    took me 7 hours to get to the supermarket to get food for my daughter. First spent 4rhs digging car out and shovelling the driveway. Then call buddy with plow truck to come and drive in front of me all the way to the supermarket.

    Truck only has one seat. Where passenger seat typically is a VERY LARGE dog that doesn't like people. Besides, I needed the car to be free incase anything happened and I needed to get the family outof the house. We have a 3yo.

    yeah..........wow...........snow
    try driving on it, even with the winter snow tyres, road salt and split, it doesnt help too much.
    Once a Mercedes is up to cruising speed it lopes along easily and is happy sitting on 180+ km/h all day. Please check the speed limits in your area before attempting this…

    The subaru starts first pop everytime.
    So does the Saturn
    So does my other vehicle which isn't ready to be unleashed yet onto the icy roads.

    The only time I have trouble starting is when it's around -30 to -40. The coolant is frozen the oil is a thick goo and the battery is frozen.

    Once you get the hang of driving in it it ain't so bad. Just remember...don't attempt going UP hills and don't try and stop when you are going down. Because you simply won't. On both counts LOL

    No, I shovel my entire driveway once and then I can literally BUST the car through any snow after that. Although I may also BUST my front grille or headlights.

    I know, it's a shame because we have an abudance of water here. 2ft of snow is about 4" of rain fall.

    Lucky son of a....

    We're facing the threat (if no significant rain in six weeks) of all the fruit and veg crops failing in the main growing regions

    well, actually, we are kind of in the same situation due to everything being destroyed by the arctic freeze we just went through.

    All of our produce is transported via truck from Mexico.

    yep, I reckon we'll be in that boat soon. Although, I still don't know if I'm buying into the human induced global warming debate. For sure the planet is warming up. Heck, though, it's been cooling down and warming up for millions of years...

    I buy into the argument a little bit. I certainly don't believe we are to blame for it but on that same hand, we sure as hell ain't helping the situation!
