Offroading on snow is fun. Bewteen X-mas and New Year's I went up to
Detroit to visit my good friend Steve...we took his WRX offroad rally racing
in the snow...let me tell you there's nothing like opposite lock drifting
with all 4 wheels spinning on the snow... Good times!! I only wish that I
would have had the money to get a 4x4 when I bought my Dak.
