yeah, it was absolutely insane. I had my rear walk on me a couple of times but had the TC off so just corrected and powered through, no biggie, but people were still trying to do like 65 in that crap. I was like "WTF.... did you just not see the Jack-knifed SEMI you just passed?"... wish I didn't have to work today so i could have went and found a parking lot to play in..... oh well next time.

I had fun playing in the snow today. Did a few donuts on the bridge going into newport right by Great American (No one was on the bridge but me, dont worry)
About lost my damn mind driving behind some dude going 15-20 for about 20 minutes in a 55. I swear people dont know what to do when there is snow on the ground.

For the majority of drivers in the area, it seems they follow two ridiculous rules
1) If there are light flurries that aren't sticking, or if it's simply raining, go 40 in a 65.
2) If it's a blizzard and the roads are actually dangerous, go 80 in a 65. Or 20 in a 65. One or the other. (and make sure you only leave 0.5 to 1 car length between you and that white Evo in front of you)
Arg!

My continual frustration is this:

It is quite frustrating! Especially when I come from Michigan where this weather is a daily occurance. But then again there are still idiot drivers there too. Just less I suppose.

If you're looking for a shop, Turn In Concepts is the place. Not to undercut TIC, since Im trying to get a job with them, but I could take care of you on the side. PM me if you'd like.
