How often do you see other drivers "ass clowning" in the snow

I was driving around town this morning in my RWD sedan, sideways at just about every intersection and road with minimal traffic on it, and was wondering “am I the lone madd leet drifter in this town?” Then I quickly remembered that there are hundreds of members on NYSpeed that are probably doing the same thing, I just don’t run into them too often during a snowy day.

So who else drives like they are the next Colin McRae every time it snows? (MPD47 you are excluded from this, we know your answer)

X…:purextc:

:wave:

I even got a PM from an nyspeeder who happened to be behind me while I drifted a few intersections on the way home from work. :slight_smile:

The most disappointing snowy mornings are when the snow plow beats me to the s-curve right before the parking lot at my work.

I’m still learning to drift my Jeep… she needs better tires so I can control it a little better when I need too…

But… I was still doing some crazyness this morning… LOL

4

When I lived at home drifting while driving in the snow was the only way I knew how to drive. :shrug:

5

Drifting with a Crown Vic? Yup.

6

I miss the days when my morning commute would take me through the best buy/target parking lots. Now I go from stop sign to stop sign :frowning:

7

I feel the same way. I do something fun…hang my head in shame because everyone is looking at me like I am out of control…then proceed to do something fun on the next opportunity…rinse and repeat.

8

I usually just drive perfectly normal for a minute, show them I can have control over the vehicle and then go back to what I am doing. LOL

x…

not so much.

fwd honda /= snow fun.

10

I’ve been known to ebrake a few corners.

11

I used to love bombing around in the xterra

12

Taking off all silly-like from left green arrows is the best. It’s like the whole intersection is your audience…

“hey everybody, watch THIS!!”

13

Everyday i wake up and see the snow i know its gonna be a fun drive to work! Nothing better than all wheel drive, snow mode, and blizzaks lol

14

I <3 driving a bmw in the winter, so much fun and I have so much control, even when I decide to start getting sideways at like 65. I love getting on a the 90 in Fredonia when its covered in snow.

I also really enjoy passing audis with shitty all-season/drivers

That said I think people feel that I am about to crash every few feet.

It is so funny you made this thread because just last night I watched this video…

I immediately thought of how I honed my mad skills in first generation quattros in the snow. Ass clowning in snow(without traction control) teaches you a TON about automobile physics.

16

Feel the same way, driving the STi. Was not acting like an asshat today, but from the 198 to the 190 north i stayed in the passing lane the whole time doing roughly the speed limit maybe 60 or 65 at best, just watching me go zipping by the other cars in the slow lane.
Low how when it snows MOST people forget how to drive, but i love to have fun in zee snows.

17

I hate how long I have to hold the dsc button down to get it to turn off.

18

The 2002 ALLROAD traction control stayed off but the 2004 turns back on at 40mph. You are in the middle of a nice drift and all of a sudden the car takes over.:fu:

19

Not much drifto fun in the FWD econobox. But I’m always getting high beams flashed at me or horns honked at me because they feel I’m driving too fast for the conditions. Hey pal…just because your too cheap to buy snow tires and your shitty all seasons give you anxiety in the snow doesn’t mean I can’t control my car at speed. Nokian Hakka’s FTW.

absolutely! haha
