    Looking at 6+" at my house today...

    But I gotta say, the Optima redtop gel battery is amazing when I was starting the VX in the mornings before the garage. Being from the eastern states, the car does not have a block heater - but it only took a minute to warm up. But what really drove me nuts back then was after driving a block the windshield started to ice up on the inside, had to pull over and wait another few minutes for the defrost to catch up.

    All in all, I find the the VX laughs at winters (when she has the right tires on).

    Cheers,
    Happy holidays.:grinr::gring:
    Yep...going out in a bit to "provision up" for tomorrows blizzard party...
    Smokes, various breeds of alcohol & appropriate mixins, soup, bread, etc...
    If possible, please keep the WAY too far below zero stuff up on YOUR side of the border...
    Very Warm Holiday Wishes to my favorite Neighbors to the Nort!

    Yah, it's so strange that beeping your horn & deploying the "Flintstone brakes" doesn't seem to be that effective...who'd a thunk it?......

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Snowing good here in CT too. Work shut down, so I putzed around until the back section of the parking lot was empty, then did some donuts ebfore heading home. :-)

    The ride home was nasty - fine for the VX, but crippling for others.
