i was drift king for a day, holy smokes

Chinadian · 02-08-2013, 10:26 AM

I did!

wbradley · 02-08-2013, 10:34 AM

I did! My xB, that is.

All was well until my windshield became really difficult to see through and I slammed into a snow drift near the McDonalds drive thru on Kennedy Rd/14th.

Perhaps later on I will take out the FR-S and use the 5:AD front spoiler to plow the driveway! Might need lowering springs to be effective though.

Drive safe out there everyone!!!

blast max heat on your windshield and clean your blades, if you keep them going on max speed with a heated windshield you should be good to go.

can get a bit toasty in the cabin though, i drove in my t-shirt.

but holy shit i wish i had a go-pro on me.

Lol took it out last night. Walked to work this morning and almost got run over by some dude running a stale red.

7thgear · 02-08-2013, 11:03 AM

i_4got · 02-08-2013, 11:13 AM

Really? In your shoes I'd wait a day or 2. Why chance it - learn its winter limits on no-traffic neighbourhood roads first. Especially if it's not got snows on it yet.

colHolm · 02-08-2013, 12:28 PM

It was fun today. Car is predictable, but you sure can feel how light it is with the smallest ruts in the snow... Damn. Save driving everyone!

i hope that's a joke

DO NOT, i repeat do NOT attempt to drive today unless you have previous knowledge of the behaviour of a lightweight RWD car in such a shit-storm as we have right now

not to mention that you're gonna be putting a lot of stress on the engine and i don't think you want to do that right out of the box

seriously broskies you waited this long, you can wait a few more days.

Not even if the dealership is across the street from me?

I drove home last night. Sliding quite a bit. Didn't take it today, because the snow wasn't plowed and in some areas, was higher than the clearance of the car.

Although it was tempting, I didn't want to chance it. Even with snows, car still slides.

No. You won't even get out of the parking lot. Wait a few days. I know it's hard. You will have less than ZERO traction on a day like today.
