Damn snow is coming, ALREADY!

Just venting my anger with this coming storm.
I got a dusting of snow a couple of days ago and my town salted the fu<king roads--coupled with this storm coming (expecting 6-10" here) my C63 may not see the road again until April!
I'm hoping for a drenching rain after all of this snow to wash away most of the salt and sand that will litter the roads.
Most likely, I will just keep the beast warm and clean inside the garage, but damn it I wasn't ready to put her away already

I always hear people complaining about snow. Why live somewhere that snows, if you hate it so much?

It's home, family is here, my business is here and short of SoCal, every other "non-snow" place has its negatives too--damn you SoCal folks
EDIT: One negative for SoCal, I couldn't afford the lifestyle, house/neighborhood and the cars I'm accustomed to

I feel ur pain.. The cold weather is here already, so the first snowfall is near. I still have to wash, seal & wax my car.. But it's too cold to do it.

I was going to woodcock hunting today after the morning storm prep, Icebears on the CL, and then it came down. LRP was a skating rink.

Question- do the NJ or Darien babes change their hair extensions like we change tires?

Stop being a pu55y and slap on some winters! The C63 is so much fun on snow and ice, such a waste to park the car in the winter.

I guess I should consider myself lucky, it was around 80°F in L.A.

Think of your car like a bear (it is a beast after all) it likes to hibernate during the winter months. lol
Hope the snow stops soon so you could enjoy your car.

Believe it or not I prefer cold weather over hot and sunny.

+1... I ordered my snows before the car even arrives!! This isn't a Ferrari or Lambo guys... drive this sucker all year and enjoy it!!! I did with my M3s and it was also way more fun than driving anything else.

My snows went on last week. Had to send 2 of my 19's for refinish so it made sense to get them on a little early. Lucky too....its -1c here this morning. Its coming soon!!

Yeah I guess I'm a pusssy, thanks guys
I've got two other 4 wheel/all wheel drive vehicles for winter driving, my AMG IS my "f-car/lambo"
I know how much fun rear wheel cars are in the snow and I got that out of my system in my 20s
I got over a foot of snow and have had no power for almost 24 hrs--lucky I have a generator and plenty of gas
I think its official, the beast will sleep early this year

I hear ya. Its a catch-22. The car loves the cold but with the cold comes the snow.

With the cold comes uncorrected RWHP. Otherwise known as real HP. For those of you that like drag racing, this will melt off and you will have some good days to get some low elapsed times if you can get some soft rubber to stick on cooler pavement.

Ironic. In Finland we have 10° C and sun and more coming. Maybe you will get all the snow this year so that we may be spared!
