well i was out tonight havin fun in some dumping snow and took this turn and for some reason slammed the breaks. (stupid me) slid into an iced snow bank and my front right fog light covers came out and snapped off.. broke off the screwes...snapped uhm back in place but it still pissed me off shoulda added more gas

 

then u woulda crashed harder lol... i think sanjay dnjay or whatever his name is should read this

 

not true totally true mr. phil. if he let go of the gas, lightly touch the brakes and wait a short moment for the the front wheels to grip, then turn the wheel about a full turn away from the bank and then slowly added gas he woulda gotten out with less damage. slamming on your brakes is the worst thing you can do on snow or ice. if you don't believe me, try going down a street with slippery snow on it, slowly push on the brakes until you feel the front wheels lose grip and you'll quickly find out that you actually slow down a lot slower.

as for drifting with a fwd, why not? plenty of people do it.

 

Yep, static friction vs. dynamic friction. You always want to have static friction when on icey and snowy roads. Like when taking off on snowy roads, don't just lay into the pedal like you normally would, youll find yourself barely moving and looking like an idiot to anyone who see's you lol.Thats dynamic friction. Slowly apply the gas pedal, don't let those wheels lose grip, idle if you have to, thats static friction.

 

i was completely joking about the drifting thing

 

really brakes helps almost 0% in the snow. its all about having a manual and going through your gears first gear is easy to keep control or spin the tires with

 

I wish I had a stick sometimes.

 

i wont drive anything but a stick... unless its some beater crap car i dont care about

 

+1, this audi is my first car and it took me almost a year to find a stick quattro 1.8t with a good price. got it from a dealership that was hurting for $5500

 

wel mine is front track, but its a stick and v6 and i only paid 1500... so im not complaining
