So which one of you got stuck in Ohio and made the national news?

I meant to post this earlier as I came upon this around 8 am this morning.

CBS morning news talking about a blizzard in Ohio. Nice looking 128i/135i with what appear to be VMR V701's.

Which one of you got stuck?

LOL

Ohio was a joke this morning. We got a dusting.

Oh, this is why you run with full winters.

Come on, I got out of this only to get stuck later in even deeper snow. Been on the roads when they were like a hockey rink. Be prepared people. I'm fairly sure it does snow and freeze over in Ohio once and a while during winter.

I do prefer living in a part of the country where snow is taken in stride and has very positive economic benefits.

Full winters for sure - worth every penny. I store my 1er for the winter, but back when I had my 3 and ran it year round, this is what it looked like lol... We had about 1' of snow that day, the ice buildup is from the drive home after work.

There wasn't any serious snow accumulation, just a bunch of hype.*
I was dying to hit some empty parking lots with 3" of fresh on them, but it seemed to be a bit conspicuous, given the statewide travel ban last night.




*Public Enemy told us not to believe it.

Is it just me or is there an absurd amount of negative camber on the front of that car?
