No, you dig it out!


It's been sitting there all winter. I wonder if it will start on the first try.

Poor thing!

I loved the old 900's... I'd give it a good home.

So am I!

No idea who's car it is. I think it should be picked up by a bobcat, and put on a trailer and be dispensed off with the rest of the snow...

Mark, you can still save it.

Have you checked there's not someone hibernating on the back seat like that Swedish dude in his Jeep last year?!

A few days ago when the snow started melting I was actually expecting to see something like that on the back seat. But rest assured, the car is empty.

Happy days...! I'll pack my bag.

Has it been reported to the police so they can trace the owner?

That's one reason why I live in South Florida. As my father said - I'd rather sweat than shiver - and - I'd rather sweep sand than shovel snow.

That snow sure looks nice... we've just had over a week of 35+ C, sometimes barely dropping below 30 C at night
