Comparing a Crown Vic to an S2000 is like comparing the USS Enterprise to a roll of toilet paper. Both circle Uranus looking for Clingons. Other than that ...................................

Ingredient #1 for a drive about to go bad.
Ingredient #2 for a drive getting worse.
If it takes you that long to realize that something bad has happened, pull over, park, and STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR! This kind of reaction time should be restricted to the bumper cars ride at the fair grounds.
Ingredient #3 for a drive that's gone bad.
YA THINK??????
1 cm, huh? I highly doubt it. Even a brand new SO2 won't have 10mm of tread. Do you know how much 1cm is?
Ingredient #4 for a drive gone bad, but at least you can admit it and at least you seem to understand your limitations.
I hope you are kidding here. A Crown Vic bares no resemblance to an S2000. It weighs what? Borderline TANK? It's how long? Borderline Cruise Ship? What's it's weight distribution? Borderline Dolly Parton? Did it have some kind of limited slip diff? Was it a manual transmission? Comparing a Crown Vic to an S2000 is like comparing the USS Enterprise to a roll of toilet paper.

I rent the towncars at least once a month just to burn off the tires. More fun than the Subaru's and Caddys anyway.

Shameless bragging here. Speaking of crown vics (or in this case the Town car). Managed to do this -- open rear end and all...

Another case of LOFT.
