For some reason, I like snow driving. It kinda feels like off roading, but not as bumpy obviously. I like the slipping and sliding and all that. Just today, I took a turn and had some tail whipping and it was awesome... lol
Anyone agree? I know it sounds crazy, but I like it.

I was driving earlier, and we started sliding and almost went into the ditch, I tensed up so bad. I really don't like driving in the snow, or ice. But it's not impossible, just a lot of ice on the roads right now

Dude, you love it until you hit a pole. Watch it and take it slow. Sideways, but slow.
We never get snow here so I don't really know :P

It all depends on the car I'm driving. If I'm in my moms Chevy Malibu, I don't really like it all that much. But if I'm in my Subaru I just love it. Its so fun drifting into corners, and finding an empty parking lot and doing "snownuts". Just be careful, if you hit ice under snow you'll just slide, brakes wont help at all.

As a Minnesotan, yeah... Ice is a bitch.

I like snow driving because my Audi is AWD and great for snow so I can get great whip and slide... Last week I pulled my car in to the driveway sideways and drifted around a few turns, but I've flipped my friends BMW and that's never fun. :)

Better be safe than sorry. Here in Canada, depending on where you live, most alleys and avenues don't get cleared. Now this is a problem because as cars go on, they dig some sort of trench and believe me trying to park in front of my house is just absolute hell.

I used to hate it but then I finally got winter tires. My car is AWD and 6-speed so it's good in the snow now. I hate driving at night in the snow.

It depends on what I am driving. Snow can be fun under some situations, but other time I get too worried about others. When I'm in my Audi I absolutely hate it. The car handles great, and as long as nobody else is on the road it can be really fun! However when other people are out there I'm afraid they'll hit my baby :(
When I take my mom's Escalade, I tend to not mind so much. It's not my car, plus it's a bit bigger so when some idiot who doesn't get how to drive sideways slams into it, I've got more space around me.

Snow driving the best especially since I have a fwd and the back end never kicks out, cant wait to pick up a rwd car

All i have to drive is trucks, a jeep grand cherokee, and a retired police interceptor. The cop car is rwd and definitely the most fun to drive in snow.

I don't mind it, as long as there aren't steep hills. RWD can be a pain to drive.

Eh... I have a 10-year old car that's been garaged and babied every winter for the past 10 years and never seen snow/salt with the previous owner, so I'm really iffy about it getting dirty and stuff... So I like to avoid snow driving with my car. And my parents' cars suck in the snow, so I don't really like driving in the winter altogether.

It's different, but here in Maine you get used to it fast. I just LOVE drifting around in the other '28 model A! (Has a flathead V-8). The tractors are fun too. We have many idiots in our area, last year a friend and I patrolled main roads on a 1908 80HP Case steam tractor, pulling the dinky little Prius's out, and giving them a good blast of smoke! Fun but dangerous, I guess.
