Hmm, how good is that undercoat spray stuff? Does it last the whole winter,or is it a once a month/once a week kinda thing?

I used it on my 79 chevy and it lasted like 6 years.but I also power washed the underside of the car like once or twice amonth to get the salt off

It's funny you say "don't drive when you see this!" I've had to drive to work a number of times in that. It can be hairy. I remember once even with two bags of sand in the trunk I think I spun my rear wheels the entire way to work! I remember going up this street that day with my speedometer reading about 30 and I was not even going as fast as the people walking! I didn't dare stop at lights or stop signs and went right by a cop. He never stopped me. I think he knew I'd be stuck if he stopped me.

when i had my 2000 auto, i had 400lbs of sand and salt bags in the trunk to weigh the back down. i still slid around all over the place. i had no control in snow deeper than 3 inches. i even got turning the street a block from where i lived! talk about embarassing! took me 1/2 hour of rocking back and forth to get out!

Studded tires arent really gonna cut it here in buffalo cause the snow depth is really inconsistent.

Example, the snow will be about 6" deep down my street, then i'll turn on a street thats been plowed recently, and it will only have 1" or 2", and ill get to school or work and there will be little to no snow. When I leave school or work, If it didnt snow, there will be no snow on the ground, just a salty, nasty colored slush (not deep though, just enough to make the roads wet).

And if what I heard is correct, its not a good idea to drive with studs on a road that doesnt have snow on it. Doesnt the blacktop tear out the studs or something?

I'm in central Alberta, 2 hours east of the Rockies, and we get some really good snow here at times as well as the occasional ice storm. I had to drive about 5 miles on pure ice once last winter - it was really hairy but I made it with no real problem. For the winter I have 2 rear Blizzaks and 2 bags of kitty litter. FWIW, my best advice is to just slow down and drive to the conditions you're in.

I don't drive anything at the moment, looking for a mustang right now but still no luck. I used to have a dodge ram though. I work at the Exxon in Pittsford, 58 Monroe Ave. If you know anyone selling one though let me know. Thanks.
