Default Some Snow Pictures

Since there's over a foot of snow outside and I have RWD...I'm pretty much going nowhere. Here are some snow pictures of the car.

It is 11:30 pm, saturday night 12/19/2009. I am expecting my car to look like that in the morning. At least it is a Sunday morning and not a work morning.

god and people say AZ is to hot. Thats a bit crazy when your car is buried . I will take the 4 months of 100+ degree temps over the snow any day.

I remember when I first saw snow when I moved from LA to Boston. It blew my mind ......then it just got painfully cold ( finger tips feel like they have smashed in a door)

you live in fairfax, eh. were those pictures taken off of jermantown rd across from lanier?

as for me, i left my gs300 awd sit pretty in my garage while i took the crv awd around to the gym, to the supermarket. was fun and had no problems while there were cars disabled left and right. i wonder how the gs would've driven in the snow. was afraid to try....

yea definitely...actually this is right off gallows next to the Inova Hospital.

I drove my car home last night when it first started snowing. I almost didn't make up one hill and when I was at a red light, I started sliding sideways. When the light turned green, I feathered the gas and went nowhere. I didn't think I was going to make it home, but she made it in one piece. Might have to get an RX now.

i live in NJ and the snow is crazy. The AWD gs is easy to drive in the snow. especially when i hit the dedicated "SNOW" button. i had lots of fun driving the GS yesterday in the snow. nice to put the AWD to work!!

Feel bad for your east coast people getting hit with that much snow.

My 3GS has not seen snow this winter. The Tahoe gets around pretty easily.
