That was a beautiful picture. I miss a little snow. I know what you mean about the mini and not driving in the snow! I moved back to Mi for a bit in 1991 with a 1971 Ford pickup with no rust. I swear, you'd think it was a car show in the parking lot! Folks had never seen a truck without rusted out fender wells.
lol my daughter lived in mi .. moved back here 4 years ..her car is so rusted she's afraid to wash it..
