Reply to "Winter Road Trips in a Pantera"

Heine,

It is actually a lot of fun to play in the snow with the Pantera when there isn't much traffic on the road. Nail the throttle, learn to control the car when it does weird things. We were in the middle of Vermont in a snow storm one year with the Pantera (we really don't go out hunting storms in the Pantera...the storm just happened to find us) and headed for a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream tour. We were headed south on Route 100 and started to head up an incline in the road which was covered in snow. We were only going about 20 to 25 mph and about half way up the hill the Pantera did the slowest 180 degree spin I have ever seen. It was as if God Himself reached down and grabbed the Pantera and slowly spun us around so that we were facing in the exact opposite direction we were headed. My wife and I immediately realized that this was the Pantera's way of saying it wanted no more of this white weather. We stopped in the next town and stayed the night. The photo below was taken on the road in Vermont a short distance after the Pantera's change of heart.
