Winter Storm Cora 2025 | Slip Sliding Jeep Style
As Winter Storm Cora passed thru leaving multiple inches of snow in her wake, I was itching find a spot close by to do a little slip sliding around. The Traction Control works surpisingly well. Once turned off, the fun starts. The video looks boring, but I can assure you, it had alot of slip sliding going on.

95 Seconds Of Frozen Lake Fairfield | Sapphire , NC

With the crisp mountain air biting at my face, I launched my DJI Mavic Air 2 into the bone-chilling 9-degree morning. Below, Lake Fairfield lay partially frozen, its surface a patchwork of glistening ice and flowing water. I carefully maneuvered my drone just a foot above the lake, the camera capturing the intricate patterns of the ice, the delicate ripples of the water, and the majestic mounta...

Below, Sapphire Valley Resort lay blanketed in a light dusting of snow, the slopes glistening under the winter sun. My drone ascended, offering breathtaking aerial views. The winding roads leading to the resort lay a path thru the white ground while the ski lifts stood eerily still, awaiting th...

Beautiful timelapse. The sun shining between the trees is a gorgeous sight.
i’m doing this tmr but reverse, gonna go across the mountain on nc-215 then going through rosman then to pickens. hoping it goes smooth
You coming over top of mountain from Waynesville? I've done that drive many times, but from Rosman side dropping into Waynesville. Its a great drive for sure. Very scenic, especially this time of year, on a clear day, shoudl see for miles. ruclips.net/video/ohRjZInPrxs/видео.html
Just drive this man this is the only video I’ve found on this road really hidden gem
@@grant1497 Buck Creek is another one... Check out War Woman Road as well. fantastic
A Superb Winter Wonderland ‼️🤩🤩🤩Great Drone footage👍💯
yes it was
YAY‼️‼️‼️AMAZING 😂🤣AND FUN👍💯
it was a blast. taking advantage of the first snow accumulation since we have owned the house
Howdy Neighbor
well hello there, are you in the sapphire area and just have water craft down on jocassee? How did you fair with the snow?
@ we’re good to go and we’re fixing to take our jet skis on Jocassee in a bit. Hopefully Wright’s Creek or Laurel will have a bunch of icicles on the sides
Where is this?
127 Cherokee Trail, Sapphire, NC 28774 sapphirevalleyresorts.com/ Everything to get you to the area is above..
I was scrolling and found this nice video and then I saw who created it! Cool video.
I can smell the sawdust from here.
[ never thought i would get a chance to work with something like this, so i am thankful to the ranch for letting me. We volunteer at this ranch, But they could have easily said , sorry cant let you work with this stuff. Im amazed everytime we mill a log into useable lumber for projects.
I used to live in Etowah. Do you know how did Etowah fare after the hurricane?
Hey there, I'm not sure how they made out. Some friends of ours have family in Hendersonville they said that most of the major issues were on north side of Hendersonville. I know alot of areas were under boil water orders for a few weeks. We are down in the Sapphire area. Hopefully you were able to get some information on Etowah. Sorry couldn't be more helpful
@@stephanorourke Thank you. I plan on visiting next spring so I'll take a drive.
Who makes it
i believe she got it thru moss miata. Strictly for looks. It's decent quality. Car just needed something extra looks wise. Car doesn't get tracked, no autoX, just some spirited mountain driving where we live.
Looks slick my RF Is white that's the exact spoiler in glossy black I'm looking for 😮moss miata thanks
I want to go see this craziness to think a CPL old guys build these in the barn behind there house is crazy and how much air presser it takes to shoot a pumpkin that far is nuts this is just one really big potato gun
it is exactly a giant potato gun. The guys that were building these are engineers by day. In between sessions, you were able to go walk around the contestant field and check out some of the equipment. Alot of thought went into these things thats for sure. I have some other videos up close of them, its impressive for sure.
I have the same problem 2017 mustang gt
i never figured it out. I actually havent even listend for it in a long time. Ive become to realize these cars make some really strange noises for not particular reason at all
How are they I just ordered some because my stock ones blew out in the rear
i like them alot. It was definitely worth doing the upgrade on them from stock. I also added the camber adjustment plates and the billet aluminum rear mounts. Apparently there isnt enough adjustment on the front especially after doing the lower springs. so the camber plates fix that scenario. On the rear, if I recall, there would be some modification required on the stock mounts to make the adjustables fit. But double check me on that, i could be misremembering. I had Steeda do the entire install and then alignment. I lived close to where the Florida facility was.
Windows down, rippin through the twistys...feels like freedom.
There is alot of it in this area of North Carolina. Just about every road you drive out here is. Tail Of Dragon is most well known, but there are some roads here that rival it. It is bliss thats for sure, just being able to go for a drive in the Mountains.
No way. You passed me the other day on this trip. Wild!
what were you driving? did I catch it on the video? I am assuming i caught you on the camera....
Beauties ❤
You got that right
Its such a great place and change to the week going to the ranch and helping out there. Just being around these amazing animals is peaceful. The big ones are Percherons. They are huge. A touch shorter than a Clydesdale. They are gentle giants. The black one is the son of the white one directly behind him..
Was it the throttle body
