Post some pictures of your car in this year's Winter.
Here is my '85 300D covered with about two feet of snow. I haven't driven it since Christmas day, which was when the snow started falling here in SW Washington and hasn't yet stopped or started to even melt.

Since I can't go anywhere with my '85 300D, I'm using our old and very dependable '77 GMC Sierra Grande 4X4 to go where I need. Knock on wood, I haven't yet been in a situation where I could not get out with this beast. It hasn't been stuck yet!

I know we're in the middle of summer.... but I just got this one back from the developers. It is in front of my house. Notice that the snow bank is much taller than the car (that's me on the snow bank).

We do not get a lot of snow here in eastern Tennessee- only about 10-15 inches per year- sometimes even less. Even when we do get snows, they very rarely stay on the ground for more than 2 days. Typically, they (snows) are totally melted within a few hours or a day. However, this past winter bought one very good snow. It started off as rain, then all of a sudden- snow flakes the size of golf balls.

Here is the snow just as it started on the back of my 90 Lexus and my fathers 88 Nissan..... more to follow......

None on my Mercedes - because I have not gotten another yet...

Not the car, but had to show "old glory" waving in the snow:
