Default 4 wheel drifting!

I love the Snow! I took out our Honda CR-V all-wheel drive today and in an empty area got it to drift with all 4 wheels going...not the same feeling as a WRX, but still fun! (My Z is lowered around 2.5", so it's sit'n pretty in the garage unilt the snow clears)

(I recently moved up from Cali...never lived in an area where it snows)

LOL... I'm glad someone is enjoying this weather.

Tonight we went out before it started snowing here in Renton. We attempted to get back around 8PM and after a 1/2 hour of trying to get up the hill into our neighborhood we gave up and abandoned my wife's car on the road-side amoung the dozen or so cars that couldn't make it up the hill either. It took another 1/2 hour to walk home.

Man .... I'm getting a Frontier 4x4.

Which part of Renton? I'm in Fairwood area, but I made it home before too much snow hit on Monday. Didn't drive yesterday (hills were pure ice) but intend to go into work tomorrow. I've got Pirelli Winter 210's all the way around, and cable chains (just in case of deep stuff). Should be intersting....

I'm in Winsper, a few blocks NE of Valley Medical. I'm working from home today, can't get any of our cars out since we live on a hill and it's all iced over. We sold our SUV 2 weeks ago not expecting something like this would happen. I'm working from home today and by the looks of things weather-wise; I might again tommorrow.

Ahh this sucks... I'm getting cabin fever.

Yesterday I got my wife's car home. This morning I tried to get my S14 up the hill we live on. I even put tire chains on it. There was a thin layer of ice on the road around my car, it made the chains useless since there was nothing to dig into and nothing for the rubber to grip. Now it's stuck more than before.
