My 69 B'cuda was most likely the worst, too light, I used to deliver seafood in that thing!  Then again I delivered in my 70 B'cuda as well when gas was 88cents!

I've got an old fashioned picture, one that's on paper, that shows my challenger covered in a 2 inch shell of ice.

Yep, only car i had from 74 to 81, honestly don't remember having snow tires for that car, did have studs on my 66/300, but the mention of ice brought back a not so fond memory, was out on a date the night of the "great" ice storm here in the mid 70's , took me 3 hours to get from mid queens out to brooklyn on the belt pky. Bout 1/2 way there rolling down the left lane, bout 15 mph I lost it, swear I touched nothing, was just rolling along, well we went around about 4 times, ended up on the grass(right side 3 lanes over) facing traffic, the entire parkway stopped & wouldn't move, so I gathered myself back up,chucked my shorts out the window :crazy: turned it around & continued to try & get my G/F home, all the lights started to follow me again, Oh yea, I hit NOTHING, guess they figgered if I could keep that car on the road they were safe?  :dunno:.
G/Fs dad wasn't too happy , 2 hours late for curfew!
trying to get back home, cones closing the parkway, I'm way off my turf, don't know the side streets so plowed thru the cones to find a perfectly salted parkway & NO ONE else on the road, 15 min cruise home road all to myself & no further incidents!  :bigshades: Rich.
