There's a lot of that going on here now. I like the look of the star covered in ice.

Ah come on guys, you're making me wanna cry...

seeing that poor, helpless hunk o' German engineering being battered by the harsh elements!

I think a dry garage (preferably, heated!) would be in order!

Well, at least for working on it!! It's gets mighty cold trying to work on that hunk of German steel when you've gotta remove a little tiny bolt in a tight place with no gloves!!!

But, I don't feel sorry for the car, where do you think Germany is, the tropics?

Besides, this is my beater body, my new body is sittin in a Body Shop yard gettin it's frame straightened. Then, next spring it gets filled and put on the road. Thanks jrgslg!!

yea, today stunk, my 300D looked just like that. And the ice on the winshield. it was horrible, i was at least 15 mins late to work cause i was chippin the ice of the windshield. on a postive note though, i found out today that i mostly fixed my starting problem, the 300 started first turn, although i have to still figure out while it stubles at idle for the first 15 secs after started. maybe since my primer pump is bad, its suckin in a lil air

We were supposed to get snow or ice, insted it just rained. Currantly its about 39ish outside. Cool pics though! I am waiting for my car to look like that, its always fun trying to get into a car with a bunch of ice on it.
