I Only Miss Blizzard Snow Because of the Drifting
96% of the people when confronted by the snowstorm hitting the U.S. where it is supposed to snow this time of year, Mr. and Mrs. Newcaster, would look at the blizzard and say “Holy Shit” if they attempted to drive in it.
Those of us from Michigan just say “Watch this!”
Drifting, was invented in the snow covered portions of the U.S. and then stolen by the Japanese who decided that sliding a car sideways – on asphalt – on a track – represents a thrill.
Real drifting is best accomplished on snow, on a city street with limited width and a line of traffic creeping along, or a parking lot.
Street Drift Sans Snow
This is the only time I miss blizzards, because most people who are experienced snow drivers know that this is the time to stay home and let us drifters have our fun.
Then the snow plows and salt crews come along and spoil it all.
Ah, you have brought back memories for me. I had a 50cc motorcycle in the UK when I was 16 and in the snow we would ride round corners like on a speedway track. The best year of my life!
Nice picture! That’s generally easy driving. The hardest part is driving on pure ice. Now that’s when it gets truly hairy. Around here they just don’t pay attention on how to drive in any conditions. Hell, they can’t even drive when it’s 85 and sunny all day.
Tell that to the idiots in Southern Indiana and Louisville area that get scared to death every time they have to drive. The worst part isn’t snowpacked roads. That’s generally easy driving. The hardest part is driving on pure ice. Now that’s when it gets truly hairy. Around here they just don’t pay attention on how to drive in any conditions. Hell, they can’t even drive when its 85 and sunny all day.
Drifting has to be done on the snow? Well, what do ya’ know. And here I thought that was just the normal way of driving. No wonder I was getting all them threatening letters from people I didn’t know.
