Default 8 inches and still snowing = photo-op

We're getting pounded. But you gotta make lemonade from lemons so I took it as a photo opportunity. First time my car has seen snow. Backed her up 25 feet, took a few shots then back in the warmth. Roads are salty but no problems in the driveway. It's not quite the same as taking her out on the roads but this is as good as it will get; somewhat of a garage queen I guess.

However, looks like she belongs in the snow.

If I had the C4 or C4S it would be making a run. Great shots and I as well love the last one

Looks like my car (but I'm not in Kansas anymore, Toto!). I grew up in the K.C. area and recall those winters!!

That crap is arriving here today--the car is in storage so no pics.

What's the build date? Maybe it had seen snow in Germany during its birth?

Nice of you to let it play in it for a while now that it's all grown up. Did it seem to want more?

Thanks for the pics!

Yep. We get all four seasons here. However this snow was the final straw for me. I'm finally going to break down tomorrow and buy a snow blower. After moving here from Houston 20 years ago, I said I'd never buy one, but I've tossed my last shovel full.

As far as driving the 4S in winter, sometimes I consider buying snow tires for it, but then I pass other drivers on the freeway facing the wrong direction and I say, let the the X3 handle the bad weather.
