I miss my car!

GregW / Oregon · 12-26-2008, 11:51 PM

I know you guys in the East will say, what's the big deal. But here in Portland, we don't get long snow events too often. We've had 19" in the last couple weeks, and people here don't know how to deal with it! My M has been in the garage 2 weeks now. Maybe by Monday it will take to the road again. In the meantime, my ML with new 19" Pirelli Ice & Snows had got me through everything.

Same here. My car has been in the garage for the past 2 weeks and I am driving my wife's Golf with chains... Can't wait to hear that V8 again. Sadly, I may have to wait a bit longer 'cause the side roads are still a mess in Seattle.

GhostyM · 12-27-2008, 12:26 AM

My 335i has been hibernating as well!

My X3 got around fine with it's all seasons!

Krueger///M3 · 12-27-2008, 01:30 AM

Yeah, it has been crazy here. I haven't been able to drive anything other than the work vehicle lately. Good to see the ML out in the snow!

What kind of ML is it?

My Subaru kicks the snows ass! We have 11" on the ground in Maple Valley.

My M has been in the garage for the last month, here in Indy we have had mostly freezing rain and sleet. Thank God for my Jeep.

I feel your pain. I haven't been able to drive my car for 2 weeks and I'm in withdrawal. Luckily we have a 4wd SUV or else I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere. The most severe weather I can remember.

Me too! I have been out of the country for a couple weeks and this is what I have been driving -- Honda Odyssey

Dawg- that's just just not right

...remove that snow or we're gonna call the M3 abuse police

HotLap · 12-27-2008, 09:06 AM

OP - I feel your pain, we have been getting the tail end of your cold front here in SoCal - it's been unseasonably cold and rainy as well. Sure puts a dampener on "Fun with the M"....mine's been rain dirty for three weeks now - driving me nuts...every time I go to wash it - rain is predicted for the following day.
