Icy parking lots are an awful lot of fun

Post by 555BCTurbo »

So, I live across the street from my college's main parking lot, which is about 1/8th mile of smooth pavement, which was VERY icy tonight...

So I did what any self respecting Subaru owner would do:

Clicky for video...

It's at about midnight, so you can't see much apart from my lights, but it gives you a good idea of how I was spinning around, and it sounds neat too :o

I like to do this when leaving work at 1AM, hahahaha. It's even more fun when you have to avoid the cement anchors on the lightposts!

You'll be getting some of what we got today, and will be getting for the weekend. It's 3+ inches here so far, so you'll get a few feet :)

is it me or is it poor video? looks like your Drivers side front markerlight flickers. Might want to check to make sure the bulb has good connections.

otherwise... looks like a ton of fun!

We had some of the light powder that Utah is famous for yesterday, and I did my first scoobynuts. I'd never been able to do it before, successfully, because this is the first AWD car I've had with an LSD, which helps.

Fun.
