I hate that feeling of helplessness when all of a sudden you're goin' sideways when you're supposed to be goin' straight!
Luckily, I haven't had that feeling since I bought my Lex. Have to say tho, that green ES in the clip still looks sexy even while it's sliding out of control!

That is a horrifying feeling to loose control.

it's not helpless if you are drifting purposefully =p despite our front wheel drive

oh come on, awd g35 sitting on the side of the road ending up almost 100% exactly same spot at the es 300. i study these ice slip videos carefully. its all about the curve of the road, the weight distribution of the car, not FWD versus part time AWD or 4wd or RWD ....its % tire slip front rear, and it seems most cars with anything less than the best stability /traction/etc computer systems , the wheels will lock up which is not really the bset thing for ice, but most people are programmed if they have abs just push the pedal, but on ice, it seems, the computer doesn't modulate the wheels well enough. actually, in this video, you can see that the es300 wheels stayed pretty locked [not spinning].

yo, how can you tell that's a g35x? it might just be a normal rwd g35. it's facing forward and there is no way to tell if the reason it's sitting on the side of the road was because of slipping.

Lexucan

I think a good guess would be that the G35 parked there cuz it couldn't go any further. I know I wouldn't just park my car in that spot if I had a choice....not with vehicles bouncing off trees, barracades, and other cars like so many pinballs!
