Geeesammy Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Not to add insult to injury, but hopefully someone reads this and learns to just buy a $750-$1250 beater for the shit days lol. Wreck it into a ditch, walk away and buy another the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssFo Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Def get you some snows. I ran LM-60's on the 300 (285/20's) and had no issues in the snow. Well worth the $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 It'll never drive the same. It looks to just be body damage. Front suspension didn't get hit and from what I can tell under the hood nothing major got hit. Guess we'll see though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've driven some Eagle F1's in a Fbody in the snow and it wasn't fun and down right scary at times. Be safe out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Cup tires on icy roads with zero salt or anything, now that's a wild ride.

That'll rotate quick if you're not careful. Or if you drive a ff daily and your hand is on the parking brake the entire drive. tee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I DD'd my Mustang year round for almost 8 years before I start building a stable so I feel your pain. In the 90s the Traction control is almost a joke, never once put a set of snow tires on her and made it through with hardly a scratch. Definitely some moments where you are puckered up though. I've never turned one of your generation sideways, does it slide predictably or no? Mine once you can feel her break loose you can just kind of work with it...up to a point. Glad you are ok though!

As soon as it broke loose I knew exactly where it was going to go. Company came and towed the car away today. After going over it real closely in the day light the door got bent up pretty good as well. Said they'd call in the next 2 days to update me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not. Also what crackhead appraised it at $75,000? I'm guessing they walked into a high school classroom and said "We'll give $100 to the first person who can add up the total of all these receipts and call himself an appraiser!"

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thats why I have AWD and a set of snow tires for it. Was driving down the highway today like a BOSS. 80mph was no problem. Passing the slow people, wish they'd just stay off the road. this is ohio you need AWD or 4x4, otherwise stay in the house.
