Why I hate Minneapolis

This was after just a few hours. thank god for the front tow hook. Needless to say, 285/35/20 tires dont do much for me, and the Nismo front acts like a snowplow its so low. the last couple of days Ive just had to leave it on the side of the road at the entrance to my neighborhood and walk the couple blocks home because its just too much snow to get back to my place.

Ive got a garage, I just cant get back to it because my neighborhood isnt plowed as well as the main roads. Im leaving town wednesday for 2 weeks, so Im going to have to figure out a way to get it back inside before I take off. Hopefully by the time I get back the snow will be cleared up.

^ I feel your pain. I drove down to Madison, WI yesterday and they have 1 foot of snow here. There is mountains of snow everywhere, most cars are stuck in their parking spaces on the side of the road because the snow plows tried to clean the roads around them. I'm driving luckyly driving an AWD car right now, however it has summer tires on it, so it has been quite interesting.
