I just watched the video again... dude, you come in here claming you don't need AWD if you have "skills"

Yet you're driving with your foot to the floor with traction control on..?? At least that's what it sounds like.

AND that's like 1/8th of an inch of snow on that road.... any car with decent snow tires and either someone who knew not to floor it on snow OR had traction control...could make it up that tiny hill

While it looks like you had a good time, please don't go around thinking that this was a challenge. My camaro could have made it up just as easily without me even pushing the gas pedal.

LOL

Skills = No traction control and at least 2 inches of snow. Then I'd give you props!

i mma previous IS300 owner drove in the snow for 6years with that car RWD ... i personally went up steeper hills then that in the snow...alot more snow with freakin low profile tires ... seriously stop claiming ur hot shizznit ... cali boys might love u for this video cuz they dont get snow nor a real driver that goes thru this every year with RWD will ever brag about it but ppl that live in the area n drive around here we kno wat we are up against and how to drive in it... n i agree with wat eva Jmags said .... btw u were fishtailing cuz u had ur foot down so heavy

btw jus saw the video again... WAT fishtailing???!!! i saw a person that claims they can drive in light snow scared as a ****... THE end i will not entertain this any longer

Haha yeah, the OP sounded like he needed new underpants in the video. Because that's how daily commute in the winter is like for everyone in the winter lol All I know is I have the most stress free of drives in the worst of snow this winter.

There was no drifting in that video at all. I personally fear snow, but I know that and can live with that.
I'm from NY and we don't all talk like the OP.

Aren't you burning up extra tread by spinning it out all the way up the hill? Hah, I have awd and we had wet snow yesterday. I actually had my car beep at me because when trying to reverse out of a spot that was in a slight decline it didn't get traction lol. I do have terrible oem tires though
