Any car mechanics in the house?

I didn't particularly feel the need to justify myself, because it's apparent you don't understand just how much snow we get here in the winter.

This derail also reminds me that I promised myself I'd buy a snowblower this year. I'm not shoveling that crap anymore.

The problem is it costs more ($449) to upgrade your mountain bike (assuming you have one) than your car would be worth in trade. I might also suggest the alternative, which would be to get a riding snowblower.
