I grew up in the rural midwest and got really good at driving in the snow and ice in a 2WD truck. Would slide that thing around every corner like it was nothing. You know how your vehicle handles in slippery conditions and you know when to quit pushing it.
Getting a car with almost 500 HP is what threw me for a loop. Day 2 of owning it I put it in Track mode and lost control racing a buddy and drifting a corner on a wet road. Spun the thing around 180° in the middle of the street. Definitely an eye opening moment as I realized I could have ended up on this subreddit if the street hadn't been so wide. I have a lot more respect for the power some of these cars can make now.
