    I would want snow but I have no idea how to drive in it.

    That'd be the only thing I'm afraid of if I ever get to move back up north. :(

    *Far off in the distance, you can just make out DWynter running towards you. He stumbles once, twice, but gets right back up, and continues running toward you. Somehow, he manages to step in the only cow pie in the field, and run into the only tree for miles around. Everypony stands and watches, wondering if he'll make it. Finally, he arrives in front of you, and says:*

    It's-

    Well, you got the right idea, any ways.

    Hello fellow Bronies! Managed to squeeze out some spare time, so I thought I'd drop by and annoy everypony here.

    Front wheel drive: If the rear of the car starts to slide, turn the wheel where you want to go and hit the gas. If the whole car slides forward into a turn (understeer) then let off the gas and turn the wheel where you want to go to demand more traction from the front end.

    Rear wheel drive: If the rear starts to slide, let off the gas and turn where you want to go. Same as above if you lose traction in the front.


    Don't hit the brakes in extremely slippery conditions like snow or ice, you'll just slide. You have to go against your instincts and stay calm. Also, if you're sliding towards an object or off the road, do not look in that direction. You'll subconsciously make yourself go in that direction, which will cause a crash. It's called target fixation. Instead look at where you want to go in order to avoid the crash. You should do this in any danger avoidance type situation when driving.


    You can find videos and websites all over that can give you good tips for driving in the snow, then when it does snow, find youself a big empty parking lot and practice by sliding around and attempting to maintain control of the vehicle. Practice makes perfect. I live up in the north so whenever it snows we go and slide around our cars for fun, and it really helps when a situation pops up on the road when you need to know how to avoid a crash in slippery conditions.


    Fun facts :)



    Anyway, so I was just at Gamestop and I was browsing what they had on the wall, so when a female employee came walking over to me and asked if I needed something I didn't even notice she was addressing me...until I heard a crash. She accidentally bumped into one of the the display racks on the wall and knocked some of the games over. I should have went over and helped her pick up the games...but I didn't even think to... Now I feel like such a jerk :/

    Hindsight's wonderful that way. So many times I looked back and said, "Why didn't I do that?" Or more commonly, "Why did I do that?"

    Yeah. It's a full-fledged, fan-made Fire Emblem and a prequel to Blazing Sword. Marcus is a kid in it, and the main Lord is a Hector-like sword user that has a special Claymore (like a heavy Rapier in how it works).
