You certainly know how to give me a challenge! This is the best I can do--with a 997 model Porsche.

Love it...am a little hesitant to take her out in the snow but might have to do that sooner than I think.

Yeah speaking of which...

I had my fun in the snow pretending I was Ken Block, parked the car on the driveway (knowing my wife and I had a Christmas party to go to), and that was that.

Left for said Christmas party and drove onto the freeway to massive shaking in the steering etc. Immediately thought a flat tire so I pulled over. Checked all fours and all fine and then it donned on me *Eureka*!!! The piled snow within the wheels has thrown off the balance of each wheel!

I grabbed my snowbrush and proceeded to clear out the melted snow on the inside of each wheel...

Ha! Ya, my F150 looks like that after playing in the snow...and yes, I get the wheel shake as well until I clear it.

Do they use a lot of chemical and salt on your main roads there? That's the one thing about snow driving here in Kansas City, especially driving spiritedly in the snow/slush, that $hit goes intravenous into every pour of every nook and cranny of the vehicle!
