Default Whats the most snow you've driven your rex through?

We have over 18 inchs here. Just took my crx out! Wow! I have cheap all season tires on it..but for what it is its amazing! Got stuck once in a drift and had to rock between reverse and 1st but other than that its great! Using the handbrake to make it around turns makes it alot more effective. Any body else use the rex as a snow mobile?

I can't wait to take it to the local parking lot tomorrow that'll have no cars for a little spin. I've never been in deep snow but it's crazy fun on a sheet of ice.

all i got to say is my profile says FL just i just moved here but up in north VA we get a good bit of snow, blizzards kick *** too. i learned to drift in the snow and eveyone learns alot about car control and throttle control in the snow but anyway its fun to put ice stud tires on the front so u can catch mad traction and slide the *** end with ease. If your careful u can get through some snow, but we all know that if the snow level excedes the bottom of your car your not gonna make it through unless your hauling ***. Good all around tires is key if u dont get the ice studded tires. ally my V pattern performnce tires sucked in snow but a good regular pattern all weather tire will be ok for a little snow. Oh and another bonus about studded tires is u can watch your stupid friends doing burnouts with them and sparks and asphault fly "Woo hoooo look at that pavement fly" - Homer Simpson

Deep enough to have it come over the hood and onto the windshield.

It's never snowed that much again since I have had the car, and I intend to stay home next time it's gonna snow that hard. I -had- to to go home.

I wanna take out my hatch in the snow, we got a good 6-8 inches. Thats enough to play around in just don't wanna screw anything up, plus it helps to have tags on it.

We've all most likely done it, but thats one of the most horrid things one can do to a car.

same thing happened to my cuz and i. we were playing in a empty parking lot, snow was so thick we didnt know there was a curb/median... he didnt wanna take out his chains(so he could get his money back), so we pushed and pushed.. finally it budged.


but rockin the trans is so bad

Bet it was fun though!!!!

I took my rex through about 3'' of snow once. Azenis are not made for driving in the snow. I only went around 20 mph tops so I was at super dangerous. Another time I took my car with the azenis over compacted snow. That was really crazy and pretty fun after it was all over.
