Nice technique!


On a more serious note: I`m sure you already know Better clear that snow away, even if it doesnt seem like much, that amount of snow on your car during longer times could potentially squeeze down your roof or even ruin your suspension or other parts, targa roofs or sun-roofs are especially vulnerable! Edit: Certainly if the temperature outside goes up and that snow, allthough much may melt away, is actually more water than snow, when the cold comes again, you`ll be looking at utterly destroyed sun-roof, etc etc.

yup, the snow was cleared shortly after the pic, only to be replaced by more snow (also cleared quickly). we NEVER get that much snow here. of course, i didn't need to really worry about leaks as i have a slicktop .

the snow was really light powder. nothing like we normally get. i cleared that stuff off my car right after the pic, and trust me, the slicktop held up admirably. and up here in hippy-doucheland seattle area we don't get salt because it might hurt the precious ****in environment so rust is not a concern. the main thing i am worried about is chips in the paint, and i bought a bunch of Nissan factory touch up paint in my color for just that reason.

yup, i'm totally mr. hippie.

btw, Al Gore is a total moran. global warming is a farce. the natural cycle of the sun has WAY more to do with the current climate than any human interaction. yes, climate change is happening, but you are a moron if you think humans have anything to do with it. natural cycles are a FACT. global warming is a FARCE!

natural cycles have never been said not to exist, its a known fact theres been what is it 2 ice ages? and then of course the heating of the world prior. the thing is with human interaction the atmosphere lets more heat/radiation in and less back out. its not human created by any means, just human accelerated. and that is undeniable. but global warming will not effect our lives and wont cause mass destruction for many generations, so while its a concern, its nothing major, not compared to running out of natural resources anyways.

ok didnt the last ice age and the previous warming take millions of years to change just a few degrees BUT we have seen a temporature change (what an estimated 2-3 degrees durring the summer, compared to previously recorded temps?) in the last 100-150 years of the industrial revolution, guess mothernature has stepped up her game!!!

i've barely seen more than a few snow flakes this year. we used to get plenty down here.

another bad part about snow on the car, if you have perfect paint, is that it will put those tiny little scratches in that just make it look old. it's the same thing as washing it with a not perfect brush. i don't care about it with my car now, as the paint isn't really great, but with the midget, i never let it touch snow, cause i had just put a perfect paint job on it.

you cant assume that one year of higher temps is the cause of GW, now when we have 50 years of consistent higher temps then we might have something to worry about.

it is a consistent average in rise, its just not as steady as said studies suggest. the government wouldnt just look at one year and claim something. anyone that argues global warming is any sort of farce is a retard, its a proven cycle. the issue is it is being accelerated by humans, and in all honesty, all we will get is messed up weather, it wont kill us. it will just make life shittier. this is pointless, back to snow on a Z32.... you shouldnt have done that, he's just a boy
