[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 18475, member: 316"] Re: Cars in Snow I have a '98 Ford Ranger, rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission. After going to college out in Indiana for 4 years, I've learned how it reacts with/without weight in the back in snowy/icy weather. Many a fun driving experience. Once, I drove home for Christmas break; the storm had just ended in IN and I drove with it all the way home to NJ (about 700 miles). I probably should have pulled over a couple of times when I felt the car sway back and forth, but I didn't want to use my breaks to slow down that fast from the 75MPH I was doing.

They'll last a lot longer than sand bags and don't get ripped to shreds. I reuse them each year as necessary. [/QUOTE]
