Talking Who else loves playing in the snow?

Wsup guys? I'm relatively new to the forum. Owned my fc for about a year now, and enjoying every minute of it. Just wanted to share today's adventure in the seven...

My s13 buddy and I tore up some snowy lots today. We spent like three or four hours getting sideways, and making up courses around light poles, curbs, roundabouts, and the like. Probably the most fun I've had thus far with my fc. Sorry the photos aren't great, just point and shoot with my iphone. Hoping to go back and do some filming tomorrow.











Please post any snow pics, footage, or stories you have of your fc!

I used to enjoy doing that with my previous FC, but the salt ate it. I only drive my current one on dry days in the winter, and my daily is a front wheel drive so not as much fun for sliding around a snowy parking lot.

I've driven in snow with my FCs every year it's snowed.

Also, that's a pretty crazy exhaust.... lol

my fc doesnt see day light from dec. to april. In Toronto we use waaay to much salt on our streets!
about a weeks worth of April showers to get all the salt off the road and only then does she come out to play!
I think my next beater for next winter will be something rwd. mmmmmmm, maybe a miata!

Hells yeah! I have a set of wheels with studded snows for the winter. I've taken my FC over Loveland pass a couple times in the snow. Too much fun. The last storm was nice since the snow actually stuck around for a while.

its more fun with regular tires. snow tires really do have so much more grip. I couldnt believe the difference. Even in 4-5 inches i could truck on without any problems!

guess Ill be the one to rain on the parade- you really should park the cars when it snows, send that thing into a curb or a pole and the smile will wipe from your face real quick. Or have a careless driver send their car into yours.

sorry to be a downer
