I was doing some light drifting... mostly sliding on snow. Apparently my traction sucks. I have a 94 corolla as my beater. But im converting her into a rally car for raacing next year

That will be awesome.
I love the truck in the winter, but I am terrified of getting into a wreck, I dont want to dent the truck, and, previous experiences of accidents gave me PTSD (real life on that one, they were BAD)
But mostly, dont want to wreck the truck.

We've had one snow day in Colorado Springs, and that wasn't much. For being a snow state, it's sure been dry for the past three years.

The only thing I am excited for this winter is the LED tail lights I built, the LED reverse lights I built, the HID's that I put in, and the LED bumper blinkers that I am building right now. I grew up in both North Carolina, and MN, and NC is in my blood and I do not like winter or snow.
but since you posted a photo of your Jimmy in the snow, here is my Jimmy from last winter.

that is what I heard up there. the best you could do is retrofit some projectors in the headlights.
I know quite a few people who have retrofitted LED's into the tail lights, but its not easy.
Its taken a good few years of doing it for me to be comfortable with it.
Right now, I just have a good plug n play HID kit in the headlights aimed "properly" without HID projectors.
But the US is a little more lenient on that.
