Unhappy Gotta love the winter

I don't know how many other places got snow last night, but I was wondering if any other FD's got snowed on. When I went out to start her I had to stay on the gas because she really wanted to stall out on me.

Ahh, she looks like she's wrapped up in a white blanky!! Nice pic, sorry about the hard starting though. Thank goodness we don't get much snow in southeast VA and the fact I've got a carport.....

you dont have a driveway at least? I have a cover on my car at all times.

And we got about 2 inches of snow, i started the car up this morning because i wont be able to for the next 2 days. I let it run a while to make it nice and warm.

I have a two car garage and a driveway but the other cars get top priority. Instead of having to play musical chairs on the driveway when I need to move something I just park her on the street. Its a pretty quiet area so ther aren't too many worries.

Mine got snowed on too. It was dirty enough that I didn't want to cover it yesterday.

Oh well, in about a week I can store it in the garage again.

Well you're lucky. Me being the lucky one with this car in this shithole of a town, whenever i need to use my car or put it back, i have to move 2 or even sometimes 3 cars so my car gets put closest to the house to prevent it from being stolen. Yes i know they could break into it and steal my radio or whatever but they wont take the car.

yep had tons of snow on top of my garage. Sucks not to have one. Fortunately mine has never had snow on it, below it once. Thank goodness. Snow is nice for x-mas and to play in, driving is not.

Yeah it's really hard to decide where to take your FD to get tuned. Drive 20 mins to Rotary Performance (Chris Ott & Ari Yallon) or 15 mins to Gotham Racing (Steve Kan) plus the 70 degree weather yesterday (12-3-5) sucks.
