Only sideways on purpose However, I had to jump a snowbank to get into my driveway and my 1 ended up with a mouth full of snow!

haha I love it...I can only imagine the what treacherous conditions you guys deal with up there. And I watch a woman do the Gas/Brake dance trying to climb a lightly dusted 5 degree incline yesterday

Even the President agrees we're a bunch of weather wusses down here.

If your 1er had a brain, imagine what she was thinking at that sideways moment

Glad you straightened her out in time.

Funny! The one good thing about the winter is it makes me slow down and drive more cautiously. With all the sand on the roads, it's almost impossible to get on it.

Not sideways yesterday, it was pretty clear everywhere I had to go. But I went home early on Weds, when the snow turned to rain, and while we mostly continued straight, the death triangle did wink at me a few times.

Yeah, I'm surprised at just how good the 1er is with snows also.

And I hear you on the car sale - I remember selling my first car, an '89 Toyota Tercel huge POS - I definitely felt really shitty about it, even though it was a rustbucket. Cars, man. Good stuff.

Idk when I sold my cars, I was surprised I even got money for them. I got a little too sideways with it and i swear that poll just jumped out in front of me... <-- I probably looked something like this


I sold that car as is for 5k. Definatly coulda got more if I parted it out. I was more sad about what I did to my baby
