Seasonal Depression

It's the stuff used to make rally drivers.

I run snow tires on the Grand Cherokee for a ski vehicle. It's pretty much unstoppable - but it's also the least rewarding vehicle ever devised for a snowy parking lot. It just hooks up and accelerates. No donutty or four wheel drifting fun. A Subaru Legacy GT on four Hakkellittas, now that's something else!

Properly applied hand braking action can fix that...No hand brake? Use left hand and pull on the "parking brake release" while braking with left foot on "parking brake"

That wouldn't work in a Land Rover where the hand brake is a drum on the back of the transfer case I used to handbrake turn my Golf when I lived in Canada. Brakes were too over-boosted to make left foot braking work well, but the Passat was good for that...

I'm waiting till I actually see some snow/ice on the ground before I swap the snow tires onto the MS3. While I'm not planning on entering any motorsports events this winter, I'm sure I'll have plenty to work on with getting my turbo FC on the road. Since the body isn't as cherry as I thought it was when I bought it, I might take it to a snow-covered rallycross event for some testing if I can get it on the road.

Bring it. Here in the PNW we're slated to have a strong La Nina winter. Last time we had a good one, Mt. Baker got 1,100+ inches.

I am going to tear into the rear of the Supra tomorrow. Brake calipers are rebuilt, now I am replacing CVs, pulling rear hubs and pressing in extended lug studs...While I'm at it, replacing the rear wheel bearings.

Seasonal nothing. It's still quite pleasant here in Atlanta.

I put the snow tires on my camaro last night, along with a quick inspection while I was in there to check for any new problems. Looks like I need new sway bar end links up front.

Can't wait to actually have some snow to play in, don't care much for it just being cold out.
