Oh, it can definitely be done. Sometimes better. I had a buddy that had bought his own car back from the insurance company after they "totaled" it. He had actually totaled it, but anyway. Eventually it had the baldest tires you've ever seen. Well during one brutal snow storm he let 1/2 the air out of the tires and we blasted up this hill that had stuck SUVs on it. And it only had front wheel drive. So yeah, anything's possible. BTW, this car was a Toyota Corona that had been in a head-on collision. Somehow the engine and drivetrain were able to be repaired although it had a few problems: * Much of the paint had been ground off so he spray painted it flat black with flames. * The front seats had been stolen, but this guy was 6'5" so he could use throw pillows and rest against the back seats. * The gas tank and fuel pump were beyond repair so he bolted an old paint can to the hood and gravity fed fuel to the engine. * There was no heater so he used a Mr. Heater portable heater. And this car outperformed 4WDs in the winter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:186016 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
