well, on poorly plowed streets the snow tends to accumulate a lil high in the middle of the lane/road from tires not being run over it.

Was it hard or soft snow.

a lil bit of both. some of it sounded loud enough for me to worry about it.

Chunks of ice that the plow might pull up would be something I would worry about. I've seen ice do some serious damage to the under carriage of a car.

I've seen people's exhaust canisters get ripped in half from ice here. Our winters are just as bad as on the east coast (we just get em a bit later than you guys HEHE) and the ice starts forming very soon after the initial 2 feet of snow. Be carefull since the worst part of it WILL be near the inside of the rims (where the canister is on the FD blah blah), so **** cuold happen.

Crap, Francisco, Crap

on a serious note, if you hit ice/snow with the center of the car, I would say obviously you risk ******* up the bumper, then there is the underbelly pan, after that there is the drivetrain, which should be able to handle some ice

that reminds me. how unprotected is the oil pan??



i dunno if its just me or do you also get a kick out of calling me francisco, not that i mind, i think its funny seeing how im not called that often...lol
