I drive this almost daily. One morning I drove it up to the mountains and took this photo, in the rain on a back road.

OK, I'll play.
This was taken a few years back when I got stuck in a unexpected snow storm, I was on my way to a car show in Sacramento when all of a sudden on Donner summit a storm hit.





But he does clean up real well.

The day I bought it. Driving from from Indianapolis to Atlanta got stranded in a snow/ice storm. I tried my hardest to drive as slow and steady as I could but it's spun out so many times I had to pull off for the night.

When you go on a trip and go to the Tail of the Dragon, make sure to wash your car first if you want any pictures. Last year I had driven about a thousand miles through rain and obviously a lot of bugs prior to this picture. I wish I had washed it because some of the pictures would have been really good.

This was AFTER I cleared off enough of the snow so I could see to drive it to work. There was a good 6" of snow over the entire thing, and about 1/8" of ice under that.
