went to the home depot last night....but it was closed....spent about 20min screwing around in the fresh snow in the mall parking lot....im sure i turned a lot of heads weaving between lamp posts sideways!

Here's a really basic question... how bad is doing e-brake turns in the snow for your tires/wheels/alignment/parking brake? I do them a lot, so I don't care too much, but I get the hassle from the girlfriend. Can I tell her it's totally fine?

i would say its no worse on the ebrake as using it, generally

once the rear wheels lock and slide on the snow its not hard on the car

unless you hit a patch of pavement....or run the wheels/tires over a super bumpy surface.

that being said, i had the yaris out before xmas and ran it on a non-smooth parking lot (heavy snow and someone had already ebraked-up the parking lot so there was mounds of tire tracks already) and the yaris still feels fine up to 130kph on the highway and the ebrake still works fine
