i drive 30 miles one way, in the country, to work.  it's not that bad.  things i put in the back, just incase.  tow strap, small tool bag with miscellaneous tools, windshield fluid, oil, coolant and what else  :icon_scratch:

LOL, you sound like my dad... "walked 5 miles to school in the dead of winter".

All kidding aside, wow, have you ever had to use any of these things?

She didn't mention antifreeze and tire changing issues..But like the sample photos I posted earlier, some install block heaters to help their cars start in cold freezing mornings..:



Several years ago I dated a girl from Minn, she said she had to keep an electric blanket on her engine. I thought she was lying this whole time.

You're gonna need this too: so people don't slip outside your doorsteps.

Oh yes, if your window ventilations are poor, not so good, going to need to do this too:

otherwise your heating cost will skyrocketd.

Sounds complicated living in them snowy weather condition places...

Not only you have to babysit your car, you gotta babysit your housing and piping from bursting too.
Not to mention to buy them snow plowing machine to get out of your driveway.

I got family in wis and mn so yeah, I heard all them complaints.  I was a baby when we had our snow in atlanta so yeah, I lived through it already.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing. Now I see why all your cars have rust on them.

How much does a bucket of that size cost?

Hey Beautiful... forgive the ignorance, what the hell is that?

It’s a snowblower and it’s always nice to have if there are >2 inches accumulation of snow, especially if it’s heavy snow.  It saves time and it’s easier on the back/arms from shoveling.  ;D

Ahhh, as beautiful as you are, I am surprised the boys near you don’t come knocking down your door, asking to clear your driveway!

Seriously, good stuff, thanks for educating this warm weather man.
