sand bags


2 50 pound sand bags tied to the bonnet. That should do it.

I guess he was saying that adding weight in the back end won't make much difference as it would end up being in front of the rear wheels, thus the weight would be distributed to both the front end and the rear end.

Mostrear wheel drive cars (or trucks), it helps if you put weight behind or over the rear wheels for traction. On a Smart, you can't do that because the rear axle is about even with the rear hatch door.

Just a guess..... I like cheese too...

I agree completely.... I like cheese.

Adding weight to make our cars perform better in snow or in wind is counter productive. If you thought my post was confusing you should live with what goes on in my head for a few days lol.

WB Karl! Wow, I can relate to that. Sometimes I just tell all of those people to pipe down. But, hey, other times I enjoy the conversations.

I understood your original post. It kinda seemed you had a disagreement with someone though.
