Default G35 in the snow

Just noticed this forum, so I'll post up my old video.

21 MB video / Right click and save as...

OK, this was literally the first week I had the car so I didn't want to push it. This is also my first manual car, so I was still in the learning phase. Finally, you can't fully disable VDC on the G35 with the VDC off button. It does give you a little more room to play, but if it detects you completely going out of control, VDC will still kick in. The only way to disable it is to pull the fuse. I did not know this at the time. Please pardon the lame driving... I thought it was cool at the time.

I had planned to do a follow up video one year later with better "stunts" but it never snowed on the weekends this year. Couldn't find an empty unplowed parking lot at the right times.

I got them off ebay. But I think JC whitney sells them. Installing it is pretty simple, it came with instructions. However, I wanted it wired with my remote starter so that whenever I remote start the car, I could have the knight rider lights turn on automatically for an added cool effect. In order to get that done, it cost $50 at the place where I had my starter installed.

Here is a video of just the light/remote starter.
