Default 7 inches of snow + scion xB = fun (pictures)

I love it when all my Montana friends make fun of my little short bus...yesterday we threw the Blizzaks and the Yakima rack on and plowed the road. We watched three four-wheel drives get stuck and still made it to the top of the trailhead -- pushing through about 7 inches of snow the whole time (it was just over the door sills and the rear skirt).

Hey!

What's that white stuff around your yellow toaster?

I've never seen that stuff here in Phoenix except on snow cones with sum flavoring at the state fair.

Nice ! Been there done that in 9 inches of fresh un-plowed snow. I love the sound of snow draggin on the underside. And the beep beep beep of the trac/stability going off all the time.

Exactly right. You might need to mout up one of those orange flags to the rear bumper like dune buggies have.
