    Since he has suffered some recent front end damage anyway, Norman could cannibalize his wagon to turn this car into the worlds most expensive chrome Fairmont WAGON!
    Not too sure how that car would handle the snow and ice around Winterpeg, though. :rofl2:
    Drifting into a snow drift?

    Where do you think drifting came from but driving on slippery icy roads?

    Back in the day(why do we say that) we would spend hrs sliding around the big parking lots around poles etc.

    I could put my 1980 New yorker any where i wanted (limited slip rear).

    I miss rear wheel drive!

    donuts, circle a pole and slide it next to another car and walk away.

    Actually the fwd is better in snow ....no fun, but better in getting you where you need to

    be ...with 4 snows.

    But for the fun factor give me rwd with limited slip.

    my grand caravan sport fwd is great with 4 snow tires.

    You really have to be violent with the steering wheel in a parking lot to slide the tail out.

    Give me rear wheel drive, road hugging weight, and 4 good snow tires, and I'll get anywhere the roads are actually open. I have lost track of the number of times I've had to push or pull front and four wheel drive vehicles out of trouble using my battle tanks. Limited slip makes for a LOT more fun, too. One other advantage to rear wheel drive is that the parking brake can easily become a very rudimentary traction control system when needed.

    Man, that thing is hideous. I like the idea'r of a pumped up Fairmont post sedan, but that is an abortion. Are these dudes the same hacks who ripped up a Lincoln Mark III?
