noob drifting

[gmac708]

Thought I might post a few pictures for our brothers down south who miss out on all this fun stuff up north.

A little "newb drifting" in the local mega store parking lot.

Intercooler / snow plow!

Got the winter tires on.







BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!It was too cold for them to come outside and kick us out.I can't wait for spring!

Figured that this would be the first thing said in this thread.

[gmac708]

Ya...Guess I should have mentioned that we got up to about 15 Miles/hr max. Figured the kid should get some experiance in a big open area without any cars or curbs around before he went out on the roads in snow for the first time.

[Elbowblk]

yah good idea to practice on an open parking lot. so you know what to expect when your car accidentally slides in the snow.

[s14derrick]

you should keep it on the track for that kind of stuff. but given it was pretty snowy and in a big lot i dont think there would be any cars to worry about. and also it would be good experience learning to drive in the snow. much better then learning out in the middle of traffic

[nevertheless]

dosent matter, as long as your having fun.

they leave snow on tracks where ur from You cant keep it on the track because they dont leave snow on tracks. People who havent snow drifted before need to stfu. Literally everyone does it. Better to do it in a open parking lot than the street. You only go 10-15 mph tops when doing it so its not a big deal as long as its an open lot.

well seeing as it doesnt snow in south georgia, WE in the south, can go to events year round, and dont have to wait till all the ****ty weather is gone, and as i see it its no different than "drifting" in open parking lots while its raining, which it doesnt really matter if your going 10-15 mph if you dont know how to drive then bad **** will happen so STFU yourself

People who drift in the snow have grown up driving in it so for the most part nothing happens if its done safely. Bad stuff happens all the time on the street just because of dumb drivers so its no different. If you know what ur doin and do it in a open lot you have nothing to worry about.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Shut up everyone. This doesn't need to turn into a debate about safety and "keep it on the track." Come on, look at how empty that parking lot is. Do you really think he's gonna hit anything? Also, no one cares if it doesn't snow in your area so you can't go to the track, snow drift, etc.... You guys need to quit bitchin and applaud the man on teaching his son how to drive in the snow SAFELY. GTFO or quit spamming his thread.

Normally I'm the first one to go into a thread and flame the op to keep it on hte track.

But in this case. I fully agree that new drivers need to know what it's like to lose control of a car in the snow so they do not panic when it happens to them in traffic.

especially if this is the case of a father brining his son out.

Heck, my grandfather did the same thing with my mother when she first got her car way back when.

two thumbs up from me.

[BMAR240SX]

Im about to do it tonight lol

[SirSilvia]

I did it last night before it go to high to even drive in, I was the only one with a smile on my face as I left work to go out to my car. me = I setup shopping cars to slide in and out of once i got the hang of how the lot was handleing. sooo nice

[S13Joe]

how is that car holding up? i remember seeing that build, one of my favorites.

[gmac708]

I grew up in Toronto and my father did the same thing in the IGA parking lot. 64 VW. I remember it like it was yesterday...Had to scrape the windows on the inside.

My point on this thread is the snow and cold and the winter sucks, but we can still have a few moments playing in the snow, Not how to be responsible. Some are missing the point, and the snow.

[gmac708]

Car is great. Dyno 248 @ 9PSI.No leaks, starts and runs smooth, even in the cold.I would recommend it as a daily driver to anybody.

thats what i did for my girlfriend so she wouldn't freak on snow like she did before

[S13Teddy]

Don't give me that, "Keep it on the track," BS. You guys all know that the streets are where it's at...

[Ghast]

GMAC,

For those of us who HAVE read your build thread and seen the bond between you and your son, I for one enjoyed seeing this post. Knowing full well you would never take your son out to do anything reckless or stupid i see NO harm in learning and at the same time making the learning fun.

+1 Kudos For hanging out with your kid.+2 Kudos For taking the time to teach him, because you obviously care (hes lucky).+3 Kudos For making it fun for him.+4 Kudos For giving him some good memories to reflect on.

One Love,

Ghasty

Parking lots are the ****, esp the glossy black top ones

[Justin35ll]
