Two experiences come to mind.
Big winter in 92, and my 71 was my only source of transportation. One day I made it as far as the curb, and spun the tires for too long. A month later I spun a bearing and busted the oil pump. Coincidence?
I bought the 72 last year, which had bad brakes. I didn't realize how bad until it hit ice and wouldn't stop. It have been a bad day if not for the E-brake, because I was heading into a busy highway. Absolutely no brake on ice & snow. I inched home, carefully planned. Took 45 minutes to travel 3-4 miles. Don't do that.........
