Message	carefully. I got caught about an hour away from my house at about 2AM i nite and on the way home it started to pound the street w/ snow. I continued to drive very slowly and very carefully being careful of my acceleration and braking. It was an extremly nerveracking ride home that night and then only 2 miles from my house i was coming off the off-ramp i was very slow (15 mph at best) and then got on the straigh road towards my house (was flat and level) and gave it some gas & my ass end kicked out quickly so i left off and tapped the brakes and tried to correct the kick out & she then kicked around the other way very severly and i ended up spinning into oncoming traffic lane (luckily it was 3am and was about an 1/2 inch of snow on the road so no one was on the road) so but the spin through me into the opposite side of the road agains the gaurdrail -- scared the shit out of me to say the least -- luckily no real damage as there was still a bunch of snow from the previous storm pushed against the rail. THEN got worse I was literally 300 yrs from my house coming down a slight slope and going about 10 mph but i felt a little slide out of nowhere so i tapped the brakes and bingo -- slid me around and i couldnt control her so i did another complete spin into the oncoming lane (no traffic again luckily) and it banged me against the curb. Got home and have actually never taken my Z out in the snow again. I've had several close calls in the rain as well -- but hell when u have a TT rear wheel drive -- this is the risk you run.
