Yeah, not smart to be driving like that on the streets of that condition. There are other people on the roads, and on top of that you had 2 people in the car. I saw the speedo needle half way or more on the tach, not smart at all especially in that car.

lol.. if that's what you think then 99% of everyone is wrecking their car. There is no harm in using the throttle..
The 7MGE is gonna be swapped so don't care much about it..
I'd replace "dumb" with "fun"darrick;1482534 said:
No masive wear on the tires or the car in the snow.
Thanks, someone who know what fun is!
Biggest problem during winter is salt and rust, but the car is sandblasted and has had a antirust treatment.

I never said it wouldn't be fun but let me re-phrase that, there is no harm in using the throttle, when you know what your doing and on roads with appropriate conditions... Speed kills, maybe not you, because I can already tell you think you are one of the best drivers there are, but other idiots on the road as well.
Why is everyone wrecking there car? Most people don't take their sports cars out on the roads when there is snow/ice, and try to speed and drift their cars, so therefor your wrong again.
I was doing about 120km/t max, and that was on a wide road with street lights, aswell as good traction. It might seem to go fast and not to safe, due to the vibration on the vid, but what you don't know is that before I went in the next corner I was down to 60km/t again.. So I drive fast where I know it's safe. If you think that I'm one of those guys that think their the best drivers in the world, then you should be more carefull of what you say. I recommend you finding something better to do than post your "big words" on the forums, when it appears that you don't have experience at all. What makes you think that the car is getting wrecked? Don't seem that you have very much knowledge if you can't manage to explain why. I live in Norway, and we have about 5-6 months of snow, and when spending all money on the Supra, then if figured, you don't have afford to buy a second car to run around during the winter.
I use my Supra, if you are afraid to use yours then fine, but don't think it gets wrecked by being driven in the winter.
Excuse my norwegian-english.

My supra is a daily driver and my only car. We also have a real winter for about 5 months. There are no better conditions for learning than in snow and ice. Speaking about myself, i need lots and lots of practice, because i can't control a rwd car yet. If i would get in an unexpected slide during normal driving, i don't know if i could control it. So, in these conditions, on a clear road without traffic or in a big parking lot it's perfect to learn how to control a car. This helps a lot if you get in an unexpected critical situation. Also, it's a lot of fun.
It does not mean you practice on city streets, that is the dumb part. Think about other people, the dumb people that pull out in front of you. It is harder to stop on snow than dry pavement, and sometimes there is no way of controlling it, you can guess where your car is going, but you can't be certain of where it could slide or hit a dry spot. Of course I have fun in the snow too, but not in my supra at least not here, it kills cars around here (salty, bad roads, stupid drivers).
Well, my moto is "if it was designed to be driven, it will be driven". If you could see the road conditions, weather and other stuff we have here... I doubt that you would consider any other car than a jeep or suv .
.
thers a few of us that cant help acting up no matter what the conditions are,but in the end you realize that it wasnt a responsible thing to do
i remember drifting the supra in the snow lol, tons of fun. but never did i full throttle it like that. that is what was stupid. i just did little blips of throttle to start the slide and let the snow take if from there lol
I agree with northwestsupra. I play around in the snow a lot(10min ago also ), but never go full throttle. That's to dangerous.
