Oh man, I've had this question for years,

First one is $50 and usually you can get it waived if you get your car inspected within a month.

I've never gone beyond that but I think the second is around $100.

Oddly I borrowed the Subaru because the roads were slippery and once on the road it was good. At the bottom of my hill I would have been better off with my ancient VW Jetta with 5 speed. I met this hill in 1967 so I go very slow but sometimes that just doesn't matter. Big storms are okay but those odd moments where nature greases the wheels can be entertaining.

Yes that's exactly what I was told: wind blown ice @ Tremblant. But at least good coverage. I haven't been in two years, but the last time I was there it was phenomenal for snowboarding. I'd like to try Le Massif this year, too.

Front wheel drive with snow tires is more than ample but I would only do it if it either had a good traction control system or a limited slip differential. Older 95-early 00s volvos are good for this. My wagon has a 4 speed auto with winter mode and my sedan that I'm rebuilding has a 5 speed manual with a limited slip differential. They far exceed any awd with all seasons I've ever owned. Best vehicle I've ever owned was a 03 outback with snow tires it was almost unfair how good it was but they rot like cray up in New England.

Edit: a civic is honestly perfect as long as you have snow tires. Light cars with narrow snow tires are your best friend.

I know that but they were locked and sliding, just a very slippery moment.

No I have not been to Tremblant this year. I heard that this is pretty icy. I think that Le Massif has the best snow conditions right now... I'm going there next week end.

r u sure about that? I thought the first ticket is well over $100 and also requires you to prove you got an inspection within a month.

<pulls up seat> We’ve been going to Cockadoodle for years, they’re good af. But I’ve wondered about this new place, would love to hear some hot takes.

Craigslist or Facebook marketplace.

Once in 1998 I drove from Norwich to Brattleboro and passed 9 Subarus off the road. My Corolla did just fine.

I moved here two years ago and just about everyone I've talked to has been lovely. There's a few of those MAGA flag trucks that drive around a lot but I just chuckle and go about my business. The dog park is awesome. This town definitely doesn't fit its old stereotype!

It would be interesting to compare an AWD car with all seasons against a RWD car with good snow tires. I’m still driving an older RWD car and I get around with few difficulties unless it’s really shitty out but when it gets nasty I’m definitely not having a good time. That said I need to bite the bullet and buy something used out of state, the terrible gas mileage is too low and the wasted gas ain’t good for the environment.

I drive a civic in good snow tires. I do not fear the snow. I ski and go to work regardless. I do know how to drive in the snow though. But ya it should be fine if you have snow tires and have some semblance of snow driving skills.

It worked. Good enough to pay for the next setup. It had raised flues that seeped, not a great steam hood, and a soldered finish pan that got overheated and warped and we had to have un-soldered and welded. Had decorated cast iron doors for the fire box that leaked. But made the next person happy too, I'm sure!

Imagine blaming orange man for the mail. Tdr is real in the Vermont sub

Anyone tried any of the vegetarian stuff there? I’ve only been in on weekends/after they run so haven’t had a chance to try

Not sure if it’s still there but there was an Indian place in a gas station in Rutland. Last time I went was about ten years ago though

The anti-lock system will modulate the brakes many more times than a human is capable of and only modulate when slippage is detected.

I think was agree that slowing down/bleeding speed before hills and hard braking is needed is beneficial.

Based on the OP’s post, I don’t see them as skilled a winter driver with the knowledge to anticipate a slide.

Vermonts inspection laws might prevent you from owning a 7 year old car

I have had the most success selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace. I will usually cross post the link to Front Porch Forum. I have cross posted to Craigslist a few times but the sale was always through Facebook. I have bought things from Craigslist, I bought boats there twice.

It's pretty good right now, and will be even better after this week. Definitely worth the visit. Have you been to Tremblant this year? I'm planning to go up second week of Feb and I'm hearing mixed things about conditions.

It looks like three people looking to capitalize of feel good liberalism and virtue signaling. It’s a toothless statement that seeks to extort the tax payer through their ‘training’ and ‘workshops’. Fucking cringe

Pumping anti lock brakes before they start rumbling, IS, necessary though... and you can figure out when they will rumble if you know what your doing and can assess the road way in front of you.

Still blaming orange man eh. You can’t blame Orange man or slow joe for this. Well maybe you can blame Joe. The issue is no one is working and we are still dealing with a labor shortage. Everything from the truckers driving the mail, the workers sorting, the consumers still buying everything online further stressing the chain
