    ^ Shit it's still coming down hard here and this isn't even the worse part yet. Look at the radar map on the weather channel and look at the big snow storm headed this way.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    It's fucking white up here now. My cousin left here to go up to his grandmas house for a little bit and totaled his truck. Lol bad part about it was he wasn't doing anything when it happened. He's like I turned on her road slid off the side, down a hill and into a bank.

    I just got back and honestly, it was pretty scary on the way home seeing the sleet bounce on the highway and form dust waves. Leaving the Varsity I kept losing traction and people probably thought I was just revving up lol

    We have about a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of snow here in Smyrna. Sticking everywhere.

    I'm tempted to go find a parking lot and slide the Miata around some.

    Key word: tempted. My Miata is in front of my Beetle and my Isuzu in the driveway and I'm too lazy to move all three cars around to go goof around. lol

    Okay so I actually took the Miata out to play around. The parking lot I went to wasn't very big. But I'm uploading two really short videos on youtube right now.

    When I post them, keep in mind that I don't have any experience drifting.

    Okay, TheDrunkScotsman, here it is:

    Feel free to make fun of it, I wasn't really trying. There were a couple of dry patches - you can see where I suddenly straightened out all of a sudden.

    Had even more fun with this last bit of snow that came down. It's stuck and still sticking with the light flurries still falling. My road and subdivision is completely covered. I had a shit load of fun coming up the hill at the entrance of my subdivision.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Still snowing... and snowing and snowing...

    might take myself out and slide around in some shoes a bit, but I'm to lazy to move my ass from this chair to the door and back again.

    Its getting late anyways. We rarely get snow so its fun to take advantage with how easy it is to lose traction.

    Lol speak for yourself there. My truck has a 290 something v6. Same motor exactly as a 350 with two less cylinders. The ass end is so light and it doesn't help it's a long bed. I mean when I turn real hard and gas it I go side ways easy lol. But the snow does make it a shit ton easier with hardly any effort. The snow also brings out the kid inside 97% of the people no matter what age they are.

    I completely agree. That definitely sounds easier to lose traction in at any given moment than a Miata. I have to do things like clutch kicks or staying real close to redline to get it to slide. It was really easy to get it to slide in the snow though, it was spinning in third gear at 35ish mph going down South Cobb Drive in the snow. lol

    In stock form they really are lacking in the power department. They handle very nicely, but the people that swap in larger engines have the right idea.

    i got some video of me trying to hill climb. spsu cop rolled by me when there were 4 guys with big grins on our faces in my car and asked to make sure we werent up to no good. lucky thing i know him and i just sorta kiddingly said "i dont know" and shrugged my shoulders with a grin on my face.

    he paused for a sec and just ended up telling us to be safe and that he didnt want to have to report any wrecks tonight because of us.

    spsu night cops are cool when you know them.

    Haha climbing hills is fun too. Looks like you guys had plenty of fun driving though.

    My house is on the top of a hill and on my way back home I couldn't keep it from spinning so I just drove up the hill partially sideways.
