Winter Mode 2.0: Canadian style

I didn't want to hijack subbuzz's thread, so I started my own Well, winter has finally arrived in , started off monday with 5 inches of snow, then blowing snow on tuesday, yesterday and today freeeeeezing cold -35C which equals -31 F My car makes weird noises and sputters when I try to start it. Also sounds like my climate control is going to blow up and my leather seats are cold as f*ck... Nevertheless I decided to take a few pics of my car in winter mode. She is dirty as hell, and she's gonna stay like that for another few days because they are calling for another 6 inches of snow
Here are the pics, oh and btw,.. I hate winter




Don't mind the different color signals, waiting on another amber one...
Under all that dirt and salt, she's still a beauty

She's crying because summer's gone... There is one installed on my car but the fob is broken and the system looks very low quality, I just unplugged it. I have to remove it once and for all when it gets warmer...

Big difference

I'm strippin the whole car down for all the work I'm doing to it, that's why she has no front end. As for what I'm doing, that's a secret Let's just say overhaul, I don't post everything I'm doing anymore, I've gone underground

$55 Canadian?

If so, that is still cheap right?
I haven't been to Canada in years, so I'm not sure what the exchange rate is.
