Default Just having a little fun in the snow


Finally found the perfect spot to have a little fun in the snow with a buddy of mine.

DISCLAIMER: Sorry for the weaksauce drifting. Still sort of new to this so it's nothing compared to what some of the guys can do on here but hopefully there will be more to come!

Big lots are a lot funner in 4wd. Its amazing the control and SPEED you can carry. Buddy and I used to go to the school parking lot when it snowed. Best part was they had a couple long, wide curves around part of the building. Great practice and when the boy is old enough I'll still take him to an empty lot and let him learn how to handle a vehicle when things go bad.

Yeah I've been trying to find a giant parking lot like this one for the longest time. I'm so glad I finally found one. The best part is only a few blocks from my house.

Speaking of which I should in fact try 4WD. Those tires I have on right now slip so much I can barely get any speed going in rwd

I agree 4 high is more fun.

What annoys me is the headlights flickering (turned it off in the video) when abs or tcs kicks in. Even with advance trac turn off it would flicker.

Seems to be a problem with audis and infinitis too

Man.....I can't get any snow around to have any fun. What little snow we did get, the independants did a good job of plowing away. Was a waist putting my winter tires on this year.......I managed to play a bit in the last 4" or so we got. Had to go out in the white-out to have any fun. And I had to put up with those who have no idea how to drive in normal weather, let alone with a little snow thrown in, on street tires.......

Done it multiple times without issue. I don't see why it would have any connection with the PS system going out.
