Wife got a new car. The CJ is in storage for the winter. That means her Corolla is now my Corolla. The only bright spot is the Blizzaks and steelies on it that make each snowfall awesome. Driving in snow and ice with proper winter tires always makes me happy.

Here’s me freezing in the Jeep driving it to storage. Yes, I had to pull over and check for directions after realizing I had no clue where my friend’s barn was. Yes, I always keep a can of starter spray in the console. One day I’ll get things sorted properly.

Why not drive the jeep in the winter? No top? Too cold? I’ve never owned a jeep, but it seems like they would do well in the snow.

It does admirably in the snow, mud, sand, etc.

But I don’t have a top for it, the V-8 gets about -4mpgs, the heater doesn’t work, and it’s got some firing issues. Maybe if I get it all sorted out next season I’ll look into finding a hard top for winter of 2016/2017.

Oh I gotcha. Seeing as how pissed I am at how cold I am before my car warms up ~5 minutes into a drive, I can’t imagine driving to work every day with no heat at all! I’m not even going to start on what it would be like to go topless in the winter.

I’d call a can of starter spray in the console properly sorted.

Think of how many smiles you’ll generate!

Just this morning I saw a guy loving life driving a C4 Corvette through the middle of a snowstorm. He was cruising down the highway like it was no big deal when a bunch of overlifted 4x4s and SUVs were driving 25 mph.
