So I live in Portland Oregon and we got hit with more snow than we've had in 40 years (16" at my house) and it's hung around for two weeks. I was able to borrow a friends 4X4 Suburban the last two weeks, but I'm going to complain to him. The heated seat was broken, it had no heated steering wheel, no nav., no heads up display, no logic 7, I even had to adjust the wipers myself! Today was the first day back in my car, wow am I spoiled. Oh, and never could hear the purr of the V8. Some friend!

I feel your pain. We've been buried in snow in Seattle too. Unfortunately, my 5er doesn't do well at all in the ice and snow. So it's been sitting in the garage for the last week and a half. I'll finally be taking it out again tomorrow. Woot!
