i need a daily driver

LOL…i’m gonna say probably…cause i unfortunately had to drive the M during winter…but with winter tires and wheels…it was fine

i bet you had you nice and fat “semi off road tires” on didn’t you

I drive the evo 365

oh and buy snow tires

Snow Tires on a 2wd > all seasons on a AWD

You don’t represent everyone though…there are many people that store the type of vehicles that just happen to be that same vehicle someone uses as a beater. Why does it matter if he choses to keep a vehicle clean???

:lmfao: @ SHO having a really nice interior. :biglol:

nah, decent all seasons on Quattro >>> snow tires on AWD. I’ve done both. Snow tires are good, but good tires on an AWD car will be better.

Go find me a car that has a seat that hugs you with the push of a button!!!:pimp:

My point wasn’t that the SHO has a high quality interior (it doesn’t…) but that the condition it was in was a “really nice interior”…especially for having 175k on it…

mids 90s vettes have seats and bolster at the touch of a button…but yea…i dont think its a bad interior

All comments on driving in the snow from someone who lives in Atlanta should be ignored. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you. As soon as you step on the clutch (such as when braking or maneuvering around a spun out car in the snow) the AWD car with all-seasons will have less traction than a 2WD with 4 snows.

You are right, I never lived in upstate new york. I never owned a FWD car with no snow tires during the winter. I never owned a FWD car with snow tires during the winter. I never owned a quattro car with no snow tires during the winter. I never owned a quattro car with snow tires during the winter. I have not drive thousands of miles in some of the worst snow storms seen in the past 6 years. I have very little foul weather driving experience.

Snow tires are not a substitute for proper driving technique, which is what most drivers lack.

I see flat seats. I see flat seats and fake leather.

When I said hug this is what I meant…and in a somewhat sarcastic manner…if you’ve never been in a SHO seat these squeeze your side and ‘hug’ you. Also, fwiw there are many other higher end vehicles that have fake leather…not necessarily a bad thing.

Do they grab girl’s chests too?

Who was Ford kidding with those things?

You can pick up a 92-99 bonneville SSE/SSEi with most to all the options for under 4K. Parts are fairly cheap, the interior is decent, especially with the 9 way power seats. 96-99 SSEi has the Series 2 supercharged motor which has plenty of power, and they handle well in the snow. I drove a 93 SSE for the first year of driving, and currently have a 93 SSEi.

Also, a buick regal GS, 97+ are good in the winter. Has that after the first bonneville and it loved the snow. Plus you can get heated seats. THe GS also had the Series 2 Supercharged motor.

If you want cheap to buy and fix, I got a 1998 Lumina LTZ that I used last winter. $2000 takes it this weekend. I added heated seats to it and they work decent. I have that posted somewhere on here.

i have a jaguar x-type…fuckin awesome in the winter… it will be under four grand for you…the catch…its leassed…so u have to take over the lease payments of 200 a month…let me know

Well then don’t post!

I agree with you that proper driving technique >*

i remember woody’s 3000gt had something similar to this as well

:cough:sarcasm:cough:

I drove my r/t in the snow. Mine had a lot more horse power then yours to and I did just fine. It takes some practice. Just get yourself some nice snow tires about 450/500 lbs of weight and you should be all good. You live in amherst, the roads get plowed regularly there. Also I’d suggest getting your truck undercoated.
