I almost cried with horror... and because of the absolute beauty of it!!!

why horror?

my car was covered in about 1/2 inch of ice.

Where in GA?

It's an 8sicle.

That was this winter in Switzerland near France (2 miles), i was there befor 3 month ago on a pretty sunday and this winter it looks like this: http://www.skyandsummit.com/Glacegeneve/

sorry but those were some amazing pictures. i've never seen anything like that before.

it happens to our boats, on a much smaller scale, up in AK.....or at least it would if we didn't try to prevent it.

I think the funniest part is the antenna...which has become the size of a Poster shipping tube yikes! :)

that,my friends is a prime example of cold fusion,uh I mean,uh a car with alot of armourment,uh .....well.stealthy. :p

I think something like that happened recently in Toronto. Because of the extreme cold during last week's snow storm ... some water mains broke and some poor guy's car was right infront when the water came out. So in the morning, the guy and his son had to go at the ice with ice picks. Some minor paint damage. Sorry I could find the link but it looked similar to the above pic.

I'll try to post my pics from down here in Macon area later tonight.

Is that what they would refer to as "prime drifting conditions?" :D

Neither a Boxster or an MR2 - it's an MG MGF (manufactured mid-90s to current (although the upgraded current version is the MGTF)), never sold in North America.

Here are the two shots of my icicle mobile...

Hey to all fellow GA 8'ers. Now that i'm stationed here in Oklahoma I too get a LOT of ice. I'm just nervous as hell that I don't have a car port to shelter my baby from the inevitable hail storms and twisters to come in a few months. Oh, the horror!!!

Here are the two shots of my icicle mobile...

Ok...that's bad!!! Buuuurrrrr!!!

your bumper is "off"

Wow yea, your bumper does look like its falling out of a place a bit there.

Also, if the ice accumulates on your car like this (as in a little bit, not like the car covered in ice picture :p ), should it be removed, or does it not really hurt the car to have ice on it?

yeah man i almost wrecked during that time last week...all hell froze over...its sucked a$$..here is a lil pic i took of my 8http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5df11b3127cce9f27cb8777f600000016108AaMWLdk5ctw

I heard it was pretty rough, everyone was iced in. ....downshift downshift downshift...

Midnight, that's an AWESOME picture! You should send it to Mazda!

your bumper is "off"

Wrecked by an idiot not paying attention on I-75. I stopped the truck behind me stopped and this idiot plowed into the car in front of him and sent her and the truck behind me into my car. The car he hit was destroyed and the truck bumper was bent all the way into the front tire, so my car looks a lot better than it should since the FHP trooper said the impact was at least 40mph to my car.

This is a couple pages late, but the guys at the garage on Alfred and King street in Old Towne do a really good hand wash.

Holy shit ! Ouch !

Here are my pictures from the ice storm here in Atlanta. Almost looks like a bad case of orange peel :D

sounds like bodykit time to me :p

I think it was the Gov. of California who did it..
all smug in his tower.

I kept my baby in the garage during that storm in Atlanta. :cool: My parents car on the other hand was frozen... if that woulda been my car.. :eek:

There are far more things to cry than just an 8 turning into an 8cicle.

who said they were going to cry about it?

I WILL! The cold actually cracked my windshield :( I have to take it to the dealer soon to get that proven for sure, but I didn't have any cracks on my glass until the ice storm passed through. Phooey. :(

Shabs, welcome to the Club--What color is your 8 and whereabouts are you generally in Atlanta? Ti Gray here, in the Smyrna/Vinings area.

Markd - Thanks for the welcome :) Aww it cracked your windshield? That sucks! Sorry to hear that. :( In certain circumstances maybe I'd cry too. :rolleyes: hehe I guess not everyone would tho. Oh well. Whatever floats your boat! I'm in Stone Mountain and my 8 is blue. I just got it back yesterday. :cool:
