Car is going into the shop in the morning. I caught a curb in best buy parking lot, didn't think i hit it that hard. The front wheel is pushed back and it's rubbing something. Since it's snowing I can't really take a look at it.

Sorry to hear that. There is a bunch of snow victims here already.

 

Be extra easy in that snow.

 

unless your in an open parking lot with no curbs, poles or cars.....then have some fun with the handbrake!

 

i was trying to make sure i didn't hit any cars in the parking lot.

 

Hand braking is fun

 

Hell yeah, did that yestarday!

 

Move to FL, that's what I did
Sure, I miss WaWa, but no snow is a luxury that NJ can't afford.

 

Sorry to hear about the rubbbing..........BTW..what do u guys mean by hand braking??

 

Driving on snow and using the handbrake to lock the rear wheels only forcing the car to oversteer. If you're good and know how to use the handbrake, acclerator and regular brake together, you can make the car do a 360 and keep driving.

Just make sure there is nobody, no cars or poles or dry spots etc. and just have fun....

 

Turn the wheels pull up the parking brakes and the fun begins.

 

I spent some time in Evergreen, CO this past month and I found myself learning some rally driving skills. It is kinda dangerous with all that snow and all them trees. I noticed that it helps to have more speed when drifting around corners and the drift is eaiser to control with more speed.
Have fun and be careful when the white stuff falls.

 

Well I talked to the Nissan dealership(should have to took it to my Nissan certified buddies), Right now I'm at 850 , without an alignment. That's just replacing the lower support brace, the wheel, and the hub cap. OUCH

So we'll see the final outcome

 

how do you do that 360 ?

 

So do you just accelerate & turn the wheels as you pull up the emergency brake? Or do you have to hit the brakes also? Please explain in detail what to do, cause I want to know. Thanks.

 

This is how I do it. Get the car moving with some speed. Than slightly turn the wheels and pull-up the parking brake. Than once the rear end comes out turn in to the skid and hit the gas to go sideways. You can also pull up the parking brake and put the car in reverse and floor it. You will turn untill you lay of the pedal. Have fun and make sure the parking is clear.

Rally cornering:
You have to carry speed into the corner. Once you start the turn, you give the E brake a tug to start the slide, but you don't want to set it. Once the rear starts to come around you just point the wheels and power your way out of the corner without losing too much FW traction.(At least this is how I learned how to do it)

 

You're right I forgot to mention to put the brake down.
