on public roads, it's considered careless driving... I tried using the recovery excuse at traffic court.. it didn't work so well.

Also, I was just out driving a little (had to go to a neighboring town to run an errand)... I got two good videos of what it really looks like when you're driving with about 10' of visibility due to the snow/wind for those of you who have never had the pleasure of driving in snow. (a drive that should have taken me about 20-25 minutes ended up taking damn near an hour) Anybody know how to get videos from a razr v3 to a computer?

There is alot of back roads here that I've practiced on, and theres alot of back roads, I've slide out on, not on purpose and recovered. But the lonely parking lot is always the funnest. Though you gotta watch out for the pot holes. The snow covered potholes kill, I de-rimmed my tire last winter. It sucked changein my tire in below freezing weather. But it was worth it, I got like an hour and ahalf in with some friends with the road blocked off before I caught the pothole while counter steering.

I have tried, still can't get it to work. I do like to spin my tires a lot though. I think next time I hit up an empty parking lot I am gonna try those reverse donuts... The "right" way to do donuts in a FWD car.
