Tried new moves in the snow.

I tried drifting in the snow in an empty parking lot up on a roof that has an incline. It was all fresh snow - about half a foot. I even tried doing some sidewinder moves which I'm sure no one has tried with their 8th gen civic. Just like a sidewinder snake. I did some testing on my ABS braking in the snow and snow traction testing too. The Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires are only average. I think they would have been rated below average if they weren't probably inflated to the correct PSI. I remember driving on Saturday and it was snowing and the ABS system was on like most of the time I tried braking. When I got to work, I discovered that my air pressure for the tires were underinflated. When I reinflated the tires, I had better braking and less use of the ABS system when I drove my car on Sunday when it was basically a snow storm.

Sounds like fun.

Next time, I'll bring the camera and I'll get it on video.
