Snow fun with cars

Toooooooooo cold! lol

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh yes.
Reminds me of the good ole "bumper drag'n" days. ;D
Tie the hood of an old car (preferably a Chevy Bel Aire or Galaxy 500 so they had a "keel" :geekdanc:) to the back of a 4 X 4 with a good length of rope and everybody pile on and down the old country road we went.
:shake::shake: :shake:
City version was to just grab the bumper of any bypassing car or bus. :crazy:
Sometimes if you tried, you could fishtail the car and make it dog track. :rofl:

Ditto on that. Nowadays I could just hook my cane to the car's bumper. Wheeeee ! :thumbsup:
I practice starting, stopping, turning whenever I can find a safe place to do it. I had an Audi 5000 where you could turn the Automatic Braking System (ABS) on or off. I found I could do better on stopping with it off by feathering the brakes instead of pumping them. I reckon more modern cars have better slip sensors, though. I still practice that with my 97 Subaru in which the ABS doesn't work.
Fun doing figure eights and such in deserted parking lots. I've even seen a cop or two having fun practicing in snow-covered parking lots from time to time late at night. I'm sure it's against policy, though.
But it ain't all fun. Colorado leads the nation in avalanche deaths.
