I only drift my 240. haha. My tC was parked with hazards on, on the shoulder in a canyon. A Jeep took a corner too fast and slid into the Scion. They got a citation for excessive speed or something, and were totally at fault. I've got a thread about it right now...

some snow pics




ya i know they are blurry. this thing sucks using no flash if you barely move
all i can say is this was nothing compared to what it looked like on the way home... that 30 min drive took 2 hours to get home on a sheet of ice, wind blowing soo much damn snow you couldn't see. go figure after someone plowed into a cop they decided to shut down the highway AFTER i got back. i hate illinois weather!!!! oh well supposed to be back 40 by the weekend.

i have no clue. if they do they were a cheap underbody kit and they're still going strong (used em last night while was driving around the mall lot to get to best buy and while inside eating) almost used them the other day driving home during the blizzard to make myself stand out more to the cars behind me

FWD is much more forgiving than any other drivetrain when driving in the snow. You can fishtail with awd just as easy as a rwd car. The difference is the front wheels are still pulling you, making you go faster as you fishtail.
It helps you get going though. My friends Mustang was parked for three days up off the hill we live on.
