It is a perfect day for practicing drifting and car control. Get out there and have a blast

I'll take loose snow over ice any day...

4x4 in the truck was pretty fun this morning! I love being able to just plant my foot to the floor, lol.

Dylan,

Yes, while 4X4 is great when you need to get going, it's amazing how well you can drift in a big 'ol pick up truck!

Safe motoring!

It's a blast... even in 4 wheel drive mode the back end will step out extremely easy. Very fun!

Hey Koala, I've got my 4X4 and I did a dounut this morning. I was told if you get out of control, use the gas to pull you out... It didn't seem to work so well and I smoked the curb. Ouch!

Ouch. Everything okay?

From what I've found, 4 wheel drive behalves like front wheel drive in snow... even though the rear wheels are getting the majority of the power, they don't step out easy enough, and you kind of get pulled towards the obsticle similar to how you do in a front wheel drive.

Oh, no. You can drift with a CRV nearly as well as an S2000.
