love the k cars, had 3 my last loved the snow and would drive out it covered completly. i watched a guy once parked next to take a half hour to get his lifted big red truck out, i didn't even clean off good old shady and she drove out of the pile through the plowed bank and off we went! sadly i totaled her on a pizza run.
The tranny doesn't know its on ice. If you hit dry land, it will fuck up the tranny, but if you are stuck , car still thinks its on a road doing 60-70 mph. Let off the gas if your going to get out.
Umm, I still don't understand how does a tranny does not know it's on ice? It doesn't have any computers to let you know unless you have traction control on. I drive a car, so If you're stuck, and you're spinning, whether on dry land or ice, your tranny is still engaged. Flooring it doesn't always get you unstuck. I had my fair share of this. All it does is ruins your tires and burning more gas
Remember to keep your foot in it, it starts to go--keep it floored, I've ruined a couple of rear ends in my car and lots of tires, but I always get it out--
It's funny i had a 91 sundance, one day we got like 8 or 9 inches of snow. My co-worker had a pick up and he was having a lot of trouble getting up this hill, nothing special just a small hill. He made like three attempts than gave up and went home. I just gunned it a little and had no problem making it up. Great little car. So I said to him the next day "hey get a K car" Always thought it was considered K
This car however uses the same plat form as the car. In fact every dodge compact car and minivan(chrysler minivas) up to the Pt cruiser has uses the k Plat form. Even the engines are similar. But yes the original k car was the dodge aries and reliant. I currently drve my 84 aries everyday. I luv my old kcar
over revving causes your tires to heat up. Just turns the snow under the tires to ice.

That's worse than a K car, that's a junior K junk car.

Good video!! although that isn't a K car. It's a Plymouth Sundance. A K car is a Dodge Aries or Plymouth Reliant.
