Holy cow...I'm glad all that snow is turning to rain before it hits Michigan! Then again, we won't have a white Christmas. :(

SUV of some type...Jeep was my first guess...but I'm picturing something else that I can't quite remember the name of...I'm thinking maybe Nissan.

Whatever it is, I think it's a few years old. Like maybe late 90's/early 00's.

Thanks for the guesses. The snow finally slipped off the rear of the car enough to ID it as a 2.7 T Audi Quattro wagon.

When you have that much snow in teh frame, you have to add a stop or two of compensation. The camera's meter wants to make teh snow grey. Just a friendly reminder from another in the snow belt.

ANd I diddo everything that was already said by the other Michiganders :)


30D etc.

Damn, I was way off! :lol: And I had a white Jeep Cherokee turn in front of me earlier with tail lights that I swear looked just like that.
