Mustangs in snow, almost bit it
 

I realize this may be the most obvious thing in the world, but I almost bit it four times last night cause Mustangs don't handle AT ALL in snow. I had to drive to a very important interview at Hershey and I only have the Stang (crap). This whole area got about 8" of snow. I just want to tell you guys that fish tailing at 60 mph because some ******* trucker doesn't see you (Mustangs are invisible to trucks/suvs apparently) is quite possibly one of the scariest things you can do. I held on, but I almost pissed myself. The lack of respect some truckers have for smaller/coup cars is really starting to get on my nerves. Some truckers are great and curteous, but others just want to go, around or through you. Ugh. Interview went great though!!

Yeah I heard you guys got alotta snow in PA, my mother lives in Pittsburgh.

Stangs can get alilttle outta control in the rain ,snow is even worse :D

60 mph in a Mustang in the snow and blaming it on the truck drivers?

You better place the blame where it belongs, the loose nut behind the wheel.

We'll be reading about you someday.

Ah, well, that is a little misleading. That was not where the snow was, it was an extension of the story. I was going slower than everyone but a Taurus in front of me. The truck cut me off and I went on to the shoulder, where there was snow. But I appreciate your vote of confidence. I know you thought all the facts were presented, and that is my fault, but slam someone else. You'll be reading about me alright, but for other reasons. Will I be reading about you?

Maybe I didn't have all the facts, I went by what you said in the above post, if it were true, I stand by my statement. I can only respond to what I see.

Hopefully we will read about you sometime about something positive, and not in the obituaries.

Kell? Is that you???:confused:

Snow? What is this dangerous snow stuff you speak of? :confused:

60mph in the snow, damn its well over 80km/h no wonder you almost bit it a few times. i gotta drive my stang every winter and i wouldn't even bother taking it up to 60mph in the snow thats just asking to write it off.

I thought the exact same thing:confused:

Woaaa relax!!! I thought the exact same thing as he did. Driving 60mph in snow?? We just had a lot of snow and ice here a week ago and I got caught in it driving home, and I don't think I took the stang over 10/20 mph the entire way. Glad to hear you made it okay, and your interview went well!! :p

So would this be the appropriate place to brag that we are drag racing still in LA?

Deuce I'm starting to get sick and tired of your bullsh*t man.... If I wanted to hear how warm it was over there and not how cold it is here I would ask. lol I'm kiddin' with you bud. lol I wish I could even see my yellow grass right now. =( hehehe...

whew.. take it slow bro, down here in al, we might get an 1/2inch of snow or ice, but i tell you what.. i crawl when it does...(old incident wth a crown vic..sticky brakes..freezing weather.)

jeesh i thought the sheer sound of 400 horses was enough for some jack *** to be aware of your presence..:rolleyes:
remember:Loud Pipes Save Lives:D

oh, also props for all the stangers for drivin yer stang in adverse conditions.. you're all hardcore..

Call me crazy, but I miss the snow. There's nothing more troubling than playing golf on Christmas eve. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but that's all we can do. It screws up the people out here, they have no appreciation for the summer.

lol I know how Mustangs are in the snow. I would suggest you invest in some sand bags and throw them in the trunk!:) Also delflate your tires a couple psi.

they should make front wheel drive mustangs for the snow. lol.

One more comment like that and I'm gonna ***** slap you

:D

I'm sorry if it seemed like I got pissed. It just seems like people talk about racing on the street, and everyone is says, "nice kill". Not "that is too dangerous, I'll be reading about your untimely demise". You see where I'm coming from? I think that comments about reading about my death are uncalled for. Street racing is dangerous, drag racing is dangerous, but no one says they will read about them in the god damn obituaries, so why jump on me???

I like driving in snow. I learnt how to drive in the winter, and I love it. Yes I drive my mustang, but I get good snow tires for it. I can ussualy out drive those 2 ton SUVs with there 4 wheel drive. Nothing better than a 4 wheel drift at 80mph to get the blood flowing on those early drives to work!

Yep I know the feeling. We got a pretty good ice storm here last week. I was pulling out from the street my apartment is on onto the main road, which is slightly uphill. To make it short, traffic was backing up behind me and I wasn't at a stoplight!!! I just sat there and spun for a good 15-20 seconds waiting for my tires to melt through ice.

:D

Just a tad late to work that morning.
