This Is How You Drive In The Snow

Call it the Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon, Snostradmus, or just SnOMG, it's snowy outside and people are abandoning their vehicles. Why? We have no idea. Here's proof from the Sno*Drift 2011 Rally showing just how easy it is for any vehicle — whether they be FWD, RWD, or AWD — to conquer the snow.

It's no surprise and AWD vehicle like this Subaru WRX can conquer the snow at the Sno*Drift Rally.

What about a RWD Volvo? The Volvo 240 "Brick" is a fairly popular choice for snow drifting. Remember this when you complain that you can't drive your Miata in the snow.

Make sure to paint your car in bright colors so they can find you if you end up shiny side up.

The Ford Fiesta's a popular choice, given its small size and the ability to replace it cheaply.

Still, it's hard to top a good ol' Subaru WRX.

Which can even drive back to the stating area if it loses a wheel, as this WRX did.
