    we gots snow

    stock ride height ftw







    this wasn't even the deepest I drove through. I was making my own path in other areas, my spoiler was serving as a plow with the snow almost as high as the foglights. My dad came home and started plowing the really deep areas before I could get more pictures.

      I like snow but hate the brutal cold, hasn't it been snowing in Michigan for most of the month? I have relatives there and they said they have had snow accumulation for over the whole month of Jan.

        Not in my area of west michigan (hold up your right hand, palm facing you; I live a little ways underneath your pinky). We've hardly gotten anything, which makes me feel good that I didn't buy winter tires. Right now we're just getting some real light fluffy stuff that isn't that bad to drive through.

              Haha, I just used my front air dam as a snowplow this weekend as well :D

              Now, just to spite the haters of the '87 air dam, I just have to use it as a:

                About twenty minutes north of Holland, and an hour west of the GR. There's another guy on the boards who's from Holland. I live in Grand Haven, Coast Guard City, USA.

                      Colorado. Since before Christmas, we have had snow at least on the grass, if not covering our unused cars and the house. It snows every 7-8 days! Crazy ass weather...

                        Some crappy Uniroyal all seasons. They are nearly brand new, though. I have a spare tire from my moms van, and about 6 jugs of windshield washer in my trunk for weight. The snow is very light and fluffy so it's not bad.

                          @ E30 Wagen, at least you have tires geared towards the weather. Since I've had my car I drive on summer tires the whole year round. Drive extra cafefull in icy/wet conditions during the winter like a grandpa round here.

                            I have 150 lbs of sand bags in my back of my vert. We haven't gotten a lot of snow, but when we do, it's been about as deep as that. Fuck'n sucks. I hate snow--I grew up in Florida and always wanted to see snow. Now that I've lived with snow for more than a decade, I'm done with it, and I never want to see it again.

                            Nice alpine you got there! You need to put the plate holder or bumper filler on there though--it messes up the look of your car without it.
