    It was fun when I was a kid and my dad would stop in an empty parking lot to do doughnuts with us when I was a kid, but I've never gotten to the point of enjoying doing it myself. My settings for winter driving are 1) white-knuckle fear or 2) grim resignation.

      i like to say that practicing that and feeling the point before your car starts to slide is pretty important. You'll likely notice you're coming to that point some time down the line.

      dunno if the cops would believe that excuse, but fuck'em

        If about 2 decades of winter driving hasn't done it yet, I doubt it ever will. I know how to get myself out of a fishtail or spin but it's never become fun for me. I keep thinking that one of these days I'll skip the white-knuckle stage and go straight to grim resignation, but nope! Not yet.
