You need a car tarp. Well for your 8 that is.

I love the snow; absolutely beautiful, very peaceful to be outside when it's snowing (everything is dampened, sound wise), and I don't mind shoveling at all.
My dad, mom, and sis lived in up state NY for 2 years and my dad STILL misses the snow. We are Island/Southern Folk (lol) so all we know is 95-100 degree weather yet my dad loved the snow.

Hey, I got hit pretty hard too. But I actually drove into it and then waitied in a parking lot for my soon to be fiancee (shhhh...) and I got there at like 10:30 at night and waited until like one and she ended up catching a ride home with a coworker so I waited next to her car for nothing. But I then drove through the snow to get to her place and we had a great time. Long story short I didn't have my car sitting in about half of the storm because it was clean as a whistle when I finally parked. And I turned out like this. Nice to see I wasn't the only one who suffered. We can take turns rated for 25mph at 95mph without a problem but as soon as snow hits on stock tires I was sliding all over the road. Enjoy,

At least you don't have to shovel 2 feet of dead grass!

Just some info for you... (forgive me if you already know this...)
Make sure you get the snow off your 8 before it turns to ice...
Last year I let the snow thaw and refreeze.
When I cleaned off the snow/ice, it left scratches on the clear coat.
Thanks to my handy-dandy clay-bar I was able to polish out most of the scratches.

Great Pictures!

Can anyone else imagine how much fun it would be to shovel two feet of dead grass. That would be sweet. I've lawnmowed 2 feet of live grass and it was a miserable experience but shoveling deadgrass like above post said would turn into one hell of a grass fight. ...wait, what the hell am I talking about???

If you hate racking leaves, shoveling snow is 15 times worse. Jersey had exceptional ammounts of snow (more than those pics), ironicly our climate is so fucked up it melted 2 days later.

That couldnt be more true. Not an inch of snow for miles around me. Been that way since a couple days after the record breaking blizzard for our area.
