Default 1600 miles in 3 days - Toronto <--> Boston

Sounds like crazy? huh
well..got my new car in thursday, then goto Toronto, Canada from Boston, Mass. On the way, it was snowing so heavy! I thought I would totalled my brand new Polar White xA in the snow dumpy highway Route 95. Because of the snow, it took me 14 hours to finally arrive to my destination - Toronto.

____ happens on the next day...a heavy snow storm...see picture for details. I parked my car at the parking spot at my hotel (Holiday Inn), well...they dont have a garage...

The snow has turned to ice, I cannot even open the doors!!! Thanks I can still get some warm water from my room and I end up with pouring warm water to melt the ice...and use the towel to dry the water real quick to prevent freezing again.








Overall, the xA works good in highway, even in such a long distance!! It took me only 8 hours to come back ( 700 Miles) ...haha...a little overspeed...but the weather was good when I drive back to Boston. :o

One problem is, the snow freeze very quick on the windshield and it affect your view so badly. I have already put on anti-freeze windshiled washer fluid but it still freeze...this is annoying and DANGERous...

I'll be driving my xA back home to Toronto for the summer. Hopefully that drive will go well.. won't have to worry about snow, that's for sure.
