Where did you get a picture of my dad’s car. He and mom went skiing all the time with the 356, in Quebec and Vermont.

The two dumbest drivers on this snowy road video are pickup truck drivers. Zero surprise.

Drive really fricken slow. I know this is not a jalopnik friendly answer but it works. When your car starts to slide at higher speeds you are not going to save it, you are not Juha Kankkunen. Except uphill, generally go uphill as fast as possible.

Faraday is acting kind of cagey.

Frequency Modulation or Amplitude Modulation ?

The driver flooring it (burying it ?) didn’t grow up driving in the snow.

Rear body stiffness. Really.

90% of the time I can get stuff in with the fold down seats. 3 skiers with skis, one road bike, 1 xmas tree ect. Why all cars don’t have split folding seats is beyond me. BUT, using a rack once in a while makes a car very practical even though they kill mpg and are noisy. And the first time a youngster told me about…

FWD speeded up the death of manual racks.

A manual rack is built differently. A power rack is not a manual rack with a booster slapped on it. Probably has a higher ratio. Wide tires are a bitch too.

Same nonsense as the 80's. “More power, same fuel economy !” “same power as a big engine, better fuel economy !”............Turbo sunglasses, turbo aftershave, turbo coffee maker !

Thanks for the info, you know waaaay more about engines than I do. BTW why don’t these high zoot engines come standard with an oil pan heater like some cars have in colder climates. Starting the car with some hot/warm oil must be better. 25 mins and 25 cents of electricity would go a long way. I recall how dad…

Hmm, not too impressive but a flat landing. When ski jumping a super steep landing is preferable. Smooths things out a lot.

Well, according to the synthetic oil companies and anecdotal evidence, synthetic oil makes everything last with virtually no wear. “We tore apart the engine after 200k and we could not see ANY wear !”

This law of California drove me insane when I lived there. People are so brainwashed on awd there.

675 hp sedan ? So Group B cars are available at the showroom.

Brown. Manual. Diesel. Steel Wheels. Rwd.

Dear pedestrians if there is a clearly marked walking path and a clearly marked bike path GET THE FUCK OFF THE BIKE PATH ! If it is a shared path DON’T WALK FOUR ABREAST AND WITH THE DOG LEASH STRETCHED ACROSS THE PATH AND YOUR SMALL CHILDREN RUNNING ALL OVER !
