If you're gonna race a $40+k vehicle in the snow against a kid on an ATV, you've obviously got more money than brains! I would just volunteer to host the party!

Don't know about that......
The guys on the FX board say I win cause the course has no turns........
Besides, I've got a better TV set and his son's gonna dig out my driveway before the reace :evillaugh:
BTW. I'm a pretty good negotiator. I paid a lot less than $40K for it.

Well unless you paid $25K for it then you are still crazy! With that much snow and stock tires on your over priced Nissan, I'd put my money on the kid!

I called it off. Got a ride on his ATV and it was no contest. Wasn't gonna push the speed but had no idea how fast an ATV really is.

It was no contest Susan.
The only way I could have won would have been to get the speed up pretty high (30 to 50 mph) toward the end of the run and that just wouldn't have been safe. Gettin hurt or hurting someone doing something like that would've just been stupid.
Somtimes ya' just got to lay your cards down and hand your chips over.
