a DD??
because if there is any snow at all, i.e. a light dusting, you will not be able to turn, unless you throw a shit ton of weight in the front trunk to get some traction in the front. you will literally drive straight throw an intersection with the wheel cranked all the way to the side. not fun. :ohnoes:
buuuut for summer hells yea, keep the accord for the snow.

the motor has about 115k on it. The chassis has 147.
The motor came out of an 87 MR2. After 1987, toyota upgraded the block to a stronger 7 rib block as opposed the the 4 rib blocks that where in the 86 and earlier models.

Not true. With proper winter tires, MR2’s handle incredible in the snow. Narrow snows on the front, combined with mid-engine weight over the (snow tire-equipped) driving wheels, turn the MR2 into a great winter ride.
I’d consider it, but I’m done with old cars. Free bump, it sounds like a good deal.

:picard: and thats why @ \<10mph with the wheel cranked I slid through an intersection when it was a dusting of snow…
I know you’re Mr. MR2 but this actually happened to me. Albeit I was on all seasons and not winter tires, still seems to me that without weight over the front tires you are going to have traction issues.

There was a revision to the 4aga in 1987. Toyota implemented a more aggressive fuel map and a stronger 7 rib block as opposed to the previous 3 rib block.

+1. I did several winters in Buffalo while in college with a Fiero GT. Same MR setup, all with just all seasons.
