HO-LI-SHIT first time on snow in RWD
What? RWD is fun??? On SNOW????? Fuck me!
Its snowing first time today and I was all EXCITED to try RWD on snow for the first time!!! I wanted to go We were joking with friends that I will vahe problems to get on the hill with my summer tires  ops: I have winter tires but it was pretty warm for snow sofar 
And what happend? I couldnt drive up the hill!!! DAMN IT! I never believed people who told me that they have problems with RWD in winter(driving up the hil etc) but now I have my own experience LOL :silly: thanx the previous owner who gave me set of chains with the car 
Then after I get them down(when snowie road ended) i drove home and 200 meters away from home was a little hill :shock: DAMN IT! I couldnt drive on it also!!! Chains up and finally I am home 
Man...... with Samara I had NO problems on snow always drove in the fastest snowiest left lane with quattro's and 4x4's  Here I push the pedal and my ass slide on the side :shock: scary shit!

OH, but it IS sooooo much fun. It can be a bit annoying if you don't have the appropriate gear in the car to make it driveable, but there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to slap some snow-tires onto the car, put a bag of sand or rock salt in the trunk and be able to go most places that you could possibly need to. Offroading is a bit out of the question though...

First of all I am fucking SCARED when you push the pedal on the straight road and your ass just slides away :shock: I knew ofcourse that this will happen and thanx to LFS and simular games you more-less know what to do. 1,8(113ps) is weak for do any weel spin on dry or even wet tarmac so you dont have to worry abot that very much(325 can slide the ass on dry tarmac if you puch it hard), but on snow its a completely new experience for me and I LOVE IT!
Gotta go change tires but airpumps I have are all broken atm :roll:
+ the steering wheel is big as in a bus, its Mtech well better than the original from e30 but still huge

except when I'm driving my truck and doing full throttle launches at every light and watching people try the same and not have the same results. God I love my BFG All-Terrains, most trucks even the off-road versions come with puny road tires.

The video is in the Video Vault under Track Videos. It's called "911 Snow Drifting". I highly recommend it! It's a superb vid.

Man I had some of the best times ever back in HS in my 1992 Mustang V8 in the snow!!
Me and my buddies would go out in that thing and just go completely nuts! It had a cheap crappy sunroof too, the kind you had to take the glass all the way out and put in the trunk if you wanted it open all the way. So we would take turns standing up in the car with half our body out the sun roof while another drove!! Absolutely crazy, mad fun!
Obviously that is extremely dangerous, but if you get drunk enough you don’t think about that lol!
