Cleaned the snow off the Monte

We're getting crazy weather here in western Maryland. Lot's of snow and freezing rain. Oh well....at least I had off work today :thumbsup: I wish I had room in the garage for the Monte...I hate cleaning the snow off of her. I absolutely hate driving her in this weather but she is my only car. Anyone else have to drive there Monte in the snow? Mine hates the snow...she even turned over a little slower than normal when I started her up lol. On another note I have a new backseat buddy ;) I will put some pics up of him.

I had to go to the store today - I cleaned the back window and by the time I cleaned the side windows and windshield the back was COVERED again.

Cleaned the driveway to boot (about 2 inches) and an hour later it's up to 3 inches again. Good news is at least now I got to try my second gear start in the Monte and it works flawless, barely any traction problems from a get go, even in the 4 inches I was driving in.

Now Mike, why are you driving the Monte in the snow when you got that nice shiny Kia to keep the Monte safe over winter???

When the snow starts flying, there is no doubt, it stinks. Wet roads and walk ways, not to mention the salt and the cold.

Getting the first "real" snow fall here now. Got a couple inches on the ground so far and it's still coming.

That's the exact same Taz "action figure" I got. :thumbsup: Men don't have "dolls". Men have "action figures". :rotfl:

Because the Monte Carlo's handling is better in the winter. Unfortunately the Monte Carlo is too big for the garage to fit nicely and still accommodate stuff in it. So since I've got to park it outside, and covering it isn't an option since it needs to be moved around, so lately I've just been driving it.

The Monte is my only vehicle. So unfortunately I have to drive it in the snow. And park in the snow too.

You got to do what is necessary Mike, it's a Monte Carlo it can take the pain... How are the heated leather seats working out for you?? Be safe bro.........

This applies to me also.

Here in PG County, we got heavy rain, snow, and sleet.
Went out today so I had to clean it off.
