oh my.

putting on my winter wheels tonight!

Kalidian · 12-27-2012, 06:56 PM

Oh jesus... good luck with that. We just got our first "storm" in toronto, my car is caked in about 2 inches and I thought THAT was a pain in the ass...

BmerMeUp · 12-27-2012, 06:57 PM

Woohoo! I say screw the shovel - just climb in through the back hatch, and let'er rip.

Nice car. I have the same one in blue over here in Barrie, ON

(Although I can still see mine in my driveway)

Kalidian · 12-27-2012, 07:12 PM

Lol I don't think the engine will be able to get any air in that to be able to turn over. Climb in the back and set it in neutral and have a buddy with a tow just pull it out.

woodpecka · 12-27-2012, 07:43 PM

No worry, I just clean up the front and driver side a bit, put it in D and had a lot of fun on the roads.

Wow! Looks like fun. How much snow did you get?

At least it doesn't look like a wet snow.

Around 50-60 cm (~20") of powder snow.

I want some snow over here, you can have our rain..

We got over half a foot here in Michigan. I am so glad I got the xi. Nothing beats being able to cruise easily through the snow.

Amini77 · 12-29-2012, 06:32 PM

I hate snow....

Toronto issuing a weather warning at -15C, Winnipeggers just shook their heads, zipped our coats a little more and went out into the -40C winter.
