Never do this. (Blizzard 2013)

Danielreadams · 02-09-2013, 06:49 PM

So, I went for a spin in the blizzard for about an hour, had rear windows rolled down about halfway..
The next morning I went out and saw this:

I guess in my haste to get back inside through the snow, I forgot to roll up my windows.
31'' of snow and lots of wind + windows rolled down= Fail!

I waited until dark, and used a shop vac, easy as pie.

Go ahead and make fun of me of you want, it was a stupid mistake.

WaitTheresMore · 02-09-2013, 07:21 PM

vision.dynamix · 02-09-2013, 07:22 PM

Seriously though, I always wondered what would happen if I left a window open during a blizzard.

ImprezaSTI GUY · 02-09-2013, 07:25 PM

throw a brick at the window and call your insurance comp

lazieD · 02-09-2013, 07:25 PM

tommyson01 · 02-09-2013, 07:27 PM

Bummer OP.

Serkan · 02-09-2013, 07:27 PM

Good thing you didn't forget the heater on.

ajsti24 · 02-09-2013, 07:29 PM

oh no..

xDRAN0x · 02-09-2013, 07:31 PM

aww man that sucks, I had that on my Legacy but only an inch or so go on the leather.

bjcarter2 · 02-09-2013, 07:32 PM

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to having to dig out the car.

myrt1987 · 02-09-2013, 07:33 PM

WaitTheresMore · 02-09-2013, 07:38 PM

hahaha I was just kidding, I'm just jealous we are not getting snow this year in the northwest.

Kevwa451 · 02-09-2013, 07:41 PM

My buddy has done the same thing except through 1 hurricane and 1 real bad thunderstorm. **** happens but it is quite funny.

Meat Supply · 02-09-2013, 07:52 PM

I've sort of done that before. I had a car i was selling, and after i cleaned it out one night i forgot to close the door. snow storm over night and pass seat was covered in snow. It wouldn't have been so bad but i didn't realize til morning, i had to go to work and some guy was going to be at my house pretty much when i got home, so i barely had time to clean it.

fortunately the sun came out that day and mostly dried out the interior.

so yeah, everyone does stupid **** now and then. you'll laugh about it someday, idiot

emac08 · 02-09-2013, 08:05 PM

Man. Sorry to see that. I guess it could of been worse of all the windows were open

nexile · 02-09-2013, 08:15 PM

ahhhhh that's awful. I recently got my gc8 and left the little hood vent open and was all worried because it had poured rain during the night but there wasn't a drop inside.

HinshawWRX · 02-09-2013, 08:23 PM

Post your VIN so we know what car not to buy in a month.
