Long Term: 2011 Mini Countryman: December 2011
As much as I detest the winter months here in Detroit, the truth is, I’m kind of bummed that we’ve only seen about a half-inch of snow so far this season. In fact, I was happy that our most recent snowfall actually started to stick to the parking lot across the street from my loft, simply so I could capture this photo of our with some powder on the ground. Two hours after I took this picture, it had all melted. Sigh.
So why, if I hate winter so much, do I wish there was snow outside my door? I’m extremely eager to see how our – now riding on winter tires – will fare in the slushy, wintry sludge. A proper set of snow shoes, relatively short wheelbase, decent ground clearance and all-wheel drive are a perfect combination for winter prowess, and darnit, I want to go play.
Still, in the three weeks that the Countryman has been under my watch here in Detroit, I’ve learned a lot about the big since way back in August 2010.
