My area got a light dusting of snow overnight that turned into a solid sheet of ice by morning. Naturally, most people stayed home and waited for the roads to clear. I wanted to try out my first set of actual snow tires, so I left earlier than usual.

I had a blast, could get the car really sideways and then pull it right back into line. There were a bunch of steep hills with stuck cars, but I didn’t even c ome close to stuck even once.

And yes, I had the top down the whole time.

I’m convinced that the 100hp or so this thing is putting out is around perfect. Starts to spin tire about half throttle and then just balance the slide by adding or subtracting from there. Much more might get a little hairy

then again... I’m also on 175 width tires lol

But more power is always more better

Hmm, I can’t find any flaw in this argument. I think I need boost now.
