A few inches of snow, and the country stops.
Back in the 70s and 80s when 6" of snow in the winter was commonplace most years, and schools were never closed as "snow days" hadn't been invented yet, there was rarely such disruption.
Watching the local news, it seems they are showing lots of 3 series beemers wheelspinning away.
So that got me thinking (in the vain hope that people aren't getting even more stupid)…
We know BMWs are universally shite in snow. Always have been. Yet other RWD cars seem to be less prone to getting stuck. Is it because beemers have rock hard suspension and wide tyres, much like many FWD modern shitboxes. We know wide tyres are generally poor in the wintery weather, runflats are poor in the wintery conditions, and rock hard suspension is poor in wintery conditions.
Is it simply this? Or are people just incapable?
