What would a normal (?) car-napping young man do with his father's S-Class in the snow? Try to drift the hell out of the luxury sedan, of course.
And while you might expect Parker from Vehicle Virgins to go down a different route, we're here to show you the guy sliding his dad's S550 - despite all the time spent behind the wheels of special edition supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce and the McLaren 675 Longtail, this is the topic of the YouTube channel's latest adventure.

To be more specific, Parker is joined by Eddie in his Audi S4 in what eventually turns into an all-wheel-drive snowy lap time battle. And while that might sound perfect in theory, there's one little aspect that risked ruining the fun (or boosting it, depending on where's you're standing) at times, namely the all-season tires used by the German sedans we're dealing with in this piece of footage.

Thankfully, no four-wheeled creature was harmed in the making of this video, even though we can talk about collateral damage, most of which has to to with Eddie's ego.

The two VVs were not alone in their quest to tame the Michigan weather - one of the cars that joined the two on the slippery skidpad was a Dodge Charger Hellcat, which was using Bridgestone Blizzak rubber, with the slushly playground allowing the blower part of the HEMI's soundtrack stand out like nothing else around. And if this setup sounds familiar, it might be because you've listened to this Blizzaked Hellcat playing the snow plow role in a (possibly failed) attempt to help the local community in such cold times.

The lesson to be learned here has something to do with the power of proper winter tires, but we'll let the video do its job for now and keep such motivational stuff for another time.
