If you've never done donuts in a parking lot in the snow, for everybody's sake, stay safe and inside.

I also saw on the news in the background a bunch of cars abandoned. The two closest ones were BMWs.

Oh man, you American's really can't take snow! I've driven my Bimmer in 2ft of snow!!

That's Rob Eskew's S54 transplanted M3. He works for Markert Motorworks and is a fellow Club Racer. No idea on back story.

These are just the southern states - us Americans in the north, such as here in New England, know how to drive in the snow. You can say the word "snow" in the south and they'll close up and go home early.

Didn't they do that in San Antonio last week too?

Too bad. I doubt he'll be able to R3scue that.

Big Deal. Driving in snow is so easy even a Canadian can do it. Try driving in snow with your car completely engulfed in flames, or with an armed man trying to get into your trunk. These are the kinds of things Americans have to deal with.

Sir, you don't appreciate how dangerous it is to drive in Canadian snow! We have Mooses (Meese?) EVERYWHERE. I was once stuck in traffic for 2 hours because a deer thought it'd be a good idea to run through 4 lanes of traffic. The Civic that hit it lost. That's in Toronto, the third largest city in NA.

Not a fair comparison. We're still a developing nation that can only dream of having mooses, deer with ideas and large cities with 4 lanes of traffic.

That looks like Rob in the youtube clip. I only met him once when they did a brake job for me. That sucks. Hope no one got hurt.
