And then you came to your senses and drifted that lump til the oil pressure dropped and it threw a rod.... Could be a falcon or commo either way it died

Ahh if only....

American variants are never tuned on winter tyres it seems, but in Europe it is illegal not to fit winter tyres after about Oct if the temp has dropped below 0 for a few days.

Doesn't bother us in Oz, you'd be lucky to see snow and ice at a ski field, let alone any public road. (NZ a different story though) - but it barely gets cold enough there.

I have drifted till I think the diff was glowing though.....

Haven't seen much snow since I moved to Florida. Back in Colorado it was better. I miss driving on the snow. Black ice is bad but the guy with the Subaru has no excuses IMO. I have one with over 200,000 mi on it and it has seen 50K of that in the snow. It's sort of like driving a video game, every one else is going slowly up the mountain pass and you can (although I didn't) weave through them at will. You do have to have respect for the downhill side as stopping is only as good as your tires will allow.
Raced in the snow once, too. The picture of the race car is at Woody Creek Raceway in Aspen, CO. It snowed pretty good up there one day while we were racing.

Snow's almost all gone today (thursday), just a little left in the shady areas.
