You do not need to be a BMWCCA member to take part in their car control class. Its a bit more expensive if your not, but only by about $20. Class usually includes lunch, and mine was from 8am-5pm. Totally worth it.
Dont have to drive in the snow enough. Spend most of my time at the coast. But I will definitely have the right equipment next time I go some where snowy.Leave a comment:

Spun out in the snow today...
If anyone has been second guessing taking the BMW CCA Car Control Clinic (or other car control class), you should put away the $150 bucks and sign up for a class ASAP. I took the class this year to get my driving skills sharper and to hopefully get my self some track time soon. I didn't think I would ever need what I learned to save my life or the life of my passengers and car off the track.
I was driving back home from Leavenworth WA today in my '84 325e along with my brother, brother in law, and nephew, when I hit a real nice patch of slippery stuff at about 35-40mph. Spun the car right into the oncoming lane. Luckily there was no traffic coming our way. Steered into the spin and got the car back into our lane and into the shoulder. There was no thinking involved. Just a reflex from my driving school.
My brother in law was yelling like a little girl "OH BOY HERE WE GO." lol
Slapped the chains on the back wheels and made it home in one piece.
Now I am seriously thinking of getting a Subaru for my DD. Everyone around here drives one.
COOL STORY BRO!
But seriously. Take the class. You'll need it some day.
