Nearly 2 weeks ago we had an ice storm, now we have this. Opened the front door and I was greeted with new body lines on my 2nd gen. Thought this pic might be good for laugh. Snow, Bah Humbug.

yes, i had this happen to me last winter!!!! i go out to find my 82 GSL slightly buried. then i open the garage door and the snow had forced it's avalanching self into my garage, packed itself around the old engine that i had just pulled a week earlier from my 88 10AE. i'm glad it didnt get to the new engine that was sitting behind it!! i hate the snow :(

Damn the wind must have been howling for the snow to cover your engine bay like that with the hood closed!
nice pic scott, much smoother than a stock FC, haha ;)

Damn, i didnt know you guys got snow like us! Funny thing is last night the temp got all the way up to 48 degrees melted the snow and we had thunderstorms! About 10:00am the temp dropped down to 27 WTF? Michigan, WTF?

jshiz 12-23-07 07:19 PM

i hate it too. it completely buried my car last year. if it wasn't parked in my driveway, it would of been plowed away...

AsianImage 12-23-07 07:22 PM

Daytime pic. This is a good lesson in aerodynamics. Car is facing south, wind came from the north and smoothed the body lines out for the best air flow. Use the WB as a snow plow, nice one Kevin, lol.

It was nice here today, it hit 50, but it was raining and crappy all day. We've only had one real snow storm of the season and it put 4-5" on the ground. My S5 made it thru like a champ without the aid of an LSD.

1983GSP 12-23-07 10:37 PM

yall keep mentioning this thing called "snow" its like 50 degrees here in south mississippi. i wish it would snow here just so i could go drifting in the walmart parking lot without messing up my tires. oh well i guess thats my lot in life.

mazdaverx713b 12-24-07 04:45 AM

be thankful you dont get snow. sure it looks nice but its more trouble than its worth!!

Vashner 12-24-07 04:49 AM

lol funny.

I have been watching the weather because I need to re-duct tape the back window of my FB. Sad but if I don't rain will get into the hatch area.

Sigh...

mazdaverx713b 12-24-07 05:10 AM

I can easily visit Florida on the hottest day in summer...try North Dakota in February. Bet you can't survive more than 15 minutes.

Snow or ice? We have had both fairly regularly. How long were you without power, trochoid?

Freezing rain sucks, scraping your windows 5 times in one day is no fun, especially when you were only at home and work on that day haha!

85 FB 12-24-07 07:44 PM

Freezing rain especially sucks when it gets into the door jambs and you have to go and boil up water to pour down the door to open it.

But, since I have all week off............bring on snow and ice!! :D
