Nothing a decent set of winter tires can't cure...

Nice pic, I hope I'll have something like that one day

Nice Benz - have you ever thought of an Audi Quattro?

Sorry about that, I just had to do it

Either that or a Benz with "4-matic"?

It took me 1 1/2 hours to drive the normal 20 minute route into work today. 20MPH was as fast as I went. It was amusing watching Yahoo's in 4x4's flying into the median at 55 mph though!

People around here really need to spend a few winters in Chicago before they even think of complaining about a mere 6" of snow.

LOL, yea, Ive thought long and hard about an Audi today. The benz just isnt a good snow car, especially with it lowered. Its my girlfriends birth day and shes disappointed that Im not coming over but I really dont want to chance floding up one of my fenders to eat with her parents.

Let me guess...

In NC, you probably don't own snow tires?

You could probably get it in if you shoveled out 2 tracks in the driveway, put down a little rocksalt.

Be careful out there!

You know, if you need some help getting the benz out of the driveway, I know some guys I could send over to help you out. They did such a good job with the Storm

Why not install a winch in the garage? Just winch the cars up the driveway and in!

Lol.
Rockfan4, be nice! You can't do that to a Benz!
Even though it's not porsche, it IS still german!
better push it in with the truck, at least you get to keep the bumper.

I thought the benz's had traction control.

Zero10, traction control can't defy physics.

Fixn2xlr8,
I'm truly sorry for suggesting you yank the benz around like those guys did that Geo. I can't even get my daily driver or one of the 944's in the garage. Too many toys. Man, I need to move to a warmer climate. Or get a bigger garage. Took this tonight after a couple hours struggling with the snowblower.

Right now the garage is occupied by the 944 race car, an E30 BMW M3, and most of the spare parts for the race car. Everything else sits out in the snow.
