Ice storm pics (56k go away)
 
Went outside in the rain to take the pics. I got a little carried away haha. I feel sorry for my car. Think I just take off the pinstripe.

Sucks... I had a similar freeze over of my car last year. Took the same kind of pics too... haha. I could probably find them if anyone cares enough. :dunno :lol

It looks cool, you need to garage your shit. I forgot what ice storms are like. I live in Seattle now and they don't exist.

Out here in Syracuse we have the same thing. This morning, my brother spent half hour cleaning the snow and layer of ice off the car and then he finds out that there is a thick layer of ice on the inside of the windsheild. Stupid weathermen. They told us 2-5" overnight. We have more than a foot of snow.

Our snow just made the switch to freezing rain here in New Hampshire.

Fuck, this stuff if going to be tough to clean up later...

What do you guys do to drive in the snow with your bimmers? Chains and snow tires.

If I take off my DSC on my 540i and it is raining, I get so much oversteer. I can't imagine what it would be like in the snow.

I'm finally having snow tires put on my 323 Monday morning. I decided to not go with studded since we normally don't have icy conditions here.

I'll let you know how how they handle once I've had a chance to run them in a couple storms.

You might consider adding some weight to trunk too. If you go with sand or salt wrap it in garbage bags (couple times) then you have something if you get in tough situations. Those "free" white postal bins available at the post office makes good dividers (also good file seperators at home.):redspotda

thank god i put my old wheels on before that happened here

bmw4life 12-16-2005 05:19 PM

Ok so you thought that was bad look at this. It happened about an hour after I took the pics. Luckly there was no damage to my car. The thick layer of ice protected it. It took out my interent and I just got it back. :cry http://files.unitedbimmer.com/ub.c/b...e/DSC01040.JPG

craig 12-16-2005 05:38 PM
