      Snowdrift-ing

      As most in the NE region have probably expirienced, its time to drive on snowy roads.

      Im just south of Lake Ontario. Finally winter is hitting and the roads have been slick and slushy for a few days.

      I've been getting good at drifting my aveo with the handbrake.

      At first it was parking lots to get a feel for how the car reacts.

      Today was my first on road--(oh and Im not telling anyone to actually try this or believe me). Better off not trying it, versus damaging your car.

      On a snow packed road, early in the am with no other traffic present I had the tail wide turning onto a left hand road. I gunned it and it pulled out of the drift smoothly.

      It would take a lot more car to get the same effect on dry pavement. It sure was cool feeling like I was in a skyline gtr for a second or 2...lol.

      Hope my little aveo didnt mind. Seemed to handle it just fine
