You musta been a rich kid. I had 1958 Biscayne with whatever tires I could find. Its value doubled every time I filled the tank. I used to take pictures of it in front of the old Spruce lodge because no one believed it would make it that far. Ran it off the road several times but I learned a lot about vehicle dynamics.
People learned they could "go" in AWD but they forgot that when it comes to stopping every car has AWB (All Wheel Brakes)
Hah! Trying driving in the NC mountains when it's snowing. Usually the car that's down in the ditch is an SUV with out-of-state plates from a state farther south the NC.
MM you must be like me, older than dirt. I leaned to drive on early to mid 60s big American boats, rwd, biased ply tires, drum brakes w big V-8s. Lot of dynamics going on, along w swing weight. Could bury the speedo in the driveway on glare ice(120) and get up to 5mph. Only when parents weren't home though.
If you had an E36 in college I'm old enough to be your father. E36s were still in production the first time I retired.
Back in my Vette days I had a 71 Olds Cutlass with 4 wheel drum brakes as a winter rat. It was always an adventure when you first hit the brakes to see which wheel would grab first. YeeeeHa!
More spot on that your probably old enough to be my father, my 318ti was made the same year I was born and only cost me $2,500, so no I wouldn't say I was exactly a "rich college kid" lol. Even new that car went for $19,000 making it one of the most inexpensive BMW ever.
