Took a round a bout with a little excess speed yesterday and the tail got a little loose

Now I am fighting the urge not to rein act the event this car is so much fun

Note: for my US peeps a round a bout is an island in the middle of the road that you need to drive around and can be very good fun

I'm itching for a Civic VX as a winter beater/track car, but it's almost impossible to find one that's not molested. It gets about 50 MPG.

I've decided I'm not going to track the BRZ because I can't accept the thought of potentially totaling it.

Even a FWD machine can be fun with the right suspension setup.

Nope, there's still a chance of crashing it and the track insurance company not paying for it. I'll stick to casually autocrossing the BRZ instead.

I'm looking for used EG Civics but almost all of them are covered in rust. I need to expand my search to the southern states.

Gross. You're doing it wrong. Here's a much better FWD Hot Hatch:

Snow tires make things too easy.... I managed just fine minus this incident on a solid sheet of smooth ice on a slight grade... Nothing a little salt didn't fix... Blizzard conditions with 4x4's struggling and once I stopped trying to drive my frs like I drove my outback in the snow I was getting around better then 90% of the rest of the drivers
