You warm weathered IS300 owners must be jealous of us cold regions.
Dealing with sub zero temperatures, so cold that your nose hairs freeze into little icicles. Shelling out an additional 800+ dollars on snow tires and rims. Salt and grime collecting all over the nice IS300 body. Having to buy extra windshield fluid because you'll use most of it to clean all that salt off of your windows while driving. Having to ask you guests to shake as much of the wet snow off their boots before entering the your clean IS300. But even then it's not enough...thank god for Weather Tech floor mats. Scraping all that snow and ice off your windshields and warming your cars up in the freezing cold. But hey we finally get to use our seat butt warmers and heated mirrors. Keeping an extra small shovel in the trunk in case you get snowed in or in case the city plow trucks swing by the road your parked and build a wall of snow around your precious Lexus. Being unable to drive no where near the minumum speed limits because of bad road conditions. Or what about dodging all the icicles falling off of that truck in front of you on the highway cuz the damn truck driver was too lazy to clean off the snow on his truck. Having to say a prayer every time you lane change cuz your cars squirm over the snow piles between each lane. Having to stop a zillion miles before you usually do because you know you'll slide part of the way. But hey find an empty K-Mart parking lot with fresh snow and you'll get awesome fun donuts in the snow. Or what about the hassle of having to enter your cars from the passenger side cuz your driver side doors a frozen shut. How about rocking your cars back and forth to get out of that parking spot surrounded buy piles of snow. Or worse yet flagging down someone to push you out. Yes some of us have SUVs, but here in my family my wife gets the truck for the winter.
I know you Cali guys are jealous of this. You and your summy 70+ degree weather, with mini skirts left and right, having to decide between air conditioner or sun roof. I'm in the midwest (Chicago) and it's starting to get mighty cold and flurries are starting to fall.
Gotta go swap my tires now.
