[V8] V8 in the snow

[Seamus O'Carey]

I've been delighted by the way my car has been handling in the snow.  It
seems to pretty much do anything I ask of it.  So last night I decided to
play around in an empty parking lot.  I had a couple friends in the car with
me who kept thinking I was about to hit something, but I'd just feather the
gas a little and it would go wherever I was pointing it.

The only problem was that there were the occasional patches of bare pavement
where the tires would be able to suddenly grab.  It's not too good for them
if you're going sideways.  I guess I must have loosened up the bead seal,
because today I suddenly popped the tire partially off the rim, which made
me slide into a curb.  Now it feels like it needs an alignment.  I just hope
that the alignment is the only thing that got screwed up.  :(
