Um, instead of spending $$$ on tires, sand bags, tire chains and a FWD differential for your Mustang.... ever thought about buying a WINTER beater? I have 2 cars, and while the "other" car isnt a beater, its much easier come winter. You can get a 1980's cavalier, taurus, etc. for $500. Then come springtime you sell the same car for $600 :-d
I agree that there is no way he did that under normal driving and wouldn't tell you.I would definitely get the car put on a rack and checked out for damage.If you hit something hard enough to pop your tires and go half way up a concrete barrier, it is very likely that you could have other problems.Definitely check alignment or the new tires will be screwed too.Did it not ride rough with 60 psi? There is a place here that thinks you have to put the amount that it says on the tire in it,when it is a lot more than the manual says.
Drive Escape??? I've not seen that button in my car...is that like an ejection seat or something??? Drive it like it was meant to be driven - switch off that damn traction control and go sideways! Honestly - I don't have that much trouble...except getting started. Even the slightest grade with enough snow or a slick enough surface can be a real PITA. A little weight might help there. Of course...it takes a little more effort and care than driving the Jeep Cherokee I used to have (before the ex- absconded with it). Actually, I do switch off the traction control...I hate that damn thing. I LIKE going sideways. Back when I drove mostly front wheel drives, I learned to take corners sideways in the snow with judicious use of the hand brake. Came in handy just the other day when the snow was heavy, I came into the lot a bit too fast, and the front end plowed. Give it a little rear brake to swing the back end around (without increasing my speed in the wrong direction further), and then goose the throttle to generate a little forward thrust in the right direction. Saved me from crunching the curb. ...Of course...slowing down would have, too. But that wouldn't have been as much fun. Everyone's gotta go with their own comfort level. But Mustangs CAN be driven in the snow, if you're determined enough. Driving in the snow is just another winter sport.
Yes, I just got the car back from the garage yesterday and there is nothing at all wrog with the car....not even a scratch! Amazongly it is not riding rough and the alignment is fine. Hes just lucky that I did not have my new rims on there!
I drove my car through the snow just fine, and that's with the stock tires (12500 miles + track use and other abuse) and 4.10's.
Yea old people suck, all drivin in the fast lane reeeaaally slow and *****. But hey I'd rather be going in the fast lane doing 25 in a 55 than dealing with snow..... Oh yea last time i checked we had lots of hot girls running around our beaches half necked.
