styling and snow removal Posted by Saana88 [Email] (#207) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saana88) on Mon, 21 Feb 2005 19:40:53 In Reply to: Saabs' "Sno-ro-dynamic" styling, RayF, Mon, 21 Feb 2005 16:57:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Part of my job at a dealer in this weather is brushing accumulated snow off of around 80 cars with a chunk of styrofoam on a pole. I do appreciate using the arm; this morning that's what I did to my 900. It helps that our snow is wet, sticky stuff that sticks to itself and comes off in one big clump. If you're tricky you would take the car on the road and slam on the brakes or go around a corner hard and watch the whole thing slide off. Trust me, it's fun.
Other cars have sharp corners for "style" and it makes snow removal a pain in the butt if you're as picky as I am.
Most of the style on the 99-becoming-900 body was aerodynamic, but smooth and steady lines just happen to be great for snow removal.
