Horrible, absolutely horrible. I've been in that situation many times, and I actually have fun driving in those conditions.

Oh, and all I can think about right now is how badly the snow stuck on the mudguards are pushing the mudguards against the paint, scratching the hell out of it. *cringe*

not really, trust me chicago winters are much worse than out here, and in illinois they use salt which totally rusts up the car. Out here in colorado they use sand, so instead of snow and salt its just snow. corosion is much less now because of that

Your car looks like it's having fun in the snow. I just hope this year it doesn't snow that much in NYC. But thank goodness our cars are FWD..hehe.

I've driven in snow before...I have property in East Tennessee and when I go up there over the holidays every year it snows and I hate it. Anything below 65 degrees is too cold for me

To tell you the truth i think thier service is pretty good. Replaced one tranny under warranty already, they give out loaners, and theres this bald guy i think hes the manager of the service dept., hes pretty nice to handle things with and doesent bullshit. My dad ripped the rear armrest in the door in his 04 TL, and thier service guys made it look brand new for pretty cheap. Also when we buy cars from there we pretty only much deal with the general manager.

How do you like the service and sales depts?
What part of IL are you from?

they take good care of me. I received a loaner on an alignment issue a month ago. The bald guy really takes care of me when i need something done. My dad and i always talk to the gm when we go there. He's a good guy.
I am from Winfield (next to Wheaton, West Chicago and Carol Stream). I just take County Farm which turns into Barrington to the dealership.

I !hate! driving in the snow! We had a bad snow storm last year and i decided to be adventurous and take a ride out the Albertsons... what a horrible idea. Not only did i get stuck in the store lot, i got stuck 2 blocks away from my house because they didn't plow my side street! Had to leave my baby out there for 2 days right next to a busy intersection. Sucked big time. She got out safe though with no scars, except mental ones...