never actually figured it out, i used a mechanics stethoscope, sounded more like it was coming from the intake manifold, but i havent heard it in a while. will try to check this weekend if its still there, i only noticed it because i was checking something under the hood when car was running.
Gabriella wish you will find my trace here❤
its a beautiful area of the country
I love your jeep
Thank you, its actually the missus, i just get to enjoy it regularly, mine is the Mustand on the channel
...that sounds so good!
i like it, has a nice grumble
Nice walk!!
Yes it was!
Cool cool man
Was so much fun
Nice to see a couple enjoying their time together. Looks like fun.😊
We are the biggest kids on the slope
Fun!
was crazy amount of fun
Olivia 🎉❤😮🤬💩
it was definitely a party on the slope . lol
I've become a subscriber! I encourage everyone to do the same - we all need some peace and tranquility amid all the chaos we're constantly bombarded with... 🌞
ill do my best to keep providing some of that, we love venturing out here in our little slice of heaven.
Nice!
was a beautiful morning here, but most mornings are pretty amazing around this area of WNC
Thank you for a breath of fresh air from all those doom and gloom videos... Classic song.
it is to beautiful up here for all that, lots of amazing driving roads here in WNC
やはり名曲🤣
ありがとう、私たちはそれが美しいと思います
When installing the rear billet mounts, what order those the top bearings go?
honestly, i didnt do this install myself, i took it to steeda and had them do it and set it up. wish I could help on that one
@@stephanorourke thanks for your reply, it’s crazy how there’s no videos or the fact that steeda provides instructions… I figured it out but for a first timer it would be very easy to get the top and bottom bearing confused since they look similar… it also sucks that they don’t provide what torque you need for the bolts.
glad you got it figured out. I had done the lowering springs myself about a year prior, which for some might not be a big deal, but I was overly cautious as I didnt want to launch a spring into my face when compressing.. The parts in this video, were not all of them. I also ordered the Stop The Hop Kit from Steeda, but had that sent to the shop and set up shop time. I could have gotten it all done in my garage, but I was going to have to have it aligned anyway, so figured just let them install and deal with the rest. Also had them do a some service work on the car as I was prepping it for its move to Western North Carolina. Glad you got it sorted out, wish I could have been more help and agreed on instruction set.
How do you like the ride of the car now?
Heaven on earth
it sure is
Front bumper is 6 inches off the ground the entire video...stop!
Luckily the only part that actually scrapes is the rubber part on the under tray. As long as the entry is slow none of the bumper actually touches the pavement.
The Dragons Tail, where you can't have anymore fun than the car ahead of you.
very true, people should move over when available to do so, but most people dont. We had a guy thinking he was in the Pikes Peak hill climb so close to our bumper I could barely see the emblem on his hood. First "SAFE" oppurtunity, we moved over so he could tailgate the guy in front of us. I was waiting to see him slide over the side of the mountain and tumble down into a fireball. It's a fun drive, but I wouldn't classify it as the most challenging, just the most well known.
I had my 2004 Miataspeed on the Tail of the Dragon a few years back The motorcycles held me up all the time 😅
ha
Dream to drive a car
some day
Is that all your cars
yes
Beautiful nature
thank you
Driving 😊
yep, just out for a drive
Great items let go open
yeah, she liked it
Nice
Looking forward to getting it installed.
Beautiful video
Thank you
Mustang 😊
yeppers
Beautiful car sound
I agree!
Nice dashboard, have a good day
having a little trouble if you are being sarcastic (which is all good) or serious. LOL...so in an effort to reply accurately, yeah was tough, cause didnt want to focus on the camera that much or if serious , thanks , she added the little red rings around the air vents.. Pick the appropriate reply. LOL
@@stephanorourke I wasn’t? Do you want me to say, "nice road you got there", i was just complimenting your dashboard, I liked the red rings
@@Armoured-Pizza-Carrier well in that case, thank you sir. she added them to match the color of the car. nice little touch...
I love the music.❤️♥️❤️
Seemed appropriate, she had a three hour drive thru the mountains into South Carolina to her new home
Looks awesome❤
Thank you. She picked what she wanted, I just installed it. All credit goes to her for the selection
Thats dope dude 🔥
thank you, its her car and she picked it out , was just the means of the install. Next up is replacing this thin steeringwheel. Then a new exhaust and prbly lower it slightly to close up that unsightly wheel gap
@@stephanorourkepost the afterwork!❤❤
@@excessive6036 sorry, dont know how i misseed your comment, yeah as we do things, ill post before and afters. There are some timelapses in the Miata Play list, debadge , steering wheel and exhaust with some stock exhaust and gwr sounds
Looks very good!
Thank you, much appreciated, Its the missus' car, she ordered it up. I am just the means to get it installed. Definitely changes the look of the back of the car. Will take some side shots of entire car when it stops raining here and i can pull it outside
Baby bears are good eating! Lol says Florida man!
I'll take your word for it
Kind've a mix between manatee and bald eagle 😂
Found footage.
I'm confused.
@@stephanorourke found footage implies that the people filming this encounter did not survive the ordeal. In this case, the phone/camcorder was found by someone else and posted online.
@@DavidFaris roflmao... Well I can't blame it on being blonde..lol
