I know this is't a tech. question but i have to know. Am i the only guy who when it snows has to try and get slideways on almost every stop and turn, ahhh who am i kidding every chance you get i dont do it around other cars and stuff but parking lots, side streets, ect. i think i have a problem with this but my 4runner is so much fun.does anyone else do this?

 

I only do it at night when there are only a few cars on the road. If I do it when there are a lot of people around, I feel like they're all thinking "Just another stupid teenager trying to be cool"...then I feel stupid haha.

But yeah..parking lots are fun.

 

No dude I cant help it either, I live on an air base and theres this huge empty parking lot beside the barracks. so much fun

 

Clearly you should all be seeking professional help. The actions noted above are both inconsiderate to other drivers and an overall menace to society. I have never, and would never, try to have fun sliding in my Yota. Yotas are for serious people. They are not for fun. Fools.

 

snow ? all we have here is sand

 

I have an 02 4Runner and have yet to do the Andymod, so no fun for me. If I try to go sideways my truck beeps at me and politely corrects itself, stupid truck!

 

That's the truth, whenever I get that itch to spin the tires, I get an audio/visual reminder that keeps me in check.....kinda like getting your hands slapped by a ruler in grade school.

VSC off solves that though...

 

Of course. Only at low speed though. The best is to put together a drifting course, then run it late at night after a good snow.

 

Drifting, Slideways, Donuts......but not just in the snow

In my old 3.Slow I used to drift around the 4 way intersection near my house after.....er having one too many shall I say, and the screeching tires waking up the neighborhood. They smelled soooo good, the cops didn't think so though

 

On a serious note, please do this responsibly. There are enough accidents when the snow starts to fly, so we don't need to be purposely adding to that statistic. I'll admit it's fun and I do it, but only when there are absolutely no cars on the road (road meaning side road, not a main).

 

ah thats the best... i love getting pylons and setting them up with buddys in biig parking lots.

 

You guys are lucky. Almost every time I try to slide it just throws me into never ending donuts. But then again my tires are practically bald . And we also usually have ice then snow. . .when we get anything. Next winter should be much funner. New meats, locker in the rear, and I'm praying for more snow and less ice

 

I drift every turn i can. i think its funner to do it when there are other cars around so they can see just how bad ass 4runners really are.

 

OK, so put it where it belongs.. Off topic. There truly is a new breed of newbies.

 

Try it with a locker!

 

haha Was doing it earlier today, only on the roads that nobody drives on. But roads turned out to be a bit too icy and ended up doing a 270 to a stop...extremely fun.

 

Well at least I am not the only one enjoying the midwest snow! Don't feel bad because you would have seen me do the exact same thing every 15 seconds...

 

Honestly, I've been enjoying the lack of traction driving the 2wd f150 since the 4rnr is on jack stands. Not getting crazy, but kind of fun not having the Toyota NO Problem in the new snow we got today.

 

We got 4 inches the other day - a lot for us here in nova

Now just to let everyone know, this is private land ( parking lot for one of the pools my dad owns ). I have been flamed on other sites before for posting something similar, but that was because I didn't provide any information prior to posting.

Another disclaimer, my friend taping this has a very "colorful" vocabulary, in case you are offended by vulgarity

good times!
