This is a purely hypothetical thread. You see I love my teener, and, I'd like to use it as a daily, cause I'm sure I can get 35-40 mpg from it. I live in northern Utah.... so It would see it all, heat, rain, AND snow, I'll be using a set of the new diamond shaped studded Hakka's for winter. Nokian
I get it, some of you think that this is a stupid thought, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) but I'm one of those sicko's that loves snow driving, so I'll deal with the ridicule. Have all the fun with me you can on this one, turn it loose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Oh, If you don't think it will work, why? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I used my 73 914-2.0 in the snow to the local SoCal mountains, Mammoth/June Lake, Tahoe Resorts, Park City & Brianhead Utah, Mt. Ashland OR & WA state resorts - granted no salt on our western roads, but mine always started in the cold, ran like a champ & handled excellent in the snow & ice + was warm inside despite the air heat complaints of some folks. What bad rust issues mine has (if you see the posts I've done) are due to Battery Acid/Hell Hole, warped early style engine lid drip tray & firewall sound/heat pad, & a leaking windshield washer bottle (finally figured that one out re: the LF floorpan @ strut brace)!
