Thought I'd share my winter driving experience this morning...
So today I had planned on changing the Fusion's oil (the DD), but I only have a one car garage at the apt. Thinking it wouldn't be an issue to put the Mustang out in the cold for a few minutes while I put the Fusion in the garage, I started to back the Stang out the door. AS SOON as the rear tires hit the 1/4" layer of snow in the parking lot it went COMPLETELY USELESS...
I don't ever drive the car in the snow, and it has summer tires (well worn BFG G-Force Sports) on it obviously, but I had no idea it would be that bad. I couldn't even limp it into a spot OR back into the garage, so the car stayed half-cocked in the middle of the lot where it finally slid to a stop. I mean the car wouldn't even BUDGE under its own power. I had people waiting on me to move so they could leave, haha.
20 minutes later, and with the help of my roommate I finally had it back into the garage. Needless to say, the Fusion will be getting its oi changed at Jiffy Lube in the winter from now on, haha.
