what many people don't realize when the back end of a fwd car is trying to catch up to the front you need to turn into the spin and floor it so the front wheels will pull it out of a spin. If you take your foot off the gas they engine will slow the front end down causing the car to spin more.

That and it takes away traction from the front to balance the grip levels at both ends.

Yesterday during the deluge I went over to Staten Island to grab some stock steel Jeep wheels I found on Craigslist for FREE! I could have used a boat it was so wet. Anyway today I broke the tires off and power wire-brushed the rust off the beads. Then I took the tires to the sanitation tire dumpster. Tomorrow I will start painting them. I'll post pics when they look nice.

That's not how Iowa rolls unfortunately. In winter it's either 10mph or 80. No inbetween.
