First Snow of the Season!

[dareo]

Tonight was the ultimate in slickness, first the snow melted upon hitting the ground then at some point it froze over. Ice with snow piled on top. I think to myself, what a perfect time to drive my 240sx.

Control and driveability were exceptional during normal driving--at least compared to my friends integra. My stock 240sx has the best control of any RWD i've driven so far.

Then i get into a parkinglot and pretend its my own oval-track. A little into the turn i'd tap the gas just a little and the rear end would smoothly begin to slide into the turn. i practiced doing oval turns while sideways for a good 45 minutes before going home again.

The conditions were so slick that the amount of rear power needed was almost nothing, and over-drifting was very easy to do. The exact amount of throttle and perfectly timed countersteer were crucial. I love learning how to drift its the best! Just remember to do it in a completely safe place and you wont break/hurt/kill anything. With icey snow like this i could drift w/o going over 2500rpms with a stock KA24e, no wear no tear.

sn*w drift = sl*w drift (not a bad thing)

lots of fun, everything feels alot more fluid

[drifter_for_life06]

prob an indusrial lot, here there is a HUGE abandoned K-MArt lot that i can use, if snow ever comes : /

[Altiman94]

it is freezing rain out there right now. I would be out but my 240 is down again.

[D1SR240]

just out of curiosity, what kinda trouble could you get in? if a cop were to see you sliding around a big empy parking lot

[Onizuka]

if your in a empty parking lot by yourself youprobably wont get much, its not technically public roads so i guess its sort of gray area.

[drifter_for_life06]

plus if its slick, all you gotta say is you lost total traction and were trying to recover it, say you met someone there like a "Park & Ride" and then you were elaving and lost traction

[D1SR240]

could they give you a ticket?

also i remember my drivers ed teacher told us to go with our parents to a parking lot and if your car doesn't have ABS then just slam the brakes and see what happens, so i'll just use that excuse if i have to, lol

[drifter_for_life06]

lol, i dont think that they can give you a ticket, especially if your story is a good one but most likely all tehy can do is give you a warning(at the most) and telly uo to get on your way to wherever your headed, but they cant just KICk you out fo a parking lot, unless your doing something illegal(i.e. racing, smoking herb etc. etc.) so you should be fine to go to a parking lot

[D1SR240]

once the snow comes, parking lots here i come : )

[drifter_for_life06]

lol me too im gon be al over those lots

[dareo]

Actually it was a church parkinglot, and yes people can get tickets (reckless driving) for "doing donuts" in the church parkinglots here. But i wasnt doing some adolescent donuts like people typically do. Just some nice smooth sideways turns. If i cop did come i'd just tell him im practicing winter driving or something like that.

ya on kazaa i downloaded this video, of a suv sliding on ice, it's pretty sweet, and it's a suv

[drifter_for_life06]

just do what i said before, you were driving and lost control of the car, D1SR240 what is the fiel name for that SUV i wanna d/l it

[NeverEnuff]

you can git a ticket iv goten one b4 but it does not go on your record you just have to go pay for ityou can also git charged with destruction of proporty

[drifter_for_life06]
