Beat me to it......I live in Quebec and had 1/2 or more freezing rain and never a problem. Remote start the car with it set to defrost and it gradually gets warmer and melts or at least a layer of water and the ice just slides off. I would say that if you DIDN’T put the heat on, warmed the engine and THEN put hot air…

My picks:

Yeah, we WISH the heat would come on that fast, right?

Your Idiot is the most important job title I have, and I wear it with pride.

Jason, you are an idiot, but we all thought that long before this article. Plus, you’re OUR idiot.

Oh, hi.

Counter-counter point... nah. Between keeping it clean, extra heat absorption, and how abundant it is, black is lame for a car color, black wheels on the other hand are a-okay.

The Ferrari in The Car.

Starred for the pretty blue taste, mi casa su casa.

Meh, Fargo PD and every other police department in North Dakota got by fine for a long time with RWD Crown Victorias. And before that the vast majority of cars and trucks in ND were RWD. A couple of sand bags in the trunk and winter tires and you would be just fine.

You want a B8-gen Audi S4. 3 pedals, Supercharged 6 good for well north of 300hp, the best AWD in the business (ignore the subaru people, they’re wrong), great looking, with the best blue color this side of the E39 M5. Plenty of modern luxury bells and whistles, and a low-mileage model will run you high 40's.

Nes Hockey. You could pick between skinny, medium, and fat guys. My friends and I would have 8 team tournaments. Then graduated to NBA JAM.

Try a used (2014) bmw 550i

4th Generation Acura TL SH-AWD. Get a post-refresh model (2010-2014) since they fixed that weird beak. They DID come with a 6 speed manual and they’re rated at 305 hp. It might be tough finding a blue, manual, SHAWD one tho.

I don’t even ask for steering feel these days, but yes, it definitely has none that I can tell, despite the M Sport package (some have mentioned it improves handling, never read specifics on feedback). I was cross-shopping against an S6 and GS350 FSport (I wanted AWD, so no GS F or Chevy SS). They all felt the same,…

For the same reason that I like driving my S30 Datsun or listening to Parliament Funkadelic-it’s an old school good time.
