If the Evo was driven like it was "meant to be driven" - anytime of the year, then we'd all be driving like you.. and wrecking

it is almost never about you....

Crazy video, though.. geez.

And if I wasn't clear, I drive my Evo in the snow to be safe, not to show bravado.. people usually pass me, not vice-versa.

I've had a few wrecks in the snow, and even driving slowly and carefully, it's still f'ing scary.

Everyone be safe out there.. whatever you're driving

^^^the biggest problem in the winter is the salt, then other people on the road( example above) then a ground clearance,and so on so forth. It is basically not about your capibilities..... not even close.

This is why we pay out the *** for insurance. And why they make car washes.
