    I'd clock the mother f'er. Not for crashing but for laughing and saying it was my car.

    Video reminds me... I'm planning on doing snow tracking at Monticello this year if they offer it again.

    aren't Nokian supposed to be the end-all, be-all snow tire.

    this is not very encouraging

    if you overdrive the tires, of course you'll crash.

    PLus, these are consumer tires.... not the super thin studded tires you see in WRC

    I think you need to understand the German commentary prior to that to understand why he says that .

    The driver apparently was driving a little bit too enthusiastically. Hence his apologies when the wheelman replies. "It's your car" do his apology.
