Winter

[95BlueStallion]

Drove it yesterday. Roads are too cold, and it spins through every gear.

Hey, that just sounds like fun if you have a head on your shoulders.

It can be. I remember my 03GT used to spin the tires into 4th on a cold AM.

This morning it was -1 out. The roads are coated in salt and traction is limited. I think I spun my front tires through 3rd gear on the Taurus trying to merge onto the highway.

A week or two ago I got caught driving home from work while snow was falling! It was scary and fun at the same time. My 40 minute commute up I-95 turned in to 2 hours! It was in the forecast but I was too dumb to heed the warnings. Add to that, I love driving the car.

No way is my Mustang going out in the snow, I usually get it out of storage around mid to late March.

Winter is fun. I'm already over it and it's not even Jan yet. Usually we aren't this cold until late Jan early Feb.

so...it snowed more, and more salt has been laid down...should I just wait til it melts to get it in my garage, and not risk any salt splashing up?
thanks

 

[justin82]

don't mean to be making a mountain out of a mole hill....I just don't want rust, ...wish I wasn't so lazy about putting it in
thanks

Should be ok as long as you aren't driving it, but I would get it off the street as soon as possible.
When I was 18 I got my first muscle car (72 Chevelle) and had to drive it through one winter.
I can remember filling buckets of hot water from my moms sink and trying to was the salt off it
before the water froze.
The following spring I bought a $400 winter beater and kept the Chevelle at my sister and brother in-laws house, God rest their soles. Anyways those were the days...young, dumb and broke..lol

Yep, pretty fun going into 4th at ~90mph and getting wheelspin... even with drag radials... Was 41*.

So, it has warmed up some here, 50's in the am, and, I got some new sneakers... MT ET Street SS, and for my little 306, traction is no longer an issue.

 

[justin82]

me too...warm wednesday...50s, snow all melted...since its on the side of the street....drove it and got a car wash

I still DD mine, but thats the fun of living in the south. If we get that "white stuff" we shutdown the entire state. Doesn't mean that it doesn't get cold as just no salt to have to worry about.
