    I've been driving my 60 Chevy or my 50 Merc everyday for years. (Rain, sleet or snow)
    Last week I bought this 1992 Caprice wagon lowered 4" Impala ss wheels. Custom Purple,blue flames on bottom.


    Happy Trails,

    They use salt by the ton around here and Im in a hilly area so I dont drive anything I care about in the winter. Its a choice between a 94 Taurus, 85 Dodge B250 van or a 89 Buick Electra wagon. Choice depends on what Im hauling.

    My wife loves her rwd 94 Volvo 940. 4 wheel discs, ABS, heated seats & mirrors, posi rear.

    I drive a 85 Jetta with 586,000 miles. I put at least 30,000+ every year and it's a great car with a noisy heater and a busted radio. Two years and still rolling along. Not bad for $600.

    Why, I drive my 50 Dodge 4x4. [​IMG] It replaced my 78 Dodge 4x4 with a plow. Unlike all you guys in the southern states, [​IMG] we still have not had any snow yet this year and only got snow a guy could plow a few times last year. Gene

    !993 Toyota pickup...not worth a damn in the snow (which we don't get too often) unless I put about 200 lbs of sand bags in the bed!

    Speaking of snow, this is what I woke up to this morining- 18" of snow on top of the 6" that fell a couple of days ago.

    Hey LOST ANGEL,

    I have two 2"X2'X4' pieces of blue stone in the bed. The 400 lbs from the stone slabs plus the studded snow tires have taken me thru four winters to date with the fifth just starting.

    F-1's are neat trucks.

    Hey 286! Glad to see you posting again.Hope all is well and have yourself a great holiday.
    This is my usual driver although I must confess I didn't take it out today.I barely got the 4WD Tracker out of the driveway(6-8" plus 2' drifts).Even got the plow stuck!This was taken at Denise's last year.
