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 to say the car stays amazingly balanced even on ice. I have to work on it to get things swinging around.
