"thing that can not be found when you think from a cars perspective" nah cos you can actually see through the windshield right after a fresh snow and its often quite pretty right after it snows, and the car keeps the cold out, snow driving is literally fine once you get decent snow tires, the worst part is Other Dumbass Drivers Behaving Dangerously, which is like. a bog standard downside of driving or existing near roads.

no, my hate of snow stems well before I ever started driving, my hate of snow stems from having to clear it off of shit. all around bad time. hate it. want nothing to do with that ever again. dont like learing off the car either, but its not nearly as bad as shoveling out our front steps as a child

#reblog #theres plenty of shit about driving and car culture that sucks and is bad. you dont have to make things up and lie💙#like to be clear. this is not: 'driving is great everyone should drive all the time everyone should drive their own car!'#no. everyone being forced to drive and that being the only option in so many places is in fact a Key Problem With Driving that makes it #actively worse for everyone involved.#but you really dont need to like...lie. goddamn #shovelling snow? miserable shit. its wretchedly cold out so youre bundled up. but youre physically exerting yourself so youre sweating #you unzip a little to cool down. cos youre sweating #youre wet from the sweat. now youre a miserable temperature that is actively dangerous depending how long you stay out #and if youre me you have a fucked up little spine that cant handle even a little twisting motion from shoveling so thats gonna take you out #for a week now too. AND its one of the few things that make me ACUTELY aware of the fact that i do have asthma #snow driving is nothing #now. freezing rain/nasty Slush/sleet shit?? thats not fun to drive in cos its scary. but ill be honest it sounds even more miserable to #walk in???????#cos on top of it being scary now youre exposed to it all and fucking freezing especially cos it always makes it like that awful cold humid #that goes right to your fucking bones #also to be clear i dont have like a stereotypical like rugged Winterized car. i have a tiny front wheel drive clown car #that i throw snow tires onto every yr and it has heated seats. altho the drivers side heated seat is broken #gotta get that fixed #hey there's another thing that Does Actually Suck About Cars and Car Owning: the constant costs of maintenance and fixing shit #see. you really Do Not Have To Make It Up like this
