The first snow fall of the season is a bit of a suprise as I hit the pedal and hold it down almost feeling like I am bending the pedal. > [@Smaefer](#): > > That would be the ESP I’m talking about on my B6… It does actually work very well and does what it’s suppose to do, but when you try and drift around a turn with it on it can really mess you up LOLZ… Yeah, I was in a TT and someone tried to do a nice drift, PERFECT turn, no cars coming, JUST get the car where the back is about to dance out, WOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM, ESP kicks in. It is almost like the car’s way of chickening out. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/picked-up-a-99-1-8t-5spd-avant-for-the-wifey-today/44632)._
