Im a sinner

I have to drive my SVT all winter. With my wheels on. This thing sucks in the snow.


many do drive their SVT all year .... some of use just choose not to.

you must have some :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty tires if you think this car is bad in the snow. get some snow tires and you will change your mind.
 
I have never had to drive it in the winter. My last winter car is now a big project. I guess im just used to small 4 banger vw's in the winter.
 
all of my contours but my SVT were good in the snow, what was wrong with my SVT? Garbage tires.
 
In the six winters that I've driven the Sport, I've gotten stuck once. And that was on a two-foot tall snowbank in front of my apartment's garage last year when this area had record snowfalls. I haven't even considered getting snow tires; I just buy all-seasons that have decent snow ratings on tirerack. I only wish the Sport was an SVT so I'd have the convenience of an MTX.
 
I drive mine all year round, body kit and all. Funny thing is only the tinkmobile got stuck this winter, took a while to push out too.

I dont have snow tires for either car even.

If you have nick named your car The Tinkmobile, and don't have a vagina, I vote for immediate revocation of your man card...

no she mostly wears purple, black, white, blue, or light blue. HATES PINK. My wife and son nicknamed the car the tinkmobile cause it is full of every tinkerbell thing you can find. you know tinkmobile just like the bat mobile. :D

Hey she keeps letting me buy parts for mine so I will buy her any tinkerbell stuff she wants and let her call her car whatever she wants :D Heck so far this year I have spent 3000 on my car just buying parts between a quaife gaskets a tune engine paint some parts for my 3l if I get around to putting that in this summer strut bar billet gas cap samco hose kit a set of e0 wheels and a buncha other stuff. Heh she doesnt complain so yeah I let her have her way with her car. hehe I already have permission for an NPG turbo kit next year if I dont run into to much other stuff I need to put in

edit: see 2 contours a 98 GL/SVT and a 99 zetec Thats my 98 closest to the camera, the red one in the background is the tinkmobile. She wants it painted Steel Blue Metallic to match her tinkerbell purse though. I am not sure if I want to repaint that one though
