I just bought a Dodge Charger and I am already worrying about it. Thankfully I am not getting it until April but my god is that going to suck to drive in this type of weather.

 

winter tires are a huge help on high-powered RWD cars.

Mine didnt help much when I slid into oncoming traffic and got hit head on at 70 mph.

 

 

But generally they help, just buy blizzaks.

 

 

And this winter is the last of my old snowblower, I'm going to 2-stage next year.

An aftershock of snow during rush-hour is not what I wanted this evening. It will take me about 3 and half hours to get home for sure and I am not even exaggerating.

I'm in Milwaukee right now. After my drive back to the hotel, I decided that if I ever lived in the North, I'd spend the extra money for a car with 4 wheel drive. Probably a Tahoe.

Why the hell would you do that?

so it's been 40 degrees two days straight and has been 8 days since the snow. DIBS IS OVER. ITS OVER, YOU DONT JUST GET TO CLAIM A SPOT ON A PUBLIC STREET FOREVER.

 

It's behavior like this that makes me completely immune to the sob stories over digging out for 30 minutes only to lose your spot over a trip to the drug store. Maybe you should have walked there.

Because this is America, the land of the free and home of the brave?

Well, at least we dont live in New York/Boston. (most of us)

My brother who lives in lakeview stated that someone removed someone's dibs garbage from the street and watched someone park there only to get their tires slashed.

 

I'm glad I use a zip car and my real car just sits around collecting dust.

True. I was just surprised he would get a car that is a dodge lol.

True that, Boston is just getting rocked, looks like they have up to 5 feet of snow on the ground

Seeing someone put dibs on a spot that my wife cleaned out made me want to throw them in the yard, but I figured the poor sap who parked there might take a punishment.

 

All the more reason Dibs should end.

I probably would see red if I caught someone doing that. I'm surprised you didn't light him up.

Unfortunately did not see anyone, just that there is now a huge garbage can and chair in that spot.

So because you don't believe in dibs, you didn't put anything there?

These past 2 winters have me regretting buying a Ford Focus, love the car in everything but snow (it's just too low/light). If I wasn't able to work from home I would be screwed during these storms.

So because you don't believe in dibs, you didn't put anything there?

 

Correct.

Correct.

 

Well attend a mayoral debate and bring up, "Which one of you guys are going to get rid of dibs?"

I contacted my alderman. It is a losing battle that I am fighting via example. I will have a garage before I win this.

What neighborhood do you reside in?

Logan Square

Ah I'm not too far from there now. I'm in Old Irving Park/Avondale.

 

Do you have a lot of permit parking near your place or is it mostly street?

If I still lived in the city I wouldn't be opposed to start an anonymous group that removes all dibs from the city streets outside of the reasonable time period of the dib. Like today for example. After the snow has been cleared and there hasnt been an accumulating snowfall in a weeks time there is no reason why everyone still stakes claim to the parking spots they have dibs on. In a lot of neighborhoods they still hold dibs after all snow is gone. Its a freaking joke.

There is some permit by the cali blue, but that's 5 or so blocks north. It's all street parking. There's occasionally shortages on our block, but for the most part it's easy to park. Except when people claim 40 feet for their sedan via DIBS.

Oh hey, predicts for another 6 inches of lake effect snow tomorrow. Joy.
