    Don't floor your car with the steering at full lock. It only takes a few seconds to fry a power steering pump that way.

    Wish I knew that before I fried mine. First winter I got mine, that happened and I dealt with no power steering till spring. That was fun working downtown trying to park in a tight parking garage with no assist. Felt like I was driving a yacht. Fixed it for couple hundred bucks. Dealer quoted 1k+ repair ($750 part)

    Good to know, didn't think anyone would actually floor it in the snow. That's a little too risky for me when playing in the snow
