    I went Saturday morning too, I thought 10am would be early enough there'd be no one around! It was way better to feel out my car with only a dozen other cars.. Sunday looked crazy!

    I saw some folks auguring the ice on Saturday and get almost the full auger flight into the ice before water came up.. that's gotta be pretty solid.

    I've parked a drilling rig weighing over 90 tons on ice about 18" thick. I don't think Ghost lake is much of a worry with ice over three feet thick.

    I'd like to drive on that lake again. In the past, I took the SASC winter driving class, on the lake. So much fun.

    Looks to me like he's in the middle of clapping - trying to pose for a "hands off the wheel" pic.

    You should take a performance driving school to learn how to keep your hands near the wheel. Maybe shuffle-steering?

    If you can’t drift using only your knee, are you really Canadian?

    I thought it was the discomfort from holding the wheel of a falsely labelled M vehicle.

    You're right. I can't recall, but I was mainly trying to hot-dog around the course and everything was pretty loose.

    You’re for sure not flailing enough if you’re not turning on signals or wipers
