that they do, but it kinda sucks when the snow is half-way up your door so you gotta shovel 3-4 feet outside the door JUST to get inside the car (bringing ALL that snow back into the car when you sit down)

damn

Lol, I drove my way out of snow as high as the bottom of the car (well, almost, maybe an inch lower) I love my tires! not even winter tires, but have had no problems in this weather.

in my case, I lived on one of the busy main streets, which gets plowed - but had to park the car outside next to the apt bldng - well, guess what happens when the plow comes through? that's right ... it pushes snow infront of itself + to the sides of it (most importantly - to the right side)

so by the morning's time, my car was covered in snow and there was almost no way to tell at one point that there even was a car ... and this really isn't snow anymore - salt, dirt, little melted and then partially frozen

another time the car did really get snowed in about 1/3 of the door's way

I am in Maryland where the snow of the century just fell.

First picture after 19 hours of snowing.
Second and third after 24 hours of snowing. I think it finally stopped now.
Spent most of the day digging out the 2 non Porsche vehicles.
Red 944 in garage. The buried Black 944 gets dug out tomorrow.
