Drove the Trans Am in the Snow Today..

[GhostDakota]

I sold my Jeep last Saturday and I am picking up my next Jeep on Friday. Of course it decided to snow during that short period. I have 2 Trans Ams. The '01 needs head gaskets. The '98 (shown below) has a BAD misfire. Only running on 6 cylinders (#5 and #7 injectors are not firing). Great. Pardon the cell phone photos - these were shot with my HTC Thunderbolt (8 Megapixel):

How did you get those wipers on. Did you use different arms? I have been searching for a way to use regular blades.

The 98-02's use regular J hooks unlike the 93-97's using reverse J hooks. You can convert to the later years' wiper arms.

definitely sucks driving these cars in the snow. i bought a set of blizzaks for mine and they make a world of difference but i still wouldnt trust it in real heavy stuff.

which is why i purchased el yeep grand cherokee

Haha, no air is being rammed :( Sad!

I can't wait to get my 5.9L Grand Cherokee - I just have to wait 'til Friday.. of course, it'll be in the 50's this weekend... 'cause I'll then have a Jeep again. It seems any time I don't have a Jeep, we get snow. Then, when I have a Jeep, we don't. But those 2 winters of blizzards, I did have a Jeep thankfully:

:rofl:

these past few winters have been hit or miss. last winter it only snowed twice and it was all melted by the end of the day. i remember it being on average 35-45 degrees. but the winter before that it seemed like we had a storm at least once a week.

Since my wife and i have 4wds, i sold my snowblower years ago..lol.

+1

The blizzaks were great for me too, but they didnt help ground clearance. I used to do some funky maneuvering to avoid the deep ruts.

After a couple close calls, I also got a grand cherokee. Now I look forward to snow 8-)
