IN BEFORE THE BLIZZARD
Step 1: Unbury winter beater and its winter tires.
Step 2: Back review truck reeeeeally close to the garage so you can jump said winter beater. (The battery wasn't having it.)
Step 3: Start garage heater. Duh.

Step 4: Actually put winter wheels and tires on winter beater.

Complain again that anyone who *likes* steelies when easier-to-grab wheels exist ain't right in the head.

Step 5: Rearrange items in garage, then ram a Ram in that hole.

(Also, remember that you still need to unpack the boxes in the garage.)

Step 6: Gloat!
Step 7: Salt the earth like you're trying to prevent an Altima factory from taking root.

Step 8: Test drive winter beater (read: find coffee you don't have to make) to see if it still makes a disconcerting grindy noise when accelerating.

(It does, but not that?? much??? Getting buried in a snowdrift helps!)

Fun fact: The test drive was to make sure I could get to the dentist tomorrow if the Ram on all-seasons (that belongs to my employer!) seemed like a bad idea.

I got a text from my dentist when I stopped at the first coffee joint I tried (which closed early) saying they were cancelling said appointment for the blizzard. WELP!

@stefthepef so many people drive 4wd vehicles on all seasons in the winter and then are surprised when they can’t stop ..

My winter tires for my civics are on steelies because they’re cheap 😂

@acsawdey YEP. Tires matter more than vehicle.
