      Last night 42nd was down to one lane each way because there was a foot of snow in both outside lanes. Needless to say, the Buick made its own lane.

                Shit, I had no problems at all this morning. I thought the interstate interchange was just fine. There wasn't even snow!

                I am kinda scared on how the lowered Honda will handle the extra snow at lunch though.

                Last time it snowed all i could hear was snow scraping along the bottom of my CRX, what really sucks is hitting the chunks of snow/ice that falls off cars, every once and a while I hear them pinging off my exhaust. I do have to say I busted a few good size drifts that were on campus last weekend. But the less I have to drive the better (lowered hondas FTL right now). And living on campus not having to worry bout driving to class FTW!

                  Oh I forgot, if you're doing it on purpose it'll be looked at as exhibition/reckless driving (if you have RWD you can probably get away with it, but there's no reason why a FWD would have the ass end slide sideways unless you're E-braking or something). I see ppl getting pulled over for it all the time on campus, luckily me and my friends havent gotten nailed for it.

                    i've kind of come to the conclusion that if you get pulled over, that meant a cop saw you and you didn't see them first.. which means you weren't paying close enough attention to be screwing around as much as you were.

                    Naturally there are exceptions.. but it's something to ponder.

                      If there is NOBODY around and you start messing around and a cop drives by that doesn't mean you weren't paying close enough attention, just means he saw you before you saw him. No possible way to injure bystanders unless they are retarded and decide that walking/driving by a car spinning in circles is a smart idea...

                      BTW I got exhibition driving for messing around in an empty portion of the MHS parking lot, with rear wheel drive...Hjermstad got owned too 😛

                          Quattro + Blizzak FTMFW. Late last nite was the best driving of the entire season. Several parking lots were brutally violated. All manners of vehicular debauchery were committed. Roads (even interstates) were totally empty, and no plows had been out yet.

                          I know I ripped around in my RWD car for about an hour. Got it to do almost axis spins in my parking lot for a couple mins straight...needless to say it ended up dry pavement after a short bit.

                          Then we took out a hood, and attached it to a buddy's diesel pickup and towed some people on the streets, parking lots etc.

                          Driving home in my RWD car was hell though. I think I got stuck like 4 times in like a 6 block area. Hills FTMFL. At one point, I tried moving and my car just completely lost its ass and the rear end just slid completely down into a gutter.

                          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                                and who says your back end cant slide out in a FWD vehicle? my girlfriends car has really good front tires and some decent back ones and that makes the ass end slide out all time, even before all the recent snow.

                                  Believe it or not, it's still illegal, because the driver is not in complete control of the vehicle.

                                    my awd dsm loves the snow and ice. so go into a parking lot, or in the street if you want and flick the e-brake a little, turn the wheel, and floor it...does axis spins like non-other, get dissy fast

                                      Yup, you are right. I got a ticket way back in the day for sliding sideways like 2 ft in a parking lot with a pickup. Sucked.

                                          and who says your back end cant slide out in a FWD vehicle? my girlfriends car has really good front tires and some decent back ones and that makes the ass end slide out all time, even before all the recent snow.

                                          I dont know about everyone but my fwd slides easily. I see some newer fwd hook up alot better then I do. Then again my car is 20 years old.
