The number of clowns in Canada who drive around after clearing the minimum amount of snow necessary to drive their car and see out their windsheild. Beyond lazy
post
That rear suspension is holding up pretty good imo
When I (Texan)lived briefly in the northeast, I loved cleaning all the snow off my car. It was so novel and so satisfying to watch it come off in layers. Especially using the ice scraper on the frozen bottom layer...
A few years after moving back to Texas, we had an unseasonably and record amount of snowfall. I'd kept my window brush/squeegee/scraper, so I ran around my apartment parking lot, asking everyone if they'd like the snow off their car. Some people would see me gleefully cleaning a car, and they'd get excited, saying that they wanted to try it. Enough people wanted to try, that I just left them the scraper and told them my apartment number. A few hours later, there was a knock at my door, and my scraper was outside and 95% of the cars were completely clean.
I guess the moral of the story is to fly in some Texans when the snow gets that bad? I dunno, I just wanted to share.
Bye!
Sounds like a Tom Sawyer move.
Yeah, I will admit that there is a strange satisfaction to brushing off snow.
Thick frost however? That's just torture.
Freezing rain. There's a special circle in hell for quarter inch thick freezing rain.
I recognise the irony, but the fires of hell don't burn as hot as my hatred of scraping freezing rain.
1/4 inch thick?!? One year we got it so bad my gfs Durango was fully frozen to the ground, wheel wells and everything, so thick I could break the ice connecting her running board to the ground. Thankfully it was the weekend and she didnt have to work and it kinda warmed up after that but it was a day before I could get her door open and another before it was safe to move from its spot. I tell ya, there were a lot more fun things I was planning that weekend other than spending the whole fucking time unfreezing an suv enough to move it.
That’s such a cute story. It reminds me of when I go to sweep the floor at work and curious kids ask to try using the broom. Hell yeah, little dude! Let’s turn this chore into something fun!
There's a rotting pumpkin on their doorstep and a brown Christmas tree in their living room.
It's all fun and games until you brake and the whole thing slides down and covers the front windshield and you can't see anything. Source: I was lazy about this once, but never again.
No self respecting Canadian is going to drive around with a road hazard on their roof. Unless they're from Brampton.
This car looks like it wants to invade Narn
Would probably make it melt a little then slide off
Edit: nvm it's on the roof I'm blind
Looks like they just pulled out of that snow bank behind the truck to take a picture because they were surprised it stayed in place.
Isn't that car in risk of overheating, with its radiator completely covered in snow?
People here do not know anything about cars or winter driving. This is just a large rear spoiler fin covered in a dusting of snow. Spoilers on cars are not just for show. My Subaru WRX has a spoiler and it adds aerodynamic down force for better traction. In winter weather a large spoiler like this will make driving feel like there isn't even ice on the road. Laugh now, but you won't be laughing when this guy zips by you at 120km/h while you are struggling on the ice.
You're right, I won't be laughing when this guy zips by me, shedding huge chunks of his shit directly onto my windshield on the road. If you want downforce, get an actual rear spoiler.
The second sentence addresses your suggestion.
I'm pretty sure the person you responded to was shitposting about the snow being a spoiler, including implying they'd be going by at 120 while other vehicles struggle on the ice
I'm certain the coil springs appreciate the weight. I'll laugh if the bed snaps off the cab.
