    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Just a quick one: oho, I've just found I can register my car offshore. I have to check and tie all loose ends (like what about insurance) of course, but so far it looks a pretty promising way to give them regulation jokers one big nice :N

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    You are tellin' me. Can you imagine I have to ask the government for a permission to have a rifle, that a suppressor is plain forbidden, and can you imagine I am not allowed to shoot anywhere but at an explicitly government-approved range--not even on my own private land?!? Makes one sick :mad...

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Great idea! I actually did consider I could perhaps do something with those height sensors to allow me to bring the car higher at will, and for shame, I did not think of this easy solution! :) On the other hand, at the moment it looks I'll have to forget the LSC just and only due to those...

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    By the way... sifting through the information at thelincolnmarkviiclub, I've found there was a -- presumably -- limited slip differential for LSC at 1989, one "Traction-Lok Differential". Am I right, is is a limited-slip? How does it work? Any experience about how does it handle snow? I'm told...

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Yup. Anyroad, I've quoted the NHTSA word by word... I would not expect sales talk there ;) I think so :) Well... actually, I've bumped into a nice Town Car exactly ten years younger and am at the moment tempted somewhat, but still, there's just one Mark VII ;)

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Thanks! Well, pity. Traction control would come really handy here in winter :( (What the heck then they meant by "SNOW-TRACTION ASSIST ... PREVENT ... REAR WHEELS FROM SPINNING"? Well, seems they did not really know themselves :( ) Oh, apropos, I've checked thelincolnmarkviiclub.org and it's...

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Is it? Well I don't know of course, but it would seem to me ABS would prevent wheels from locking (i.e., stopping) when one brakes. On the other hand, 'course I could be overlooking something obvious, but seems to me the one way to prevent'em from spinning is to have a traction control thing...

    snow-traction? And more q's for a LSC...

    Hi all, I am about to buy me a nice '89 LSC (VIN's 1LNBM93E2KY659626, if it helps any), and among others I would like to know whether there's some kind of traction control there (living in a place where there's lotta snow in winter ;)). I've searched NHTSA, and amongst lotta others it says...

    Could perhaps someone run a carfax for me?

    I'm considering buying a nice Mark VII in Germany; the VIN's 1LNBM93E2KY659626. I'd be grateful if someone could check Carfax for it? Thanks lotta in advance, OC <ocs@ocs.cz>

    So, it's lincoln vs. cadillac indeed :)

    Thanks for welcome! Well, agreed, many newer cars would provide better mileage, but, well, I kind of don't like the Mk VIII look (whilst I happen to consider Mk VII quite nice). I guess the beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) And whilst the mileage is pretty important for me, it is even...

    So, it's lincoln vs. cadillac indeed :)

    Oh, re-reading my own message, I have one more important question: since, alas, in Central Europe a litre of gas tends to have roughly the price of a gallon in the U.S. :), let me please know which of the cars would have better mileage. Thanks!

    So, it's lincoln vs. cadillac indeed :)

    Hello all, may I perhaps ask you all for an advice? Though living in Central Europe, I've always preferred decent cars to the things normally used here -- so far, I've had a nice Plymouth Fury and Dodge Ramcharger (more here, if anybody's interested). Now I am about to buy a new car, and I...
