kbreudi Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 So today i was on my was to school like usual, driving VERY slow becauce it was really icey and snowy AND my stupid catera is rear wheel drive. So im comming to this 90 degree sharp turn, i mean very sharp. So i slow down to literaly 3 MPH, turn the wheel and everything was ok untill just at the end of the turn my car stoped turning and went streight into the guard rail FTL! This is only my second winter with my license and i though i was good at driving in the snow, i geuss not I was very upset at first even though it could have been WAY worse, at least thats how my parents told me to think of it....worst part is, its gonna be hella hard getting a used bumber cause i can never find cadillac caters in and junk yards around here. I also need a new headlight, maybe some new HID's?? Another bad thing is that this will probably delay my RE MT build for a month or too... maybe i can fiber glass and bondo it up? Any ideas.....

USAMPFREAK Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The best way I ever found to slow down in snow and ice was to down shift and let off the gas. Only 1 time did i ever wreck my car in the snow and ice. and that was in my 1975 pro street mustang 2 . Heavily built mustangs should stay in the garage when the ground is white. Short wheel base and high torque throw in a little ice and you have an instand donut machine lol.
