benz and get it all salty. My wife took the olds to work 30 minutes later and I had to drive the benz. The 90 124 was awful in the snow. It had new (all season) tires on it. It slid around and got stuck and was miserable to drive. I put the snow tires on it that day and it improved. But, given any amount of snow I would much rather drive the oldsmobile than a rear wheel drive benz.
So, was the 124 an ancient land yacht? No, it's a modern, lighter car. A few hundred pounds of sand in the trunk would have transformed it, no doubt. -- Jim
