I think that picture really exemplifies the "wedge" shape that these 2000+s were supposed to have. Hahahaha

My wife's car sees daily use.
Mine hasn't seen day light since before it snowed.
It's killing me to not drive this great car, but it would kill me more to take it out in the crap we call winter.

My two DD's in their salty gloriousness. We've only had MAYBE a half dozen days above zero since Thanksgiving, been below zero for almost an entire month straight - so no chance to wash them. The Mustang is still sparkling from its pre-hibernation detail last October though.

An Escalade in town has the license plate "tikmakr" (ticket maker). I need that license plate. I'm on my fourth license plate ticket and fourth window tint warning.

Amen brotha! -4* early evening last night, yet it was 77* in my garage.

How the 'Burb rolls right now... Filthy and covered in salt, snow/ice. Probably won't get washed until June once all this stuff melts. Just got done plowing here yesterday and had taken the plow off.

Here's my LeSabre after the big snow storm last week. It has been sitting like this since August, awaiting brake and fuel line transplants (the Caprice wagon sits on the other side of the LeSabre, but it's hiding in the dark right now):
Image

This is the G8 from a couple months ago, but has been sitting like this since October (not exactly like this, I keep the doors closed and the cover over the car, :lol: ):

Nothing of the Bonneville, and I'm not sure why.

I love the parking job! Whenever it snows I make an effort to try to climb snow drifts to park where everyone else is afraid too.

There are some more spots right in front of the truck that are being used. But because of the snow cover on the ground no one can actually see the lines and they park way too far back. If I parked normal I'd probably have a hell of a time pulling out later on once cars are around me.
