Default Salt bath for California Car

So my car has been in California for the previous 2 owners until I snapped her up to bring to Chicago. I didn't get a chance to really get her in the snow until after yesterday's blizzard. Please enjoy the pics. Considering the car has pilot sport summer tires, i was able to get to work without any major issue or delay. Overall pleased with the performance. I am also including some bonus igloo pictures me and my friends made during our "snow day"

Whose International pickup is that? Ridiculous truck (in a good way).

Good eye! most people don't even recognize what it is. very limited production beast. It's not mine but I do work with it for my employer. In this blizzard it makes a lot of sense, it's immensely planted in the snow

Yeah they didn't plow the subdivision until 3 in the evening on wednesday. Even the day after it was pretty sketchy, but my diesel wouldn't start in the cold (need to replace the weak battery) so I was forced to take the turbo. Not by choice but kinda fun!

I got to tool around in a GMC 5500 a bit this January. Similarly fun truck.

Glad to see you driving that Turbo in the snow - it's a heap of fun if you know what you're doing.
