those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #18 – December 07, 2007, 11:12:05 AM Just make sure you get them for all 4 wheels. The rears are ok but it will handle better if all 4 wheels have the snow tires on them. Quote Selected

Find a set of Turbines (or fav 15-inch wheel of choice) and they will be even cheaper. I regret sending a set of low mileage snow tires to the yard but nobody wanted them and I needed a roller.

those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #20 – December 07, 2007, 05:41:53 PM jus keep out of the boost! hard wire your waist gate open if you have to. mine is a pain in the rain at ten psi. I dont want to think about snow! (shudders) Quote Selected
those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #21 – December 07, 2007, 05:44:00 PM Its easy to stay out of boost, be light on the gas pedal.Seems like people have a harder time driving a car these days, and need assists. Quote Selected

those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #23 – December 07, 2007, 08:18:16 PM I guess to my other post I can add this. It takes you to put your brain in gear before you get in the car. Then the whole time you are driving the car you need to pray that no one will hit, bump, smack,or whatever to your precious TC. Don't forget to pray that you don't hit any black ice or anyone pulls out in front of you. Also Boost is your friend in the snow. Think about the Dougnuts you can cut while boosting 15psi.LOL Just use your brain and pray and you'll be OK. Hopefully the bird will come out fine as well. Quote Selected

Why? Because they can't drive for shiznit. Most people really don't know how to handle their car or what to do in an emergency situation. It's sad. I don't need stability control, traction control, or any other electronic that keeps ME from driving my car. I'm the cars master, not the other way around. Quote Selected
those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #25 – December 08, 2007, 11:28:26 AM I can drive a Tbird/Cougar in the snow and I did for many winters. The silver car survived, the 84 XR-7 did not....that is why I don't drive them in the winter....I hate killing them. Quote Selected

Believe me Chuck and I know about salt, living in the Midwest and all . Right now by me all the snow is melted off the streets but the streets are still white with salt.......... Quote Selected

But around here most people think because they aer in the 4X4 that they can go any where at any time. They really need to learn to drive all that extra makes the Bad driver feel comfortable. WTF? They need to teach the dumb asses how to drive then they can for go all that . They need good ole seat of the pants to brain connection and to use that info to tell them what they need to do. I'm with you on this one forget all the driving aids just learn to drive! Quote Selected

those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #29 – December 08, 2007, 10:23:21 PM i took her out for the first time today. there was no snow on the ground, but a little bit of ice on my neighborhood streets. she did just fine. i drove my wifes car the other day in the snow. it's an 06 pontiac g6 gt. the traction control on that thing is a joke. i'd rather not even have it there at all.here's what i had to take care of while she was warming up.and my truck is under there somewhere too.
