Wish me luck..... Reply #4 – March 03, 2014, 03:07:22 PM I'm more scared of the road. I dropped it off. The side road at the collision place wasn't plowed.....That little 1/2" of snow made it slippery over there. Every stop necessitated a shift into neutral..... That and the idle was cranky as all get out.....These cars were great in the cold when stock. This one don't like anything below freezing. Everything I've done to this car has geared it towards running better in warmer weather. Bigger rad, tranny cooler,lower temp thermostat, fan, etc...Winter makes the Demon a grumpy banshee.

Wish me luck..... Reply #5 – March 03, 2014, 09:09:47 PM Been there. I hate leaving my car anywhere, especially a body shop. When I had my XR-7 painted I was worried, but it turned out great. Quote Selected
Wish me luck..... Reply #6 – March 03, 2014, 09:34:50 PM I was more fearful of having the car slide into another car while I was parking. It almost happened. They apparently never really plowed too well over there and with all the back-to-back-to-back snowstorms, there's just enough ice under that snow. I watched a 3 axle tow-truck go sideways on light throttle on the same stretch of road. Quote Selected

Scares the bejesus out of me so I don't drive it in the rain. I can only imagine how scary it would be in the snow. Probably like your Cougar, since we have similar engine/transmission combos.Good luck with the paint job. Hopefully they do it right this time. Quote Selected

He will remove it once home and the car is in the garage to admire the shine, then replace each time he takes her out..... :-) Quote Selected
