Don't hit any snowbanks!
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

I agree, but then again I've got to be careful with mine as there's not much of the subframe isn't rusted completely through.......

If it's one of the first snows...then maybe OK...if you're careful. :lol: your mommy....

I just remember a VW Golf or whatever I sold and the first thing they guy did was to run it into a snowbank and bend the front end. Around here...once you have some serious snow and it thaws once...the snowbanks are somewhere between snow and ice...not good on a car.

That's a lot of snow...I hate to see that.

Be careful...you CAN overheat a car if snow packs up in front of the radiator.

Crap, that is a lot of snow!! I can't wait to see your vid and show it to some of my friends. I try to explain to some of them just how amazing the tercel is, and they think "ya ya, whatever". If your car was plowing virgin tracks through that stuff, I think my point will be proven.

We had about 10" here in Victoria BC a couple weeks ago. It shut the city down for a couple days, because they are really not setup for it here. I had lots of fun making virgin tracks. I could swear it's nearly impossible to get the terc stuck in snow.

Hah!
Ever seen 3 feet deep snow? And I'm not talking in the drifts.... I'm talking EVERYWHERE. As in, cars buried. Can't get in.
I have. Colorado. Joy.
Hope it happens again this year. Its been a bit since a good snow. Well, last week was maybe 10 inches over 4 days, but thats not a lot...
