It's Snowing!!!!!

It just started snowing up in ottawa today and I've come to a shocking realization. I have to slow to 30 KM/H or lower to make a turn without sliding but there's an up side. All I have to do is tap the gas to drift. Are there any other cool tricks I can do in the snow? Also does anyone have any Ideas on techniques or Products to improve my winter driving cause I don't always want to slide?

Umm, get a bag of rocksalt or sand and put it in your trunk for traction, get a set of winter tires, they'll last for years...

Move to BC? It's 8 degrees over here

Yeah, I thought about chains but they're illegal here in my little piece of the great white north. Same with studs.

Yeah, they're saying it's not going to snow this year in my part of Canada... pretty weak if you ask me, I wanted to rebuild my igloo

Oh well, guess I'll just burrow into the ground and cover myself with grass again...

Anyways, get a set of winter tires! Get a pair of steel wheels from the junkers, get a set of snow tires, and have them put on the steel wheels.

Donuts.

Drifts.

Brake Stands.


That's just a few benefits of the snow, enjoy the weather! We got snow here too, it's great!

Winter tires are what you need. Unless you have front drive; in which case all ya need is some good all season tires.
