My Mazda is the only car that this actually happens to too. I drug my right rear wheel for several miles on the snow a couple winters ago. Once I hit a patch of clean pavement: BAM! And then the car started tracking straight like it should.

^Interesting. I haven't had this problem with either of my Mazda's. And my old 3 had to sit outside all winter and the H-brake never froze up on me.

This is real common with cars that have rear drum brakes but can happen some time with disks. It is caused usually by a small amount of water getting in there.

It hasn't happened to me in CO- just in KS. The snow in KS seems to be wetter than it is out here. Lots more ice out there. I also pulled apart my rear calipers and lubed up the slider pins really well. And here in CO, my car really doesn't park out in the elements all that much. It goes from the garage at home to the garage at work.

I know the alarm i have is specifically designed with MT in mind. It basically does everything thru the cars computer. I have a clifford, but them, viper and python are all the same thing from Directed Electronics. Its pretty slick, but then again finding a shop to install it is something else.

YOu actually have what was still the old Clifford prior to DEI buy out.

They did offer two models with the man trans start.

Now the brand doing this currently is Compustar.. I am in the works of getting the line set up in my company.

THE SCHOOL HEALTH FORMS had been distributed to the students with an error---the word "Sex" had been spelled with an "o". One mother, filling out the form for her son, wrote in the blank next to "Sox": "Usually brown."Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the freedom to choose his attitude in any given set of circumstances.
