Why I like snow on my car...

Snow protects my car from bird poop... I love birds but why my car? WHY!?!?!

for a fwd car my car sucks in the snow...i swear its better off without traction control in the snow...its so low to the ground i hit ever piece of high snow around...i think partly due to the wheel/tire combo it doesnt break that great in snow either...pretty much it sucks overall...and on top of that i get like 12mpg in this crap on a good day.

That's true but the irony is that there are generally fewer birds in the winter anyway (or at least fewer birds willing to poop in the cold air maybe? ) so it's kind of like overprotection.
