1989 Grand Marquis
This is the first year this car has been driven in winter, and it sucks. I've driven a 1977 Delta 88 and a 1970 Buick Lesabre, both with summer tires, in the snow and never had so much trouble as i do with the GM.
I just put on 4 winter tires and the car fishtails all over the place. And no, I'm not gunning it. Today, just trying to turn into my parking spot at work the car did a 360. I just gave a bit of gas to turn and the back went out instantly. I didn't give it any more gas cause usually that stops the spin, but it was just slippery enough that the rear just kept going.
I can handle it cause i've been driving 16 years in the snow. But I bought this car for my girlfriend, and it's her first year driving. Yesterday I had to go bring her my FWD Cadillac to her work because she couldn't handle the GM.
Are these cars light in the rear? It seems like I have 0 traction in the rear.
