It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

That is all.

Does anyone have an idea on a few places I can call that have some big open parking lots where I could get some permission to video tape some shitty action? :D ;)

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Edit is getting dominated tonight!! There are parking lots everywhere in there.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Votec ... They have some huge parking lots. Last time I check I was having some fun shitty action up there. Back in 2002.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

The Laser will have some fun tonight! There are so many huge lots in *edit*, its bound to be a good night!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

There is a place off of hwy 6 in plymouth right next to 494 behind the home depot in that industrial park that has a great parking lot. I've done plenty o' sliding there.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

You guys and your silly AWD. I want to know where the sloppy snowy wet icey mud pits are, so I can put it in 4-lo and get dirty. :D

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

I am jealous.:(

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Dammit the e-brake doesn't work on the Galant :( Steve did you do that on purpose to ruin my winter fun?! LOL

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

There's a huge lot right near my house. Already filled with perfect little circles. (and a few bisecting high speed lines :) )

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

South metro loses again. No snow, it's raining slush of and on.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Snowing well up here, gonna find a parking lot and let the truck feel the wraith of swanny in 2wd!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Yea it was raining this morning and I was planning on going snowboarding with a ton of people. Looks like that didn't happen and now I'm pissed!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

It should be interesting to see how the EVO handles in the snow with the Avids on it.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

It sucks out there. I drove my wife's company car and immediately called her fleet company and demanded new tires. A quick trip to Discount Tire got her a nice new set. The line was almost out the door as the afternoon wore on.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

And 400whp. Donuts anyone.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

You're going to die. Drive safe!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Yea Bald tires and a bad culuth this sucks..

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

My thoughts exactly, drive safe Andy.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

I can see the Evo 0-60 mph time dipping well into the 1min mark...hahaha Andy I hope you did drive safe.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Those parking lots didn't stand a chance to the drifto machino Laser!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

I love driving the 240 on nights like this. I got some pretty weird looks from some truckers tonight when I made a pass through a parking lot to make sure it was clear, then a couple mins later come flying through it sideways

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Nice.:)

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Stealth whips good shitties, and yes we have it on video.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

I didn't have much time last night to go out and play, so I just stopped by the old abandoned Northwest Athletic Club off of hwy 100 & france ave...big empty parking lot. Let's just say that there wasn't much untracked snow on it after the evo was done! Got to play with the various active diff options too, that was pertty neato!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Could you tell the difference?

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Yeah I had a shitload of fun in the Legacy Sport last night, I forgot how much I love those cars in the snow..... perfect.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Yesterday in LSE's MR we couldn't tell the difference.

I had fun myself in the bare parking lot at the bowling alley last night. Didn't want to get too out of hand since I was in St. Paul. Probably scared the shit out of someone in their parked SUV as I went sideways past them.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Not really. The different modes are more so meant to affect the time it takes to uncouple the front wheels from the rear. The diff locks up under any sort of acceleration, deceleration, turning, breaking, etc. It then unlocks as soon as the car is going straight (Tarmac mode). In gravel(also rain) mode, it will wait a few seconds (3-4) before uncoupling the diff. In snow mode, it will wait 8+ seconds to uncouple, so that it is more ready to send power to the rear.

There is also different amounts of pressure holding the clutchpacks together in the various modes. Tarmac is the highest, then Gravel, and then Snow is the weakest. What the various pressures are, I am not sure. There is an excellent write-up over on evom:

See section 2D for the various modes.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Thanks for the good read.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Snowing like a bastard here in central WI. I'm too good to my 2g to take it out in the winter. Is AWD screwing around as fun as some people insist? If it wasn't for the salt, i'd take her out.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

It is insanely fun. Don't waste any more time. Go start it now, warm it up, and go for it. Use the gas pedal to control your steering! ;)

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

awd is what makes winter fun, add a turbo to that mix and its just too much!

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

Dammit! Now i might have to go out there, all the salt is probably below the ice we got yesterday anyways. I have never even rode along in anyones awd car in the winter.

Re: It's FUCKING SNOWING!
 

This is the first winter I've had an AWD car and it is fun as hell.
