u wont smile then.. he he.. when it goes it goes.. in fact sixty in snow is f-cking stupid.. it aint lift off when it starts to slip.. when u lose traction going in a straight line and in top gear there is sweet F/A u can do except pray.. when it goes it also goes without any warning.. u simply lose all control of the car.. there is a speed when this will happen.. the way to find it is to think u are cleverer than every f-cker else and go sailing past em.. he he he

sorry dude but going faster than everyone else just means u are more reckless.. simple as that..

for years i used to believe that providing u didnt try and change course.. never alter the gas pedal or brake.. a car was always controlable in snow.. i now know this aint true.. there is a speed when they just go.. he he.. having found that speed once.. i now go slower... he he

what speed did i find.. well about 35 mph.. say 4 inches of virgin snow.. the car was simple going in a perfectly straight line at a perfectly steady speed.. what caused it to go.. a very slight incline i think.. easing off the throttle did nothing.. turning the wheel did nothing.. the car just slowly went sideways slid across the other carridgeway.. the snow slowing things down somewhat till it gently hit the kerb and came to a stop.. no damage was done but there would have been if anything was coming the other way.. anyways this taught me something about driving in snow.. there is also snow and snow.. the traction u get from it can very tremendously.. the very cold freezing stuff is the best to drive on.. ice isnt slippery its the water on the top that is..

be carefull..
