I thought tailgaters were crazy to sit out in 32 degree weather before the Michigan-Michigan State game this past Saturday but the local Ford UAW had a car show across from the Livonia Ford Transmission plant Saturday as well.
Not being a huge football fan, I decided to take the GT up there since it's only 1 1/2 miles from my shop. Less than a mile, I went around the corner in second gear and gave it about half throttle. Was there ice on the roads I thought? NO there wasn't but it sure felt like it.
the rear end came around about half way and the engine was revving pretty good.
I will admit, I have never driven the car in cold weather and never dreamed the Bridgestones would break loose that easy. Geez! almost had to go home first for a fresh pair of undies! And I preach to everyone else about being careful!
