37. You drive home in 2nd and only sometimes 3rd gear, because going any faster could have disasterous consequences (drove home in 2nd, about a 25minute drive, usually 15, after the roads decided that they were tired of being made from asphalt and preferred to be made from ice instead...)

44 - you time your car washes so you can clean the car when there is no more salt on the road and it doesn't snow for a couple of days.

45 - you can get your car out of a rut/some ice by rocking it forward and backwards and using the momentum to carry you threw.

you go through a bottle of windshield wash every two weeks.

everyone tells you how stupid you are for lowering your car

people say you should snowplow w/ the civic cause it's too low / the kit


you forget what color your car is until the spring

come spring you've got more scratches on your paint from cleaning the snow
