Snow + GT3 = Plow

We just got 15 inches of snow yesterday. And since I've become a bit lazy in terms of clearing the snow off my driveway, I simply inserted my best front splitter and let the GT3 do the rest of the work.

Enjoy.

(P.S. - don't try at home without proper snow tires)

Would you disclose the fact that it was a plow when you sell it?

I can see future for sale ads, never been used as a plow!

Snow

Simple daily driver. Never missed a snow or rain storm. Runs nearly every day. Does not leak a drop of oil. Only avoidance - the Car Wash.

Why would you want to do something like this to the GT3? I would NEVER ever do that without snow chains on.

Awesome! It's great to see people actually driving their cars. It's a car, it's built to be driven. When I get my GT3 after I finish school, it's going to be a year round DD here in Colorado.

Just keep a good layer of sealant and wax on it and wash all the chemicals off pretty frequently and it will hold up just fine.

Rennline.com sells the front bumper tow hook. I use it to pull other cars out of ditches when they go off the road in the snow.

Reminiscent of the guy who pulled the passenger seat out of his Turbo to fit his oversized dog to travel with him

I love the plow idea because I don't have the ***** to do it in my GT3.

Great Thread! I wish you would’ve got some pics w/ you pushing the snow w/ the car.

My car is a DD and it never misses a day either. Rain, Sleet, Snow, and Heat the car gets drove! I can't see how a person gets the true value out of the car w/out driving it. But that's just me.
