being from so cal I would be scared to damn death driving my 54'buick in snow.
I bet you guys can drive in it with your eyes closed!

ps. yes that white background has a great effect on the likes of that merc beauty.

btw..this is as wintery as it gets over here w/ the kids abusing jezebel.

I don't even want to think about driving in the snow with my non-classic 06 civic, but unfortunately I got to.

over two feet on the ground with atleast six more inches coming this week. Body shops are going to be busy this winter/spring!

thats some crazy winter fun, dont snow tires make it a snap like ice climpers with crampons?

I had enough "Snow" fun this thanksgiving driving down from 5000ft to "Sea level" on a windy switchback, racing a snow storm down the the mountain. 30ft visibility with a white out of fog and snow flurries(everyone in the car was making me more freaked). If I had screwed up, the entire family would have gone over the guardrails. But.. that was with the '03 Dodge, not a vintage beast.

snow tires schmoe tires, I only have all season radials

I imagine driving in snowy mountain roads would be hellish. One thing about living in the most landlocked/flatest part of the country that I can be thankful for.

so you could find a nice abandoned mall parking lot covered in ice and have some wicked donut time AND not die. sweeet!

ooops... I'm sorry the modern terminology is
"drifting"

I think around here they called them "cookies" before the fast and furious culture came about. Never understood why "we" had different terminology for it. Probably the same reason we call soda "pop"?

Anyways, I haven't done that kind of stuff for a while. and it seems that most parking lots have temporary mountain ranges. Not cool to run into impacted snow with a small car that has colormatched rubbermaid bumpers. Whatever happened to real bumpers that protected your car?

they're on my 54 buick.. but it turns out your bumpers are safer. Ever see vintage
pictures of wrecked chevy and buick cars.. the crumple zone WAS the cabin!

you guys were a little slow on the trigger here, but thanks for the complements!
You have to get the Merc out once a month to blow out the rodents, spiders and the neighbors small dog.
