Re: The joys of small, squishy tires
Yep... I get it too. I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. When it snowed, there was very little clearing of the roadways. Thirty year s later, this made my first autocross experience a blast, although my times suffered because I was having so much fun drifting the Boxster through the course on low-grip tires (mounted on the used car by the dealer before I bought it).

My real reason for this post is to share something I saw on an episode of Top Gear where they discussed this same fun-to-drive concept. Their pick among brand-new cars for this type of fun is the Subaru BRZ.
