Bfan, that looks like a blast. Karts are great fun. As for me, I honestly don't think my boxster has ever seen negative temperatures in it's life before.

I've got your winter right here, buddy :-)

Before


After


I'm sort of manic about clearing my parking spots... Everyone should keep a camp shovel & bin of snow melt in their frunk :-)

OMG, you didnt use a broom or worse to get the snow off the car did you?.....scratches...

You'd have to use a leaf blower to get the snow off the car I think.

A Broom? Nope, the only thing handy was the snow shovel.

I'll be driving Baby all week as it's going to be 7- 10 C and no rain! Then she's going into storage for a few months.
