Re: Snow now more slippery or are cars less grippy?
My old man got stuck in the Z last week after taking evasive action to avoid being hit by some cunt on the lane to his place. He rang me and I headed straight out with rope and a shovel. He neglected to tell me the car was sat on a bed of ice about 3" thick, not helped by the fact I still haven't changed the track day tyres on the front of the Inastate. 
I stopped behind him, assessed, tried to get by his car, mine wouldn't even pull away. I had to reverse back 35-50 yards to enable to try and pull round him. Long length of rope, same story, I had to abandon him outside a local farm after reversing all the way down the lane.
It was only later that evening and I was trying to figure out why both wheels wouldn't spin on the Z and it felt like it was bogging when I tried to pull away, it's got a slip diff on it I know that. A moment of realisation. It's got traction control on it and you haven't turned off the ESP you daft cunt.
