My baby is dead!

Skizza · Feb 14, 2008

Two words. Ice+Tree. :damnit: The strut tower smashed my cold air. My hip broke the center console. Everything in the front end is broken. It's trashed!!! (runs away crying)

Some people don't have a choice. Not to mention when it comes to ice, most cars are helpless. I saw a guy nearly hit a pole in front of me one snowy day and wondered why he turned towards the sidewalk. All the wonder went away when I got to the same part of the street, absolute sheet of ice. Even with my AWD car with Traction control I was sliding all over the place.

This is why I drive a 200$ crown vic in the winter. I'm a poor college kid, but that doesn't mean I'm going to subject my baby to these road conditions... Its too risky! And not to mention what the salt does to the sheet metal...

I used to drive my musang in the winter when that was all I had. There is no difference between and rwd and a 4wd once you get going. Doesn't matter how many wheels get power to them. It's braking thats the problem. Thats why 4wd SUV's get in more accidents than any other car. They are marketed as being safe but when you think about it no amount of engineering can over come those heavy weights and high center of gravity.

Sorry to hear about your car, glad to hear your ok.

I drove my 4 banger mustang in the winter...it was down right awefull in the snow/ice.

My 93 4cyl was hands down worse than my 89 5.0. The 5.0 had more weight, and trac loc, the 4cyl was a little lighter and had an open diff. That car touched snow and thinks got hairy.

Skizza · Feb 15, 2008

Yeah, I'm going to try to post some pics today. Got off work at 7 this morning.

+1 on open diffs in the winter, I had a beater '87LX 4 cyl car that couldn't get out of its own way, got stuck on the side of the street constantly and horrible gas mileage to boot. Best winter car i've ever had was a 88-91 civic. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain and I didn't care what happened to it. The most expensive piece is the engine which are easily found for $300-400 from jdm importers. GL with your rebuild, maybe try and think of it as a chance to improve on what you had!

I replaced headlights, taillights and corners as often as I put gas in it. I have to admit though, I really liked that little car. I wish I still had it to beat around town or as a commuter car in the summer.

I rode that thing like a hooker on dollar day and it never once left me stranded.

NIKwoaC · Feb 15, 2008

My crown vic has an open diff, but with a good set of tires it is absolutely unstoppable in the snow. I've comfortably cruised past front wheel drive compacts and pickup trucks that were struggling/ditched in snowstorms.

If you can come across an early 4.6 crown vic (retired interceptor or not), its a great, cheap, reliable DD for a Ford guy. And they laugh in the face of trees/ poles/ curbs/ other vehicles. Come on, its a tank with a ladder frame chassis and a reliable little V-8.

All cars suck on ice.
