Snow Stories and Pictures...Lets here them

This Winter I got to experience what its like to drive my 7 in the snow. At first it was really scary because these cars are very slippery even when its wet, so add snow and its scary. Luckily I had some chains which made it actually pleasant. I ended up getting a speeding ticket in the snow for going 4 over in a 40 MPH zone.

my only snow experience this winter was taking my 85 out about four days after it snowed and the roads still covered in ice around my house. I got a block down the road and thought it was funn driving straight but the car being sideways, anyway I punched the gas and the tach hit 7k ish instantly and the car did a 360 nose first into a curb which bounced the car into another 360, 720 degrees of spining without doing any damage and not curbing a single wheel. I promptly drove right home and parked it. not wanting to test my luck anymore.
