    Live in Wisconsin/ Sheboygan County. Car was outside during the wholestorm in which a ton of snow was plopped on top. Cleaned her off yesterday and then the temps fell to negatives with windchill. Now all but my driversdoor are completely frozen. My trunk is also completely frozen. And yet my car still dominates the snow. <3 my GP GT

    We had the same weather here in Detroit. Slush/snow yesterday and it froze solid last night. Door was frozen shut on the Jeep this morning and realized my window was frozen solid too when i pulled up to the Tim Hortons drive thru this morning. I about busted my window crank off.

    Im ready for spring already...

    I spent an hour shoveling myself out of the parking lot in UW green bay and then another hour and a half driving back to sheboygan going 35 mph on the highway. Then another hour and a half snowblowing my driveway. Wish I had a heated garage so the ice would melt off my car; my wheels are way off balance and shakes like a mofo 50 mph+ Time to get out the hair dryer tonight lol

    my garage isnt heated, but the cars after driving them keep the garage considerably warmer than the outside. normally all the snow and ice pretty much melts off the car by morning.

    must be insulated? My garage is attached but doesn't hold heat worth a damn.

    pffft.. in my area, it rained until about 11 p.m. on saturday night and changed to 2" of snow...now its just cold as a well diggers ass.

    I am more concerned on why the hell almost all the roads I take to work are 90% covered in ice, and I could barely get out of my parking garage this a.m.

    I'm thinking I really should move somewhere they have palm trees.....
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!

    Na driving in the snow is freakin awesome. Although i learned a good lesson on over compensating when whipping the car. Didnt break anything (thank god) but i did plow into a small snowbank. Just rocked her back and forth and she got right out. Was on my way home from practice and was all alone with a friend in the car so i decided why not, turned traction off and started whipping it. Had a really nice whip/slide decided it was enough tryed to straighten her ALMOST had it and then i over compensated and slid into the snow bank. So i guess you could say im a smart/dumbass . Only hit it at like 10, checked the front and just a little snow in my fog light housing. Otherwise all in tact! But yea im wondering why our snowplows did such a ****ty job when the storm started. All the roads are complete ice.... feels like your in Alaska and have little caravans to get around the place lol.

    Fun stuff. My car is put away for the winter, I have a 4x4, so the snow is fun. The roads out here are more glacier then road. Don't the plow drivers know how to put the blade down?

    Don't feel to bad. I was playing in the snow Sunday night in my truck. Put the truck away after and went inside. Next morning I started the truck and tried to move. Nope, Brakes were frozen. I had to give her a lot of gas and clutch before they broke free.

    Basically in Soviet Russia (Wisconsin) roads plow you.....
    But i love driving in the snow with my car. Only thing i hate is starting her up and freezing my ass off scraping the snow off the car. But even better is our 05 Tahoe is having engine troubles because some snow got frozen in the engine or some crap. And our 05 Impala isnt doing so hot in the snow either. Pontiac rules, nuff said lol.
