If my wife saw me doing that with mine, she would be saying to me in a nagging tone, "you're going to break your car."

Yes dear.....

I've been out a bunch of times already playing in the snow. I like how it performs with esp off much better in general with the snow tires on. It feels easier to control for me anyway.

I have been hearing a bit of Chinese over the last few days...when we are coming up to a nice clean patch of ice (with no cars, curbs, trees or signs around) and my girlfriend sees me switch the ESP off, all I hear is a bit of aggravated Cantonese....aaiihhyaaa....
I have to say the car stays amazingly balanced even on ice. I have to work on it to get things swinging around.
