This is the most embarssed I have ever been. Alright....so I live in Indiana where there is a pretty good amount of snow..I know not compared to up north, but a pretty good piece comes through every once in a while. Well, I'm on my way to pick up my fiancee from school, and I have to go to the bathroom, so I stop at Mcdonalds. There is about 2 inches of snow in the parking lot (not a lot at all) and I had no prblems getting in, but on my way out, I had to stop and wait for traffic, right? So everything is finally clear and I hit the gas......spin city. So I spin there for a while then dejectedly get out to see how much I'm burried.....I'M NOT!!! I'm just sitting there on ice!!! No Grip!! Meanwhile, everyones honking at me cause I'm in the way and they just drive by me in their front-drive cars and give me the finger. Someone was finally nice enough to push me out of the way and I went out throught another intersection with no problems. The guy later said in a typical Indiana fashion...."Ain't that thing four wheel drive?" I kinda laughed and said, "Ahh...no....obviously." Some people are just REALLY smart.

 

haha, good story. About a month ago, I had to sit my wife in the drivers seat, turn off the TC and get her to spin the wheels so I could pull the car by the spoiler into the grooves that were already in the snow. It took me 15 minutes from getting in the car to getting to the end of my road (1/3 mile!!!)

 

Two words: Snow tires.

 

Can't even buy them here, no market as we only get bad snow once or twice a year, and the roads are usually very well salted

 

nice story man...aint that thing 4-wheel drive tho hahaha

 

I had "all weather" tires...I guess that means, "all weather except for when they don't work."

 

3 words:

GET WINTER CAR

 

Zoran,

You reckon your mussy will do to well in S&M in winter!!!!

 

good story

 

Heck no. But it did pretty good in Wisconsin this winter.

 

well...that is my winter car....I drive my '65 in the spring and summer and my '03 V6 whenever there is inclimate weather....or a long road trip..or when gas is really expensive.

 

Just get some cheap junk which should get you through winter.

 

cheap junk? no thanks. Any cheap junk wouldn't get around in the snow any beter then my '.03

 

Oh yeah, it could. My winter car is 1997 Dodge Intrepid, which I got back in 2000 for $11,000. Now its worth maybe, $2,000 - $2,500. So get something similar to that. Or some older Ford or Chevy pickup. They should get a job done.

I own Mustang and I know how hard it is to drive it on the snow. This winter my friend's 1996 Mazda 626 broke down so he was using my Intrepid whole winter and I had to drive my Mustang. Worst winter ever.

 

I had a 1993 Subaru Legacy. Granted it was ugly but it was AWD and got me through four winters for the low price of $1500. Great on gas too.
