Question: How many of you out there do this?
Just as a random question, how many of you SVXers out there get kicks from forcing a slide in the ice and snow whether in a turn when no one is around or in a parking lot etc.?

I think the answer to that one would be....
EVERYONE.

I know I do. I was coming out from work where we have a large dirt lot behind the place. I had some fun and was able to drift completely sideways for a little while. Good times.

I'm going to agree - I think all of us who have the opportunity do this. Hell, I used to do it on gravel.

heehee, dirt, gravel, snow, ice, sometimes even cold, wet pavement.. i'd say that 2" of fresh snow on top of a ice or packed snow base is my favorite condition.. i also adore it when the parking lot isn't COMPLETELY devoid of light posts, curbs, etc.. it's nice to have a little "course" to manuver around..

PS, please don't look at all the mud on my truck, covering the underside, on the seats because I didn't roll the windows up, on the roof, on the hood, in the bed... That is NOT an indication I was sliding arround in the mud, drifting sideways, or spining brodies...

In all honesty, I really don't do it much in the SVX. For one, I'm still not that comfortable playing with the car, mainly because of the weight. And second, I really don't want to hurt her. I took her around the high school parking lot a couple of times during the first big storm, but only because I knew I couldn't possibly hit anything, and because I knew the roads hadn't been salted yet.
Now the XT6 is a completely different story. I'm still much more comfortable with it, and I don't care as much if I tweak the body, so I hammer on it every chance I get, which is about every stop sign, traffic light, or abandoned parking lot I see. Snow, ice, rain, gravel, dirt, grass, I don't care. Hell, I've even tried it on dry pavement one than once, it don't work too good, though. Going straight, around a corner, or around in a circle, it's all good. Needles to say, very few people enjoy riding with me in the XT6.
