1st good snow fall calls for some photos...
The car sat for 6 weeks and it didn't even crank one full turn before comming to life.

Add yours...

Wow,your car looks real good in the snow !
They used to drive these all year round in Europe before they became Summer pride and joys over here .
Too much salt on the roads here in Quebec ... my car would probably start to rust just at the sight of the road at the end of my driveway ... lol

Cheers !

The new LUMIX FZ 150. I had the new Cannon and Nikon to compare it to. The new chipset in the Lumix is incredible. The lighting today was really dark and over cast. You never know in that kind of lighting if anything is going to come out half way decent. I let the camera choose the correct setting. I was just trying to get some good pics before I went to work removing the snow from my drive way. The hi res pics are fantastic and became my new screen saver. I can email them to anyone that wants them

Not a torsion bar car, but last winter the 4S was used for ski duty. 10K+ miles worth. Car's been sitting around for months waiting to be put to use again, but not much sign of winter out here until the last couple of days.

I had a Nikon Coolpix P500, Sony HX-9V. The Lumix FZ150K does everything outstanding. Its the "if you only could have one camera to do it all" camera. I highly recommend it. Its HD Video is incredible.

Awesome pic. Now that is serious snow. I'd be driving my Powerwagon in that snow.

Beautiful shots. Thank you for sharing. I bet it is fun to use a car in extreme conditions that it was designed to handle, whether it's on track, off road, or foul weather. The 997 and the Cayenne are my winter sleds and this was a shot that I took this morning on my weekly commute over Snoqualmie pass at 8 AM.
