Big red:  
  
I would drive my car in the winter, cause I can wash it everyday. But I work in the falls, idiots pull into our employee only parking lot flying and hit the cars then add snow and black ice and I won’t have a car anymore.

Idk about that, my uncles who have lived in Germany for 15 years tell me most ppl there only drive their cars on weekends. Gas is so expensive they use other forms of transportation.

still have no idea how that happened, if it was a escort or a sunfire or some shit I would completely understand, but a cb7 accord?!? Those are the cockroaches of vehicles, they never die and are crazy reliable

The car had some cracked and shitty fog lights that looked like they got hit by something. That’s the area where the fire started.

Whoa! That’s some serious fire.

I’ll be driving the TT with Blizzaks, can’t justify spending the money on a second car when I can just wash the damn thing.

If a car comes with a built in ski pass between the seats, I am pretty certain it was designed for snow use. This thing is soooo good in the snow!
