Loved this place when I had a brief job in Morrisville.

I drive a 2011 Honda civic - good tires and good comfort level/experience in winter weather and you’re good. I live on a dirt road and in a higher elevation. That said, there are days I wish I had something else…but it’s doable.

I drove a Toyota Corolla with snow tires very successfully in winter in VT for 8 years. (E120 generation 2003-2008). My specific Corolla was a 2004 with 5 speed manual that didn't even have antilock brakes.

Yeah, I was told a while ago that they just don’t have enough people to deliver the mail or sort it I guess. I had been waiting on a package that said it was out for delivery for a full week and I was sure they lost it but they just didn’t have anyone to deliver it.

I brought friends of mine from out of state to Rickie’s and they were so sketched out until they ate the food. Years later they still rave about their gas station Indian food.

We've missed a day here and there down here in Williamstown. All due, it appears, to not being able to hire enough staff and then folks getting sick.

We got away with a Mazda 3 with studded tires for a long time in Vermont. With the right tires you should be ok.

Consider that a lot of Vermont wasn’t on the grid till the 1930’s when the Federal Government instituted the Rural Electrification Program . At that time , most of the State was still open fields and pasture and the early lines were installed the easiest routes which often didn’t follow roads. The end result is that a lot of our current grid in now buried in the grown-in forrest and often hard to access. These sections are very costly to keep cleared. The trimming crews show up on our farm every few years to hack back the growth along these lines. Storm damage repairs are time consuming and due to demographics, our isolated lines are often the last to be fixed. Such is life on the back roads of Vermont. Losing power 2-3 times a year is expected. It will be 100 years before our lines are buried.

$50 for an inspection, first ticket for not having a sticker is $50.

As long as you average less than 1 ticker a year you come out ahead skipping inspection lol.

Facebook marketplace. I used to use Craigslist frequently but FB marketplace killed it.

Exactly. It amazes me how many people don't understand this and/or own an AWD car with no real reason to besides being convinced it's "safer", when honestly an AWD car could be more dangerous if you end up going faster because you have more traction than a FWD car while accelerating.

You cant be antiracist and remove commitments to equity.

Good. Why MUST everyone bow down and pledge themselves as knights of wokeness? It's ok to simply exist. You can be against racism without proclaiming it...

That’s pretty racist itself

Dedicated snow tires and you'll be fine in 99% of places with front wheel drive. The last 1% you probably want to avoid with all wheel drive anyway.

Dat place is dope. And if you bring in your own dish, they tend to give you an extra large scoop.

I drive a Chevy Volt 2017. It came with shitty cheap all season tires that just slid all over the road and turned the car into a death trap. I figured it was just bc the car is heavy and FWD only.

I then put Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on the car and it's a night and day difference in drivability. I'm still waiting for some really bad conditions to test them out, but I can drive confidently without slipping in conditions that would have been too dangerous with the old tires.

Also, don't drive like a maniac. Leave space between you and other vehicles, and drive slow. It's amazing how much more dangerous things can get when there are people on the road driving like a*holes.

So yeah, good tires and good technique are the most important driving tips. So long as you have both of those, a cheap car will be fine in the weather.

All cars have 4 wheel stop

I spent my first 27 years or so with 2WD and studded snow tires and did just fine. That was through the Valentines Day blizzard and several others while having to drive over Orange Heights in the middle if the night when Rt 302 is unplowed. It’s all about knowing how to drive in snow.

Can confirm. I still have my civic from 2000 and it has been amazing. Snow tires in the winter and I’ve never had an issue.

It’s called Nepali Cuisine. The samosas are excellent.

As long as you have a way of keeping corrosion under control, that should work well. I’d recommend not buying anything that’s been in Vermont for it’s 7-10 years on the road and buying something that old from a southern state and bringing it here to maximize its useful service life.

Yeah, civic w good snows is fine.

Oh wow. Sounds like someone planned very poorly. That must be so frustrating for the mail people
