So that NorEaster made its way up the east coast last night and decided to dump 18 inches of snow on my car [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] . It's all dug out now, but i spent over an hour doing so. unfortunately, i dont have a garage, so i dont have the option of keeping it in a nice, toasty climate-controlled environment like i would want to. anyway, i was just wondering if anyone else had pictures of similar instances. i know New York and up to New England got even more than here in Philadelphia, so i can only imagine how long they take to get their cars uncovered. -Dan

Wow. Nice Body kit [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] . I'm near the Rt 73 bridge we got about 14" but its hard to tell with all the drifts. I am also gonna do pics of. I had snow on sidewalk 1/2 up my fence. I gotta dig out mine now, luckily its under a carport. tomorrow i'll prolly do pics of my car in it. I got some nice ones of the house.

Know how you feel, about 3 miles south of Lake Ontario nestled quite nicely in the NY snow belt. No garage to speak of, huge driveway and lots of snow. Sad part about this whole this is..... its my daily driver!! I know I shouldnt subject it to those conditions but I have to drive to work to pay for it. Rinse salt off daily.
Got offered a Cutlass for $1500, I say its been quite a mild winter so far...
TIP: put petroleum jelly on door rubbers to stop the windows freezing the door shut.

Thanks for the tip Andy. I had to have the car dug out the same day because its my daily driver too, and i needed to drive to work yesterday. unfortunately, i had to sell my last car to be able to afford this one, so i dont have any choice.

There is only one good thing about driving a Mustang in the snow..... deserted parking lots!! Don't have to worry so much about how your rubber is holding up. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Shame that whilst driving in the snow you have to accelerate, change lanes, watch for deer, avoid the boulders the gritters bounce out, etc, etc. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img]
Thank god for traction control.
Oh and to all you SUV and Pick up drivers out there. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img]
WAIT TILL THE WEATHER IS BETTER BUDDY COS I'M TAKING YOU DOWN WHEN I SEE YOU. ITS CALLED 'TRACTION' AND I HAVE A HUGE LACK OF IT AT THE MOMENT. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smilies23.gif[/img] YOU HAVE THE WINTER AND YOU CAN KEEP IT, BUT COME THE SUMMER I'M GONNA LOOK MEAN, SOUND MEAN AND GO FAST SO YOU HAD BETTER LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
