I once lived in a snow bound area and had a 1969 LTD with bald tires that emulated an M1A2 tank in the snow. On the other side I had a 1988 Thunderbird that I "believed" was the worst vehicle ever made for driving in snow.
Yet yea I was mistaken.... Never had man or God leached forth such an snow traveling abonimitation as the MKVIII.
My car has been stuck in my shoveled driveway while trying to reverse "down hill." Twice!!. Threw dirt, rocks, sand under that thing, .... got out (while in gear) to look at the rears spinning at an idling pace. Took hot water to move the thing.
Unbelievable,... I did a 360 on an 8 lane highway during rush hour and did no damage. To you small road drivers,... that's a near physical impossibility.
That was the end!!! Now I run two complete sets of tires. Street Michelins from about March to November, and then a full set of Blizzacs (sp?) From December to March.
Blizzacs are squirrely,. but they do harness the beast . Have to give them a thumbs up.
Save you lucky Southern Folk,... How are the rest of us dealing with it?
