i drove a ford f-450 superduty wheel lift tow truck through snow deeper than that dude. back in 96 here in south jersey.

I drove a Chevy Cavalier through snow deeper than that in Iowa last winter.  All ya need is a running start and a good head of steam.   :D

EDIT: And a shovel...

That does look like a blast though.

When I had my 96 F-150, around Jan. 2nd of 1999, we had a tremendous snow storm come through Metro Detroit.   The snow on I-96 when I left work, was at the top of my bumper (sitting on 31" BFG Mud Terrains).   When I pulled into our old apartment complex, it was up to the crest of my hood (almost 4'?).   For over a week the snow was about the depth of my tires.   I had a blast with that 5.0L, 5 speed for a couple of weeks.

I skipped through most this thread...

   went around a corner at 40 mph dumb yes but shouldnt have caused a crash but some jackoff came around the otherway goin faster and in my lane i chose to hit the guard rail instead of him still dk who it was he never stopped.

A car heavy with three friends in it would need to be going an arseton faster than 40mph (you're claimed initital speed) to clear a 20ft hard bank (and I'm assuming this bank was "soft" too...) AND get air....  O.o  Also going that fast you would of had time to of slowed down to less than 30 or 25 before exiting the pavement and hitting the bank, assuming you weren't accelerating through the turn, which unless it was a steep uphill grade you shouldn't of been doing with a car full of people...  ok, I'll stop acting like your dad now.

You're young and will soon learn it often takes two idiots if not one for an accident to happen, even to one car.  Nothing you can do about it except not be an idiot and anticipate everyone else as one, toejam happens, and a lot on the road.

"relax dude. My dad is a television repair man. He has this ULTIMATE set of tools. We can fix it."



You wanna go fast? Take it to the track.
Run yourself into a guard rail and kill yourself for all I care. Aint no hair off my butt one way or the other.
But running into me and killing me would upset me greatly.

I'm not one to judge nor am I going to be mean if I do know the fact. Better property lost than life.
