cool, snow'd parking lots are always fun. Lokking forward to the video.
Everytime we get a fresh rain(it snows every 10 years or so) we go out to the college parking lot and do the same.

What do you need the snow for? or even rain? If the car has any ***** you should be doing the same thing on dry payment, leaving lots of black marks, making lots of noise and smoke. Only joking most of us have stock 305's and need all the water we can get for massive donuts or the even spin the tires more then a foot. But built or even a stock 350 car will leave donuts alll over the parking lot with no problem, power slide and kick the car sidways without blinking. Took the two 91 350 Z's out the other night

You guys are actually driving your cars in snow! My baby's parked in a nice heated garage covered up, I would never drive it in the winter! Do you know what salt does to the body of a car over time? Just ask anybody from the east coast! But it would be alout of fun, lol, but that's what I have my Explorer for!

I couldn't agree more, Thats why you need a winter fbody. I just happen to drive a 1990 WS6 350 T/A for the winter and my business partner is driving a 1988 GTA. I would never let my baby out in the cold. You also need something that will move in the snow and Fbodies don't do it. Thats the reason I also drive a 1975 K5 Blazer with a 468 Bigblock 11 inches of lift and superswampers with lots of rust for when it snows.

Must be nice! I live in Winterpeg, I mean Winnipeg! I get to drive my car for 4 or 5 months, then she goes and hybernates for the winter! It's all good though, gives me 6 months to have an excuse for it being torn apart for some more mods! This winter it's the new motor!

Here in Carbondale we got a truck load of snow. I'm not going to drive my car again until the salt and snow clear and dry away, or at least until I have to.

SNOW

I got caught in it without any weight in my car. 54 mile commute one way. Only spun out once on the interstate, but was able to back out of it. Real pain in the @ss, only took me 3hrs to drive the 45 minute trip. Time to put alot of weight in the beater car.

thats why i like seattle, hardly any snow, and if it does its slush by morning most of the time, but it rains all the time so im out doing doughnuts and powersliding every corner that i can, never lost it so far, but thats also because ive only driven it for maybe 4 months that i have had it since march of this year, its been parked because 1 bad tranny, then a new engien going in, then another tranny, and hopefully soon i will have her back. so only 8 months that i havent driven her. oh well, keeping the miles down on her.

We got a nice 8 inches of snow. I got to drive to school for one class when it started snowing and then come home when there was a ****load. Some advice: don't do 70 on the parkway, i caught some snow, went sideways, and slid a long time. Thank *** i regained control. Michelin's suck!!!

Later

Sweeeeet! 8" of the fluffy stuff outside my door now! Drove to the GF's house tonight and it wasn't bad at all. Good thing the roads were empty, I had fun nailing the throttle and going up the road sideways like a crab. Good thing i took my camaro out in this stuff a few years ago and learned to drive in it. It's so much fun to do wild stuff in a car and still have complete control !! I want to go to the school parking lot, but the snow is a little too deep and I don't want to get high-centered . I'll wait till it melts down a little bit tomorrow.

We don't have much snow right now, it all went south of here. Even when we do get enough to have some fun, my RS isn't going out unless I break my truck (84 F-150, 4x4 351W with 4.10s). Good winter beater - rusty, dented, and paid for long ago. Probably won't flog it too hard though, I need it to get me through one more winter, and it's dying a slow death.

no thanks. my car is sleeping in the garage, for the winter while i work on it.

i refuse to drive the thing in snow and salt.. 166k miles already, and the body needs work.

so i went and bought a little chevy s10 beater. 4 cyl, 5 speed, bed rotted up, etc. should do really bad in snow

This is what happens when you get caught with your pants down. Now my car won't come out of the garage until April. Guess I have to drive the '00 Blazer which is not as much fun to drive.
