Default Your 2IS eating doughnuts

Winter is upon us again, and so is the snow (for most of us at least). I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to play in snow this time of the year so I thought it would be cool to start a thread just for that purpose. Post a pic or video of your IS doing doughnuts.



Normally we get more snow in OH but weather is kinda weird this year. Finally got some snow that stuck today so I decided to go out and play. This is my first winter with my IS, prior to this I made it through 4 winters with a Honda S2000. Today I got to find out what AWD was capable of in the snow and I was pleased

I have to admit it handles better than the S2000 with or without snow.

Nice ap1. I had stock suspension in mine. Don't know if you changed urs or not but that's just my opinion. The is Awd hugs the road much better to me. I had my s2k for 4 and a half years living in Dallas Louisiana Pennsylvania and Ohio so i drove in all kinds of weather.

How does AWD affect doing donuts in the snow? I used to live in Wisconsin and have done TONS of donuts in FWD and RWD cars, but never AWD.

Nice doughnuts. I killed a quarter tank in the GS the other day doing the same thing. Later that night ended up in someone's yard :/

great control, I don't know how you can do a full doughnut in fwd maybe half? Which I always was only capable of doing half with FWD unless I was going in reverse. With RWD I could do doughnuts all day but figure 8s were harder to pull off. This is my first AWD car and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Yes it was fun. For a minute I felt like Jeremy Clarkson

Oh man sorry to hear that hope it was not as serious as it sounds. I only play in empty parking lots. Even though I know my car can handle the snow I still drive at a moderate speed just to be safe and keep my distance from others. Anytime I see anyone getting close to me I softly hit my brake lights so they know to stay away. Nothing annoys me more when people are riding my a** I keep enough distance to see the tires on the car in front of me in case anyone hits me from behind I wont hit the person in front of me



Makes me sad no one else has done any parking lot drifting =( lol
