Just had to post this (sorry for the cell phone pic in the dark, though). Living in Dallas my whole life I've never seen anything like this:



8" of snow and it's still snowing!

Err, dumb snow n00b question here - should I maybe scrape the snow off the roof/hoods of the cars? Or does it matter?

 

hahaha. Global Warming in the Big D!

that's not enough to really hurt anything. Well, you might want to push it off of your moonroof. It's probably not that good for these old babies.

Please don't try to drive anywhere, though.

 

Looks like snow to me










j/k lol

 

WHAT IS THIS STUFF FALLING FROM THE SKY!!???//111one

 

Haha come on over to the rust belt and you will get used to it real quick!

 

bull****, it'll be fine. Just wait for the roads to get cleared, it'll be fine (biggest problem here, in OKC a couple of weeks ago, and x-mas time, waiting to be able to go somewhere...mumble...grumble...)
take a broom and sweep most of it off and leave a thin coat on there (so you don't scratch the paint, of course).

did you guys get ice, first? or did it go straight to snow? the ice was the biggest ***** about two weeks ago, for me. I left the light on, and killed the battery. had to chip the ice off just to get the hood open, and throw a charger on

 

We didn't get any ice first it just started straight up snowing huge snow flakes and it snowed ALL DAY. Look at it this morning. My neighbor's tree just about took out my Civic

 

Some branches from my neighbors tree fell across the hood of my poor little Civic but it looks like it didn't do any damage. I'll have to clear some more away to make sure

 

That's perfect snowball-snowman snow. it's all heavy and wet and sticks together real well. build a snowman on the trunklid and call it a day.

Enjoy being able to use the excuse that it's too dangerous to drive to work right now because of all the other idiots in Dallas!

 

Spot the maxima, i see 2 you VE ***** lol ... then i guess i am too

We usually get that level of snowfall (8"+) 2-3 times per winter up here with some little snow shower storms here and there in between

 

personally i'd clean the roof... when i was in MA last month it snowed overnight and when i hit the brakes allllll of the snow from the hood slid down and blocked my entire windshield. fortunately it was at a stopsign in a parking lot, and not while moving on the street.

 

There's another black VE 5 speed stashed at my brother's place I need to sell this black one then I'll bring my "new" one over.

I got the cars all cleaned off and the tree thankfully didn't damage either of them. I wasn't really worried about the Maxima but I just dumped $1300 into the Civic a year or so ago on a nice repaint so whew.

 

You repainted it that fugly gold color? shame on you. Those colors should have died with the 80s.

 

Bone stock restoration, yo! (well except for the black interior conversion, and wheels and MPFI swap and whatnot)

If it was the teal I would've done a color change, but I actually like the gold

 

Nice paint job on the civic!

 

I was thinking about buying a 2nd generation and painting it that color.

 

so the black one in the driveway under the snow must be flyry's that youve had for awhile..that is now stock i see

 

Yep, it's the one in my sig. All the goodies from it are going onto the blue VE (well most are already on it except the Stillen kit), and then my "new" black VE I'm just going to lower the front, and put my 6th gen 5 spoke wheels on it and call it a day.

 

Very nice! NC is getting dump on as we speak from the same storm.

 

stop tailgating and you wouldnt have to worry about it lol jk

 

tailgaiting.... the stop sign? there were no other cars around, i was just making a normal stop at a stop sign to go out for lunch. and considering that there was quite a bit of snow on the ground anyways it's not like i could have even stopped that hard w/o setting off the ABS... the heat from inside the car just happened to have melted the snow that was touching the roof JUST enough for it to slide around. if I'd floored it on clear pavement it probably would have fallen off the back instead. It was a 3.5L MKZ so it easily had more pickup than even a VE5.

 

Hahahha...Nice picture...lol

 

Then why are you selling that one on your drive way again? Too many VEs? No so such thing.

 

Tell that to my wife. One VE is too many for her.

 

Well, I graduated in December and have been looking for a "real" job since November and haven't found anything yet. My job as a graduate student assistant ended when I was no longer a student so I could really use the money as still-cant-find-a-job-yet insurance Plus, the one in the driveway is mechanically/maintenance wise the nicest, so hopefully I can get a bit more money out of it

 

I've always liked these civics... this one's in great shape! Ahh, the good old days of "optional body coloured bumpers"

 

that's NOTHING!!

spend a winter up here in new england dude

 

I wish I had some pics of how it looked when I bought it. It was a complete POS. As I started having to fix crap on it it basically ended up in me building a brand new car out of it




Well, but it's a massive amount for Dallas.. which is all I was saying..

 

I typically clean off my ENTIRE car. snow blowing off the hood gets onto the windshield. Snow from the roof gets on the rear window. snow from the trunk gets on the guy behind you. clean it all off and be safer

 

It looks like a columbian airline crashed.

 

If I'm not mistaken its a ticketable offense in NY to not clean the snow off of your car and be driving. Especially the roof
