+1 on no sand bags in FWD, and get some nice snow tires.last night i was driving home in a snow storm and i could barely see any thing, everything covered in snow, goin probly like 20mph on the highway.tires make a huge difference.i had bald front one on last night(ya it sucked) and goin like 20 the whole back end slid out just gatta have good reflex and countersteer.came close to the gaurd rail but saved it.guess drifting in parking lots helps some advice if you have a manual, downshift in the snow before braking

Sorry, I messed up on the sandbags thing. I was thinking of my truck when I typed that.

Don't hit guard rails on the edge of cliffs.....It's rather scary and your car won't like it (mine sure as hell didn't).


Oh, and live in a city where they actually pay the city workers to drive around in the snowplows and clear the roads and not for sitting on their lazy *****.

LOL! So there is your answer bro. Move somewhere that doesnt have snow! Bwahahaha! Thats hilarious.

I dont really have anything to add here. It sounds like these cats know what they are talking about. Hit up an empty parking lot and have some fun, but make sure you learn better control while your out there. Hell we just got a fresh new inch of snow on the ground an hour ago, I think I may have some fun as well!
