Sliding a car in the snow is to me what a line of butter-stick-shaped sex toys is to Paula Dean. I saw this video of 1978 WRC Champ Markku Alen and thought, “that’s the most perfect moment the world could offer.” Drifting snowy corners while giggling out loud, “I’m driving a ************** Ferrari right now!” would be incredible.
But I think it would also make me a little nervous. Sliding a $35k Subaru around is fun, and the consequences of failure aren’t TOO bad. But a miscalculation in a car costing over $300,000 would leave me a sobbing, self-hating mess. There’s a great feeling you get from not giving a fuck; it removes the limiter on the fun meter. I wouldn’t turn down this opportunity and I’m not saying I wouldn’t put the memory in the spank bank, but I’d be nervous as hell of that front lip clipping a snow bank. Ah well, 84,323 posts and I’ll have that spoiler paid for. Make the jump to watch Alen do it proper.
