Snow fun with cars
I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

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:

^ "City version was to just grab the bumper of any bypassing car or bus. <snip> Oh to be young again."

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.
