Why you don't drive your RX-8 in the snow with OEM tires, top speed is about 10MPH and FORGET trying to back up. Next time, fun with TCS/DSC OFF. :D

Better with the TCS/DSC off, last winter it was the only way I could get up my street. Otherwise the TCS removes power from the wheel in turn and you end up shimeying backwards even with the power down!
Found if you floor it and steer into the rear you can keep it kinda straight and get enough heat to melt some of the snow!
Nice vid, was waiting for the filmer to fall over with all the jerking around at one bit
