BMW Plow

Two Sheds · 03-05-2008, 07:21 PM

Well I got home today and my driveway was blocked after the plow had been past. For whatever reason my side of the street always get a fecking huge pile form the plow, whilst the opposite side gets literally 2 or 3 inches.

Anyway I couldn't be bothered to park and clear it before getting in, so I'm thankful I got an xi

I know most of the time when they plow the street, there's like rocks, salt, and ice that collects in the snow at the bottom of your driveway.

it's pictures like these that make me glad I'm living back in Vancouver again...but I got to say I did enjoy Toronto when I lived there.

nospleeny · 03-06-2008, 01:16 AM

Oh... and I forgot to mention... that picture looks like 905 area... because I know in Toronto, the plows usually have this thing that come down to prevent the snow from piling up in front of people's driveways while the 905 region doesn't do that.

X5 to the rescue...

Don't be so lazy, get out an shovel. Your defniitely damaging your car.

Rossland · 03-06-2008, 10:56 AM

Be careful, BMW's are lousy snowplows. The smooth underbody will act as a toboggan and slide up on top of the snow. The wheels won't be touching the ground so xdrive wont help you.

Look at snow shovelling in a positive light. It is a "free" membership in a fitness club. LOL

That's good, maybe they could save on paying city employees to do it and actually fix the roads now?
