Isn't that true here in California. I had mine out the other day and it started raining. People where asking me how I was going to get it home after work. I informed them that it came with windshield wipers. Loving the snow pics!

I've never been to Germany, but I think it rains and snows there?

I'm about sick with the snow here in the mid-atlantic. I live in Virginia, where we've been hammered with more snow this year than any other time on record... Dec. 19th we were hammered with 24 inches, then in Feb. we've had four "snow events" that have shut the federal goverment down for 4 days straight. I've used my snow blower to push more snow than I'd ever have imagined... Atleast we haven't lost power, yet...

If I could pick up and move to Georgia, I'd do it... Few more years though... Just a few more years...

Always fun to laugh at the carnage from people who have no idea how to drive in the snow...as long as nobody got hurt.

When I got my TT, I never even checked to see if th wipers worked. That was not on my list being here in Calif,. But four weeks later I tryed to use them and thay did not work. Pulled over to a parking lot & said to myself thier is no wasy thay dont work on a car with 39K miles. Pulled the 3rd row number six fuse and it was so oxidized from never being used, Replaced it and both the front and rear wipers work.
So my new thing will be to take the turbo out in the next big rains and see how this car really dose in the wet. No garage queen here.

I just got back from dropping off our Miata to have a spec cage welded into it for this coming season, and it's amazing how well the roads are. Big issue now is snow drifts blowing back into the highway... My rig was being blown around quite a bit. It was kinda crazy!!

I can not wait for summer...

Me neither, playing 'Need for Speed' on the Wii just isn't cutting it anymore...although I can drift my a$$ off and I am less worried about hitting a wall.

You'll have to work up the courage to start practicing and applying those drift skills in real life in heavy traffic just like in the game. It makes the daily commute so much more interesting.

I test the defensive driving skills of other drivers daily. Keeps them on their toes.
