Just moved to Canada, bought this car and had it on the road for maybe a week when a deer jumped in front of me. Hit the poor animal going around 100km/h. Killed it instantly.
I bought a new fender and new headlights and fixed it back up. drive that thing a few years before upgrading to a Lincoln Town Car

I know the Lincoln is RWD, is the T-bird RWD also?

I would think someone living in Canada would prefer FWD, AWD, or 4WD.

I have fwd, rwd and awd. rwd for fun, awd for getting places fast and fun, fwd for gas saving.

RWD is pretty fun, but I hate it in the snow and rain when it hasn't rained in a while.

My favorite is full time FWD, part time 4WD like the old Subaru's. You can get through most stuff in FWD but you also have 4WD if you need it. AWD is a good compromise but not as good as 4WD.

4WD-low kicks serious ass.

Oh right, my answers were all considering snow. RWD is pretty fun in the snow, but slow to get going and hard to park in deep snow. I don't like being the slowest driver off the line, so I don't use it to commute. Just fun.

Both are rear wheel drive.
I have found if easier to drive in slippery conditions with rear wheel drive vs front wheel drive. really just a personal preference. 4 wheel drive is best.

I guess RWD on a car is better than on an empty pickup. I had to drive home at night in snow after babysitting in a small pickup with bald tires when I was a teenager, worst driving experience ever.

Your T-bird handled that deer pretty well. We hit one with an 80's Cadillac once and all we had to do was pick the hair out of the cracks, not as fast as 100km/h though. LTC's are pretty tough too but the hardware was shit. Interior fell apart and powered accessories stopped working.
