 27, & then I had about 10 miles of back roads to travel. Back home around lunch, after driving around looking for any Food place open. Then this evening, I just Had to get out again, & headed to the Waffle House! I got to say, I've been amazed at the traction, & control, of the Silverado! It's got the "automatic" position transfercase, which I used, along with limiting the tranny to 5-6 gear. Running Goodyear 18" ATs. I had to Push it, to spin the wheels, & brake Hard, to feel the ABS. No Deep snow, but a nice cover of snow/ice mix. This baby even with the 6.2 gasser, will Launch in the slick stuff. And it Stops, amazingly Quick. This is the Most "controllable" vehicle, on snow/ice, I've Ever driven! :D

Did some drifting around the neighborhood. Round abouts are fun when it's slick. At least it wash a little bit of the mud off the tires.
 
Glad everyone's gettin out in it. I want to get back in it today. Anyone around the Asheville wheeling in the snow? Close areas to go around these parts?

Parkway and forrest rds I tried to hit were closed.
 
Screw it, I just pulled mine in the workshop at the house and cleaned it up real quick and got it mostly running. Went out and had a blast with my kids, one on his and the other rode with me. He'll be getting his own once my older one upgrades. Guess we'll need to get my wifey one too, she was jealous. :lol:
