It handled great. Sat in the garage the whole time with no problems.

Exactly what I was worried about almost happened because I let you guys talking shit affect me. Won't happen again, you guys can go fuck yourselves. lol

WHOA WHOA WHOA!! You guys?? Go back and tell me where I talked shit about you not going there? Won't find it!!! Mainly cause I had just joined the forum then lol

the fiesta did great

I had to drive it yesterday and the day before. My Continentals did very well. My car is so dirty!!! Pains me to see it this dirty lol!

if it wasnt 150 miles round trip to work and back, i'd take the mustang more often than once a week when i have to.

otherwise, my outback laughed at the conditions but then again, i dont drive a dick hole and stayed away from other cars as much as i could.

I was out in it Fri/Sat/Sun... There was a lot of "I'm glad I know how to handle my car" sliding situations and actually got stuck on I-35 Friday night because the stupid car in front of me came to a complete stop. Couldn't get traction to start back up again and it took about 3 minutes.

Saturday I threw a ton of stuff in the trunk and didn't really have any issues. 2nd gear starts and going 25mph in 5th ftw. haha

I was really surprised at the speeds some people were trying to go... seriously unsafe.

Thursday was the last day I drove it till Wednesday, because on the way home Thursday traffic going over that new bridge from 114 to 170 came to a stop going up hill.. yep.. they all stopped. .. it was about 6:00 PM and all ice, between feathering the clutch and throttle and spinning the tires I slid up the bridge at about a 30 degree angle... got home and told the wife I'm taking her 4,800 flex.

My driveway faces South so it is all thawed out but it is still a winter wonder land on the other side of the street that does not get the direct sunlight. Trip looking.

No daily beater but I got some really cool work from home options and was already stocked up so I have not had to drive in this crap. Got to get some supplies Tomorrow but its a non issue now.

I got some pretty epic, unintentional drift action crossing PGBT Sunday. Other than that, I couldn't move my car from Thursday to Sunday afternoon.

PGBT was horrible from what I hear. I avoided it until Tuesday. Now it a sandstorm everywhere.

Figured I would break the news this way...

In all honesty, it did handle like shit in the ice though. LOL

Haha, just the mount that I forgot to take out in the stress of dealing with the ice.

I heard the owner already bought the car for his son, so I hope it is back out on the road soon. I felt bad trading it in, but I was getting sick of the sore legs and back every time I drove more than 30 or 40 minutes. I tried pedal adjustments, tinkering with the seats for hours, and just trying to "adjust", but it never was comfortable.

The wife is happy I am out of it anyways. She keeps thinking I'm pulling some Knight Rider shit every time I drive it or something. The less she is worried the less stressful it is for me too.

Something about the size of the VW GTI I had before. I almost went back to one, but wanted something a little faster so I looked at the Golf R a little, but couldn't justify the price tag at all compared to other options.

I know, it's ricer... but it is comfortable and fun to drive in traffic.
