Also please anyone with recent 1600x1200 + resolution pictures of their Fiero in the snow email them to me with your location and anything else you want to mention. I might do a special snow page in this March/April issue of Domestic Driver!

Well they aren't pretty pictures, but I needed to disprove that theory that you can't drive a fiero just because its snowing outside. Most of the drivers I saw were driving safely, it was on my return trip that I encountered 2 different SUV's that felt they needed to be right on my bumper. I am behind on my most recent payment to the insurance company or I just might have dropped it into a 1st and used the insurance money to fix a few things and get a new paint job. lol
At the house. I was able to get it out of the snow pretty easily.
At the blockbuster a few miles away.
At the post office.
Getting back into that same parking spot at home was little more difficult but nothing I couldn't handle.
Feel free to use my pics.

Sadly, I do not have these any larger, but several of the shots would make a great Collage.
This was a few years ago, we drove the cars back into my backyard through 3" of snow, and did not have any problems. A couple of Donuts later, and this is where they came to rest to take a breather.

Snow, what snow? Oh you mean that frozen solid stuff that LOOKS like snow. When you can walk on it and not breake the surface, it's stretch to all it snow. Hey wait, Im in Va, it's not supose to get like this... This is not helping my plans to bring 2 cars to Carlislie this year.

Ok the snow I could take but grrrrrrrr got that same frozen crap, and I can't get my car out of its spot. How the heck do you get that initial traction? I thought about jacking it up and putting a piece of wood under the tire, but well there is no room for a jack.

I'm not up in Oswego area where they got a butt load (wouldn't we just be looking at a snow pile anyway?), but the snow banks on the side of the road are at least twice the height of my roof line. I'll get a few snowy cell phone pics tomorrow.

Whenever its supposed to freeze I put my headlights up and unplug them so they wont go back down, keeps the motors from frying when the ice freezes them shut.

Had to make room to park some more cars for company, so I parked beside the house. Normally do this during summer, but in winter we pile the snow in the spot.
