Had to do a road trip through TN last week during the cold snap. this photo is the result of slushy snow, I had to stop a couple of times to clear the grill. Now I know why you northern guys put your SS up for the winter.

I love it. Yours is black with a grey grille, and mine is grey with a black grille. I parked mine in the blizzard, but now that we're back to pavement, she's back out.

foolmoon_design-

It looks like you bumped the grass behind the curb, & knocked a bit of the icy crap off..

You can see the lower lip impression, in the scraped back snow...

Ooops !!

What is the big deal that is a daily drive to work here.

Not all of us put em up. My SS is my winter beater. I bought it to drive and it does fine. Well at least till the snow goes over 6 inches and you start plow with the front air dam. I have had times the intercooler was packed in snow inside the grill.

With around 30" of snow in the last 2 weeks and more coming tonight I only wish I had as little snow as you! there have been several days my tires seldom were on pavment. I gues snow will not wear them out?

Oh that's nothing...try driving while it's freezing on your windshield and you need to keep stopping to scrape it off!

But that does look pretty cold!
