I did mine 3x yesterday and then woke up to 3ft of snow the plow dumped infront of my driveway! I would've been able to get out if they didn't plow at all, but after the plow I had to dig out!! WTH do I pay taxes for again???

We pay taxes so they can bend us over and ram it our ............

I got up this morning to the same thing. A mountain of snow at the end of the driveway. I said, that's it, I am working for home today.

Going out to dig out now. What a great way to spend a lunch break

Hearing these stories actually makes me glad I am in a apartment - for once. The rest of the year I stare longingly at big attached garages I pass by.

My hoa continues to impress me every winter. My driveway is always clear when theres 2"+ of snow so I don't have to deal with huge snowbanks.

osbornsm

I got ya on that one... I always have my "people" take care of the snow.

And Ken... how did you FLOOD ?!??! Holy crap man

All the snow piled against the side of the garage and the way the driveway is designed has resulted in everything that melts to leak right in

That sucks. Is your driveway not slightly elevated so the water flows away from the house?

ZMan8

It is, but right near the garage the driveway actually angles back towards the house. Fail on contractors part.

Ken, are you in a new build? If so, get the builder to fix that SHIATE pronto!!

So what is to happen when it rains like hell here tonight or any other night for that matter?

Your hoa may cover the fix for that. You have a townhouse, right?

damn Ken that sucks..........I had my lower level flood last week, I feel ur pain.

I replaced the steering lock last night and all is good, took 5 minutes and pulled the fuse.

to make up for that, my wheels should be done in 2 weeks....WOOT

No this is a 15 year old town house. Actually, when it just rains I don't have issues. I had 6 ft high snow mounds near the garage which I think caused this.

I'll see what they say

Can't wait to see the new set up!

Fellow Chicagoian Brothers,

I recently purchased a 2006 Nissan Murano for my wife. Bought it back in September '13. Good thing......especially with this winter. It has been a rock and at least I feel very confident when my wife drives it while encountering bad weather......which seems to be every 3rd day this year.

My question is this. The car has only 58K miles on her. I'm not familiar with 3.5L engine, but I have been advised it is the same engine that was in the 350z. I just had the oil changed with Nissan Ester the other day. Is this overkill? Does the 3.5L have VVEL like the 3.7L?

Are there any benefits to using the Ester here or should I just stick with conventional oil?

Many thanks.
