Naw, I see enough stupid stuff like that around here anyhow. People from the land of almost no snow come here, see 3 inches, and then panic. I've seen people using chains on clear roads out of fear of some ice.

Its a joke and a half.

I don't get why though, I've been driving for almost a year, and driving in snow was the funnest thing I've ever done behind the wheel of a car without breaking the law.

Go to New York in the winter. Being stuck in 3 feet of snow is NOT fun.

Other than that, the snow burnouts, drifting in parking lots, 360s, are very fun:dopey:
 
Yea, when i last visited michigan in the summer, i would take my truck out and do donuts, and kinda drift a little bit. It was fun no doubt.
 
Its quite hilly where we are though, and I do have some trouble getting up hills with a bunch of fresh snow. But I am also running "all seasons" that are a bit more summer tires.

Its great fun I think though, except in my MR2, where its scary as hell because I can't go in a straight line... my Corolla on the other hand loves it.

Driving on snow and ice is as much fun as having a root canal with no anesthetic. There are these things called "hills"...
 
Kyle, you are from Seattle... you guys don't get snow. So shush :P

(The weather here is pretty screwed up, slush and ice (with a chance of late afternoon blood) which kept us both home today. In Spokane, there would be gravel out and other public safety measures, but when snow falls over on this side of the state people don't see it as weather, it's seen as a portent - evidence of an angry pantheon. A single snowflake will fall on their windshield, and they will immediately swerve their SUV into a truck hauling fuel.

Seriously, you guys are funny to watch drive on any real amount of snow.

And Balance, chains will help in 3 feet of snow. Thats kind of what they are for, deep snow and packed snow :P
 
Chains? Who needs chains?? I drove a Mazda MX-5 in some real snow last year in the wilds of North Yorkshire.
And I have pics to prove it :D
 
I could jump in and talk about snow driving all day long with you guys, but instead, I thought I'd let you know that the topic at hand here is "Questionable Modifications".... ;)
 
It always saddens me to see such things done to Neons. Loving the big dent in the front door:

Now with only slightly more non-functioning scoops than stock:

...and the ugly spoiler and the ghastly exhaust and the awful lights yeah...

Nothing that couldn't be replaced. the spoiler could be augmented with front aerodynamic devices, as well, making it functional. the exhaust could always be routed out underneath the passenger-side door, and the ricer tails replaced with stock lamps. (One's broken, anyway.)

Of course, the next step is to gut and 'cage the interior. ^^

Or, you could just drive it full speed into a brick wall and get another one of the thousands of Neons on used-car lots for a pittance.
 
Hmm...
