Why do you need snow to drift? You have an fr-s...

Saves the tires.

If an old white guy who clothes himself entirely in denim can do it so can you.

It's easier.... I can do it at a slower speed... And I won't need to buy new tires...

Because sliding around in the snow is a sheetload of fun. It's a totally different drifting experience than drifting in the dry. Don't get me wrong, drifting on dry pavement is fun too... but it is just so much easier to break traction and slide around when there is snow on the ground. Seriously, you should try it. :party0030:

...just turn off traction and you might as well be on ice in this car

my car becomes useless in snow with all the hills around me

there are plows running constantly so the roads are driveable. and most of the major parking lots have already been plowed once already so the accumulation on them is enough to have fun and not get stuck in.

I can honestly say today was the worst driving experience ever... I have snow tires in the back and couldnt go above 20 mph. 8 hours to get from farmingdale to queens...

Lol I went before work at like 12:30. Struggled to get to work and ultimately left my car in the parkinglot at work because driving it home isn't an option

ya good call. I thought I would've beat the traffic, but boy was I wrong. On a side note, I saw like 3 genesis coupes, a couple g35's and g37s, and rwd bmw's stuck in the LIE. Best of luck to those guys, but my brz was a champ compared to those guys.

I'm buried. My car is definitely not getting out of my street lol
