i had no ideas that s13's handled so well in the snow. We just got about a foot of powder here in MD and this thing is so awesome!!! I tried it out in a big parking lot and pulled this awesome drift cocked about 30 degrees to the left and almost smashed this curb (lol) but i just tapped the gas and straightened out the wheels and she pulled right back into line. OMG its so cool to do handbreaks on the corners with her too. Anyone else got some snoe stories???

It just snowed over here and we had some fun in my friend's truck. I can only imagine how crazy rear wheel drive would be in the snow.....I can't wait.

If we don't get any snow around here by the end of January i'm driving up north somewhere for the weekend. I'm thinking about going to Purdue Univ. next year. Does it snow around there often?

They put 2 much damn salt on the roads here, so snow drifting is out of the question.

Unless you like rust on your downpipe.

I drive from my igloo to my work and from my work to my igloo every day. Try living in the snow 6 months out of the year. I don't understand front wheel drive??? The fun is in the rear (Well that's what the old lady like me to tell her...)

Enjoy the snow boys and gurls.

Yes!!! i live in MD too! Montgomery county! I went out in the middle of the night last to go sliding around right when a good layer of snow landed on the ground prolly round 1 and i got home at 5AM Soooo much fun! I drove around drifting every turn and doing donuts pretty much all day today too. Last night was the best tho, i felt like there were no such thing as cops, i was doing donuts in the middle of big intersections and driving the wrong way on georgia ave and drifting everywhere especially the long turn by my house hehe. Good times! i love snow :D It was so pretty when it first hit, the only marks in it were my drifting tracks, oh yeah

I spent a good hour driving around my neighborhood pretending to be a rally car driver tonite. The snow is just perfectly not yet plowed. Damn it was fun even when I almost ended up on someone's front lawn. My S13 is awesome in the snow, but i wouldn't want to have to drive it in anything more than a few inches

the 240 must suck in snow. i had to uncover the old vista colt 4x4 to make it up the road since the cavalier couldn't handle it

alright alright 240's arent the BEST thing to drive in a couple of feet, but snow drifting in montgomery county is fun cause we get only like 1 ft or less at any given time... but if you get a chance SPIRO, go to the EINSTIEN high school parking lot when it snows again this wednesday and come out to my little snow drift gathering. You might have some fun...

I had to shovel my *** off too, its not the best feeling in the world but when you have ice under your tires, it doesn't have ANY traction and you have to move inch by inch up and down to get off that ice and on to snow. Snow is not the thing I hate, its the ice that goes hand in hand with it.
