    We didn't plan on leaving the house, so I took the STI out to check the road conditions. :biggrin:

    Your correct, the slopey curbs are the best! It takes some skill to maintain a nice donut on such smooth glassie roads like that (With out hiting the neighbors cable box). Great Video!

    I had to go out late Saturday night just to see how well the all-wheel-drive works. It goes just fine, it's the stopping that can be a problem. And damn is it cold outside today.

    Yeah I went out today to have a little fun and ran back home because everybody else on the road scared me silly. AWD is fun as hell in the snow though.
