I'm still on my summers.

My hands hurt by the time I got home because I was gripping the wheel so hard the whole way.

There was massive drifts of snow across Airport Road north of Mayfield and I hit one dead-on going 75km/h and almost ditched it. Slowed down after that.

I drove a 400+hp RWD BMW last winter no problem, but these tires are like driving on marbles in anything more than a light dusting of snow.

Light grip dude! When we go out for sessions, we're never holding the wheel tight!

More feel in your fingertips than in your palm!

Light grip and fast reaction FTW!

Took the bus into work today and it was brutal, but I hate washing the car ugh!

Have Subaru made rubber mats yet for the car? I'm a brand whore.

Traffic was horrible yesterday but lots of fun to drive these cars in winter.

I saw a white FR-S with HIDs right after getting off from 400 to 401 going east around 6:45pm. He or she chainged their mind and decided to get off the express trafic and stay on collector. Sorry i saw your signal too late and couldn't stop to let you pass infront of me.

even on snows, ice is a real killer... I straight drifted a good section of the 427

I was more nervous about everyone else around me than I was of myself...

Still a very hair-raising drive either way.

Careful of that on public roads, our finest don't take too kindly to it.

Oh yeah, that's completely understandable. Still, with a light grip, you can react faster.

not on purpose though, last night was super icey and switching lanes while accelerating was enough to go into a gentle skid

Yea, as long as it doesn't seem deliberate, you should be okay

Canehda · 11-20-2014, 02:58 PM

Today with the cold wet weather when I hit the zebra strips at intersections the back would swing right out... Its happened a couple times in front of the police and they just look at me and move on :P

SLVRSRFR · 11-20-2014, 09:08 PM

Yeah I was being followed by a plow last night up Airport Road. he saw me get squirrelly at one point, and he backed off a bit and essentially "blocked" the cars behind him. Seemed like he could tell I was having a rough go of it and wanted me to have some extra space just in case.

Wish I could have thanked him.
