Young Ed Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'd be ashamed to post a picture of my poor 94 dakota with the rusted out fenders and rockers. The front fenders are practically non-existant at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilJohnson Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 My winter beast: I did manage to get it stuck in the middle of the road this winter after a particularly wicked blizzard. Had to fire up the 51 Chevy to pull me out. The motor had been making weird noises for quite some time. Luckily for me it had one final hurrah before it gave up the ghost in the driveway. I have another 235 that I plan on swapping in once the weather gets nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing the plows are on the way. My winter daily driver is a 2005 Dodge Caravan with winter tires all around, used it to go and pick-up my Boy from school today, went through the snow with ease......

55 Fargo Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Boy with the flats lands of both Wisconsin and Manitoba' date=' the wind has to really make the snow drift and some wicked whiteouts[/quote']Yes it sure can,especially in my region of the province, it looks like Wisconsin has more snow than us. Southern Manitoba is a mix of flat farm land, rollling hills on the west side, and heavy boreal forest, and hills on the east end (Aero 3113 fished in this area last summer), much of northern Manitoba is heavy bushland, with Pine, Spruce cedar,aspen and birch trees, and this starts not very far north of where I live, maybe a 100 miles or so. I live in the flattest part of the Province in the Red River Valley region, mostly agriculture land, all the ay to the US border...

aero3113 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Here is my 2008 Toyota 4Runner and 2011 Honda Civic in the snow. This pic was taken the first day we had the civic, almost 2 feet of snow. Here it is once I got the snow cleaned off and pulled it in the driveway.

Don Coatney Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ok, I've lived in snow and ice country all my life. Wazup with the wiper blades???? As I have said before. My wife once bought a new Honda. A year or more (after the warranty had just expired) she left the windshield wipers on (stopped at mid cycle) when she parked the car for the night. That night there was a freezing rain that froze the wipers to the windshield. Next morning she started the car and the wipers were still on trying to run. With the ice they could not run so it stalled the wiper motor and burnt up the relay that controlled the wiper motor. I then investigated why the wipers will not run and find the fried relay. This relay was external to the wiper motor but bolted to it. The relay was not available at NAPA or any other parts store. So I went to the dealership parts counter with the fried part in hand and told them I needed a replacement. They scrolled through there puter and thumbed through there book and promptly told me that the relay and wiper motor were a "unit" and I could not buy just the relay but I had to buy the motor assembly for a few hundred bucks. I then asked them what was the purpose of the relay. They told me the relay was there to protect the wiper motor in case the wiper motor was bound up and could not run. I told them the relay worked well and did its job as the wiper motor was still good. They were really excited to hear this but I still walked out of the store with a burnt up relay. I went home and re-wired the wiper motor to run direct from the power source with no relay. Still had all the fancy functions such as all the speeds and the park position. Sold the car a few years later as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Our 2006 Caravan didn't like this snow very much. The Plymouth stayed inside with Mary Ann's 2001 PT Cruiser..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way the magnum is a good looking ladder hauler but I bet its got a smelly drivers side front wheel............ Greg, my dog was looking for a squirrel that was near the car. If I park the car while it is snowing, the snow would melt and then freeze on the windshield. The wiper blade would then freeze also. The frozen ice would mess up the blades so they wouldn't clean good. sometimes the ice is so thick it's hard to scrape off. Also with the blades up, it's easier to clean the snow off the windshieldNever worried about blowing fuses or motors, just didn't want to chew up the edge of the blades.

oldodge41 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Here are mine this morning. '09 Dodge Journey, '01 Ford F150 and '97 Chevy Monte Carlo. The garage houses the '41 Dodge Business Cpe, '69 Dodge Dart Gt and '05 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. Couple more inches snow on the way for today. One weatherman says 1 to 3" and another says 3 to 6". I don't want any, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
