Things I love about Formula SAE

I'VE DONE THAT! I'm assuming that you are in the Chicago area when you talk about hooning Brendon.

Yeah, I have a set of friends where we specifically get together to go out and drive in the snow when it snows. Also usually involves sledding at 2 in the morning. I will say that the WRX I have now is a lot more fun to hoon than the Ford Taurus I used to have. I haven't managed to get caught yet either though... Looking forward to your expansion.

+1 My vehicle of choice is a longbed 2WD Dakota with a 5.9L V8 and posi. Fun things like opposite lock powerslides (always more awesome with an 8 ft. bed), 0-point u-turns, drifting on straight roads using the crown of the road, and turning corners using almost exclusively throttle steering. I have a nice 4x4 too, but that makes regular snow driving on plowed roads too boring. To be entertained in that, I need unplowed roads (have gone 60 mph ground speed, not wheel speed, through a foot of snow...it was spectacular), 2 foot drifts, or parking on those giant mountains of snow in parking lots.

WTF is a hoon? Where do I buy one?

Speaking of words that have come into use since I graduated from the Uni and got myself a big-boy-job....

Hoon: (v) To engage in mischief in a motor vehicle.
Hoon: (n) A word used to describe a person who uses cars, motorcycles, or marine power vessels for recreation and fun instead of getting from A to B.

This is the story of how Nick Renold and I got disorderly conduct tickets during the blizzard.
