the sun was shining at one point, cold or not i took the beast out from under the cover, what a difference a set of O2 sensors can make! only 3.5 months now until the track opens


everyone have a great holiday break! i hope you to have time off as i am fortunate enuff to be off until the 2nd! oh and pray for sun so i can take it out again sometime this week

 

LMAO I drive mine everyday

Happy Holidays Taner I hope you get to drive it again before the tracks open

 

Tom your a brave man.

I dont have the courage to drive an F-body in the winter.

I have this recurring nightmare involving My Z, A tree, and me.


Now I did start mine up the other day, and now Im wishing I hadn't. I wanna drive it so bad. Damn winter. Damn snow.

 

Not Brave Just Crazy!

I used to get beaters for the winter but I love driving my car too much.
Now I just mount the 225/60/16 snowies and tobogganing I go

 

I'm bringing mine out top down next time it gets over 40 I was very tempted the other day but I had junk to do all day

Good to see it's running mean taner!

 

thanks guys, it does feel good even though i know it needs a tune. top down, now that is what i'm talkin' 'bout!!!!

i used to drive my IROC in the snow, oh well. but that was before i got this car, and the 80 was used as a daily driver for about 6 years prior to a life of sun and shine !

 

Holy cow Tom! Do you have a death wish?!?

Mine is sleeping in the garage... she looks so sweet and innocent when she's asleep

 

pffft.

I drove my car thru every winter cept this year and last year she was in the shop during the winter.

 

No death wish here I have always driven a V8 Rear Wheel Drive,even my beaters were RWD.

I think you have more control when your steering and braking are contolled by the fronts and power is sent to the rears,asking your tires to do three things at once seems scary to me



Besides the F Body is a great handling car,you just have to hope they plow the roads

 

dave,

c u tomorrow

i don't miss those days! the truck does a fine job now!

 

eh. im still on 275/40/17's for the winter i

 

I didn't know they made snow tires that size LOL

Now thats CRAZY

 

I've driven both RWD and FWD Cars/Vans in the winter now and I have to say that either one can be fine as long as your careful, and take your time.

The only true difference is getting started in a RWD vehicle in the snow.

Without TC or chains it does take longer to get going than in a FWD where the weight of the motor and tranny is over the half shafts and tires.

Tires really do make the difference though. Good snow tires should get you out of anything short of Snow Storm armegeddon.

 

Well I didn't take the whole car out. Just a few boxes of stock parts, carried them out to the curb
BTW anyone interested in a stock 3rd gen K-member before it goes in the garbage? I still have alot of "scrap" metal I've removed from the car if anyone is interested. Also have a T-5 if anyone needs one, assembly required

If my caris on wheels by spring, I'll be happy

Joe

 

i have no beater. on saturday i was on my way to work at about 6:30 in the morning and i came off 94 at gratiot and hit a patch of ice and went into a flat spin right up gratiot i was going about 50 when i went over the ice and i slid up gratiot spinning for about 1/8 mile. i was just hoping i wouldnt hit anything, as the car started slowing down my left rear bumped the curb to stop the car, i was like thank you God...man i gotta slow my azz down i keep forgetting its winter!
