You know, its not like the pavement is covered in snow. Thats the first clue as to, "I don't need chains."

Even my old 65 Mustang 289 wouldn't need chains in that condition. It was running 250 hp with a 3.8:1 rearend.

My 72 Ford Gran Torino wouldn't even have a problem, and its the worst thing I can think of for driving in the snow. I could spin out just by iddling down the street in that car.

Sometimes I hate the fact that I grew up in Tahoe and learned to drive in the snow in a 78 Ranchero 500. The first time I ever drove was in the snow. I get more scared in fog, then in snow. In the last 6 years, I had to chain up only one time. Not bad, eh.
