My parents had one, and there's a killer hill to get up to on the way to their house. A 90-degree turn (stop) at the bottom of a steep hill, followed by a long sweeping turn at the top and up another hill. The bug always did about the best. They may have put sand in the rear too. However, its average score as a winter car is lowered, and considerably, by its pathetic excuse for a heater/defroster. I also believe the FWD reputation is largely myth, and I certainly don't like the way it handles. So the butt end of RWD gets a bit squirrely in the snow, so what? Back off the throttle a bit. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
