Early this morning coming home from my gf's house. After there was a dump of 2 inches of snow.

Spun out on yellowhead and 82 st Car wanted to spin to the right so I countersteer it to the left. A bit too much countersteering so now the car wanted to go left, so i countersteer, also a bit too much, etc etc. Went on a few times until I finally ended up 180 degrees pointing the other direction. Luckily no cars near me. I did see this car behind me stopped and watching me though. I didn't hit anything or run over anything. I think i must have occupied 3 out of 4 lanes tryign to wrestle with my car.

I didn't use the brake once until I almost came to a stop.

I have to admit, that was fun thought but did give me the shits

itr_gary: whens' the ice driving class again? I wanna learn how to control without fear!

If u're wondering why i'm up early right now writing this, i'm gonna head down to the local hills at 9 am sharp for some fresh powder boarding

Ain't it interesting that with our near 50/50 weight distribution...we can manage soooo many 180s out of the deal? Guess its that "near" 50/50 that gets us

Glad you're okay Next...glad your car came out of it unscathed

It's been rescheduled again to the 24-25 of this month! I should be there (and then running home to pack.)

Glad you came out unscathed! (It's a bit of an eyeopener though isn't it!!!)

wingman, it was in his Civic so we cannot blame the S's characteristics for this one.

Seks, you need to be more careful.

Hahaha! I think you just left yourself wide open for a bit of razzing from your bud, koala. He loves driving in winter.
