Last year I was goofin' around at night in a random parking lot in Sparks, NV about two blocks away from the Summit Racing warehouse after 1" of snow fell. I was pulling 180-degree e-brake slides, and the right side of my car slid off the curb sideways into the street. I was lucky enough not to have hurt my car, but the "thud & crunch" noise made by my right front suspension conviced me to pack it in and go home.

Hopefully your car isn't hurt too bad. Betcha won't do that again. Good luck.

Consider yourself lucky. Sideshows-in-the-snow are little too unpredictable for my wallet.
