the best is during a blizzard and there is nothing but you, a few cabs and a few other drifters. too bad i never got a chance to get a vid of me in my truck. those were some insane drifts.

Ah, the snow. My favourite things about winter are skiing, and donuts in snow covered parking lots. I had a '91 Suzuki Sidekick before I got my Civic, and that thing was amazing for donuts with the rear wheel drive and all. Also tons of fun doing huge drift turns in 4wd! Now I have to get used to this "*** dragging" as you guys put it. I got some practice in last weekend since we got a couple inches here in the Lower Mainland. Never will I grow weary of drifting around corners and sliding around parking lots in the snow.

Anyone from the Vancouver area want to make a trip up to Whistler one of these days?

My friend owned a Suzuki samurai for a while, we used to mess around in it so much during the winter.

I'm so mad right now. My dad said we got like an inch and a half last night where i live, but I'm 45 minutes away at college, and we got nothing. I almost drove back home last night just to do it, but i had an 8 am class today.

hahaha. i live in western PA. we had snow last week and it was like 6-8" total. it is now down to just slush. i have a driveway about 1/2 mile long dirt. sure theres pot holes but only on the one long straight. starting at the road it is about 1/8 mile then a 90' right turn then like a 1/4 straight. 90' left turn but they are sweeping turns so u can grab that ebrake wet or dry if your goin fast enough. i did it comin around the one closest to the road once when it was muddy and my hand slipped off the ebrake and i overcorrected while it was still locked up and my front end smacked a tree. just broke the front bumper cover. everything else was fine. not sure how cuz i hit the tree doing like 20-25 still. its not my car but its my brothers. 95 civic CX(yeah its slow but not in 1st and 2nd. its a 5 speed so its quick that way) ANYHOW its all slush now and oh my cousins driveway is right beside mine and it runs right with it so it could be like a racetrack if i wanted it too but they dont like me anyway. but i do ebrake 180 at the top to turn around. i drive up for my school bus in the morning and home when i get back from votech. i have been "drifting" or powersliding since i was about 12 and first started driving a stick which was my brothers 88 ford ranger std cab shortbed 2.0 4 banger 5 speed. back then i could drive my entire driveway but not anymore. then i was using my 87 bronco ii that i still have and that things a blast 2.9l v6 5 speed
