Ice on your miata.

Frankly, this sucks.
Originally this was snow. then freezing rain/sleet fell on it and made the top 1/4 into solid ice. then it thawed and refroze into an even thicker sheet of ice. Basically I have a perfect mold of the top of my car in ice. As a fun aside, I did make a nice handbrake U-turn on my street this morning. even the gf thought it was fun. |
I only get ice on my car when I spill my cocktail...
|
Why use the handbrake to do the turn when you can use your right foot? :D
|
Yea, The same thing here. Mine is still frozen in a big block of ice. I'm not going anywhere so it's going to stay right where it is for a few more days. It looks a lot like your photo.

Wow. I've seen snow once, and it was just enough to make the ground white. We struggled to make snowballs for about 2 hours and by then it had stopped and all melted. I was five, and they canceled school before it snowed so the kids could go home and play. Glad they did. :)
EDIT: Correction, I was seven. Like it matters... |
Yup mine had the same ice coating after all the freezing rain that fell here too.
|
They closed my office yesterday due to the ice, I got lots of work done, as I still went in myself.

Matt, do you actually drive your car in the snow?

once through the mountains of colorado to get the car here from CA once to go on a job interview--it was only a light snow once this month i caught some flurries while the gf was using her own car. the ice will probably be mostly gone by the time I get home tonight. |
hoping to build one with guvmint tax credit for first time homebuyers. |
Federal Housing Tax Credit for First-Time Home Buyers: Home
if you bought basically between april 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009 and make under 75k (or 150k married/jointly) then you get the full dilly of $7500 repayable interest free over 15 years. |
naturally we closed on March 1st.
|
i thought you lived there much longer than that

Have I ever told you how much I think you suck?:fawk: |
if I tried to put my top down today, it'd break :(

I don't drive the Miata when the roads are salty, so it's been stuck in the garage for a while. But it did take me about 15 minutes to remove the ice cocoon from my beater Saturn yesterday morning.
I love those folks who only scrape off their windshield, then head straight for 60+ mph on the beltway, where they proceed to molt the rest of their cocoon into traffic. One truck launched a pretty impressive sheet about 15 feet above his roof. Bought our house back in July but unfortunately don't qualify for the tax credit as we're not first-time owners. But I can take some solace in the low interest rates we've got now. Signing the papers on our refi tomorrow afternoon.:) |
