So we got a bit of snow the last few days. At 10pm there was nothing on my 88GT. Was clear and clean, well not clean, but no snow none the less. Yes I am a bad man for driving a Yellow 88GT in the winter, but ya do what ya got to do and I hate the minivan. Lisa 86 V6  My 88GT  Lisa's 85SE Driver, Not so driver at the moment as she won't drive in the snow.  More of my 88GT all Snug in the Snow, the extenstion cord in the passanger window runs inside to a space heater. I hate getting into a cold car in the mornings. So I just plug in the cord from the garage about 30mins before I have to leave. Usually even defrosts the glass for me.   Real Pontiac Snowflake Wheels. These are my 88GT wheels with the summer tires that are put aside.       And finally My 88 all pulled out of the driveway. I actually have a video of me pulling it out of the driveway and out to its current position beside the house. We had pushed all the snow off around the car creating a small snow bank effect which I had to back over while I turned to get out into the ally. It made it kinda fun. I did not have any real issues getting Lisa aka FieroChick to work. Even got it out onto the highway and got up a nice clip to 120kph for a while before more paranoid traffic slowed me down.  ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

AND HERE IS THE VIDEO LOL, ok so its not a big deal. Its 2.7mb in size, WMV file. Hosted on my ISP's server so the speed will be very fast. Video is about 50 seconds long. Shows me back the car up, crank the wheels over, pull into the alley way, drive over the small drainage curb and drive it to beside the house where I stop. You can see the front airdame is actually pushing the snow as it is deeper than the rocker panels. The only times I really spun the tires is when I intentionally goosed it for fun. Otherwise the car did perfect. I basically made the video so that you can show it to people that claim a Fiero can't drive in the snow. Especially any snow deeper than an inch. Well here is the link. You should be able to stream it and watch it or save it and view it locally. http://www.members.shaw.ca/capt_fiero/movinginsnow.wmv - http://www.members.shaw.ca/capt_fiero/movinginsnow.wmv David ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

LOL, a few of us each year do get together and do a "snow video" however due to legal concerns we do not announce it on the forums and it is kept to a small group. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |
