Default Drifting !

When's this crazy cold weather going to end, I'm tired of drifting around corners (even though it's fun and all)

Will my tires EVER STICK????

Went for a little cruise over to York U Friday (just out driving and thought I'd see what's new) and was drifting all over the place. Damn it was fun! Made me realise how badly I need an aligment though...

Yes I did get the filters, thanks.

Seriously on Friday, I came around 1 corner and drifted sideways for at least 100meters, at first it was fun, but the longer I held it the more it got disconcerting.

I figured an hour of highway would heat up the old rubber, but no way, I got home and it wasn't even warm to touch.

Suppose to be 19 on Friday!

I must be getting old.... reading this, all I'm thinking of is "slow down" and keep it off the guard rails.

Beechbum, I can stop at a stop sign and go about 20km through a turn and get sideways, it's just too cold still

Only in Freakin' Canada, yesterday I drive around with the top down, today it's SNOWING!
