Finally the temperatures falled below -20°C (-3°F) in my area and it snowed a lot. I took the opportunity to take some snaps. I hope you like them, too:

Great pictures! These look very good.

I also made a photo of my car in a winter landscape when we had snow, on Monday:

Hrrmphh, you can see, that you two guys don't have a long way to work every days, which you have to drive by car (o.k., it's even better than to use the railway or tram, which often are broken down at such weather).

I would like to have such a situation, too, just to go outside and use the car, if I want to use it.

I guess, Germaneon's car is the cleanest, you can actually can see on the Middle-European roads. All other are totally covered with icy dirt. Today I needed 10 liters of water an half a liter of ice-proof window-cleaner just to clean my Omega's windows.
On the silvester-day I had to spend 107 Euro for a new battery. The original 1999-one gave up at -7 degrees.

The coldest time was on Monday evening for some hours with -17 degrees. This is extreme, over here in the far, mountain-less German West.

This night we will have -11 degrees.

I'm very happy, that one famous, much loved feature of my quarter-million-Opel is working fine:

Tomorrow morning, at 4.55 it will sing again its song.

Regarding the clean CTS my secret is that I used the Neon for my commute. We had a lot of snow on the roads that made you feel like driving on sand. The Neon is FWD, smaller and lighter and it was easier to drive under these conditions. Meanwhile the main roads are clean or are covered with "hard" snow and today I drove with the CTS. Nonetheless I´ve never seen so often flashing "ASR"(AYC) on my Cadillac`s display before

You got it's stock wheels on again

My car is very dirty now, it was still clean and shiny on Monday before I leave my garage

Where do you wash your car Antoine? in a car wash?

No, in my parents' street, with a bucket and a special brush.
(and for the inside, I do that in my garage)

This picture was taken after the year's first snowfall a few months back (in November I think) The amount of snow seems tame compared to the amount we have on the ground now.

Were you tempted to do spins in the parking lot in the snow ?

Well I took the entrance a little faster just for the fun of sliding, but doing spins does not work so well with FWD, no?
The problem is also that except the entrance, whole parking is made of gravel.

Yes, for the winter time.
Due to the icy temperatures it´s currently impossible to wash the cars. All car wash are closed and even in a garage I wouldn´t recommend that.

A foot of snow where I live!! My Montero is buried!



I live in the basement of a luxury house. This is the one across the street!
