me and my friends decided it would be funny to cover our other friends car with snow. he came out 3 hours after we finished covering it and we told him the snow pile was there the whole time. he couldnt find his car so he almost called the police to report his car stolen

We had about 8 inches of snow a couple weeks ago. I don't have any pics of the Maxima in it because mine is garaged.

I will agree that they drive great in the snow. I have some studded snow tires and I have yet to have any problems. The only thing that could stop me is not enough clearance. The Maxima handles better in the snow than our QX4 does, although the Q has more clearance and a little better grip because of the 4wd.

Well fellas, I was up in NH this weekend, while it snowed here and came back to 32" in Boston.... I had to climb through a window to get into my house.... The unfortunate thing about the weekend was that I sprained my wrist while giving snowboarding a try, so.... the progress on the Gauge Clusters might be a little slower since I am not supposed to do much with it for a week or 2?? We'll see, maybe ill find some cheap labor to help me....

No pics of my snowed in car, but it is completely burried, I couldnt see it from the street or house....

I was driving tonite and RI is cheap plowing main roads are just a sheet of snow and ice. went to mass and right at the state line it goes to pavement. even side streets in MA are clear but got stuck in a 3" high rut cuz my car bottomed out on it and the tires I have on is 225 5016 and aggressive tread not for snow. oh well gotta drive an hr to a job site tomorrow and I bet its not gonna be plowed. its deep in the woods.

What snow blower? We use shovel power here, at least for this season. Once the old house is sold, we'll DEFINITELY be investing in a gas-powered snow blower. Thankfully, everyone else on the block already has one so one of them will usually come over and help out and we'll throw them a few bucks for their time.

Damn, forgot to take a pic of mine before I partially dug it out yesterday. It was completely surrounded on all sides and I was able to make a path for it to go out from the front while leaving most of the snow still surrounding it on the other sides. I'll try to take a pic when I get home tonight.

This is what happens when you're not home due to a trip to Vegas for the past week ... man, those 70 degree temps look soooo tempting again

Yea I too forgot to take a pic of my Max - it was almost, but not completely covered - (from the snowfall itself and a ****ing plow who plowed me in) Woulda been a good pic, but not quite as good as the guy whose car was COMPLETELY covered (sorry bout you scratchin your hood while diggin her out - OUCH!)

Anyway...snow fell AGAIN last night ontop of the 2+ feet we already had over the weekend. I think total accumulation was another 5inches (give or take) uuggghh so much for all the shoveling my bf did to get me out!! O well...just another winter day in good ol' New England!

Mine survived the snowfall (thank goodness...), but my g/f's car wasn't as lucky. I'll take some pics for all the good folks at the .orgy...

Oh, and that pic of your car @$$ deep in snow Mike, would be the perfect illustration why North Dakota is the binge drinking capitol of the US!!

I go to school in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I just found garage space for the Max, but I'll have to dig it out first. It's been sitting in my drivway getting plowed around for about a month and it's pretty much buried. I've been snowmobiling to class lately.
