those have to be the worst tires some one could buy

That first guy had to have been giving it gas still.

just strikes me as hilarious how all these imbeciles continue to think their car will be the one to make it through OK when they see all these other cars wrecked along the street next to them... lol.

I would have made it. My truck is awesome in bad weather.

Was driving half a year in this conditions back in Russia. had no problems.
had tires with nailes zo... not allowed in NJ

Obviously the 1st main road they are on a hill embankment, ice will do dammage , but they were all sliding to easily for it to be tires only.

u'd figure someone who lived in the area would be standing on the corner & telling cars not to go down that road... idiots i tell ya... i'm sure the insurance companies had a good time sorting through all the claims that day.

Yup I was laughing at that too!!!!!!!!!

I bet this was taken down south somwhere,don't know how to deal with the snow and ice.

That was nuts! It was on a hill side somewhere and judging from the many cars on those 'streets' and the person videoing it from high above, I'd have to say it was a good size City. Didn't look like some of the cars had treads on. I'm going to see if I can locate it on youtube and find out were that was.

Found it!

Portland, OR

Just type in 'auto ice' in the search. It's the first one.

It was taken on the 16th of this month (January)

I figured it was the Trail Blazers trying to get home after a game.

Hey, I was trying to get some more of those videos over here, but could not figure it out. How do you link a video from youtube to here?

just do a quote of the original post & you'll see how it was done... you have to type in the URL of the video in between the youtube tags.

Ah' thanks TMS!
