Who's BRZ is this? Stuck in the snow on Reuters Video

Lol. Whose BRZ is this? I know it must suck for the driver but I think its pretty hilarious. All these SUV's passing him by and this little BRZ is all helpless in the snow. Funky looking BRZ also.

VIDEO LINK (BRZ is at 11 seconds): http://www.msn.com/en-my/video/sport...-us/vi-BBp3ygB

As seen on the National News. I saw this last night on the CBS Evening news. Can't help but wonder if this driver was just caught out (fresh snow on the roof and hood).

My mildly lowered BRZ has been in the garage for almost 2 weeks due to the snow here. I have been slightly depressed because of it, too!

Should have invested in winter tires instead of that paint job

Good eyes. Didn't notice the RB kit until you pointed it out.

By either saying "I parked my car for the season" or "I got rid of these stupid ass tires (for winter) and bought some snows"


Dude if you are here I am going to do something I rarely do (sorry in advance) and name call.


DUMBASS! There is no excuse for trying to drive in snow with those tires. None.

woah woah tcoat language!!! man oh man.

How do we even know what tires he's running? Obv. they arent snow tires because they are prob stretched federals to fit the kit but thats beside the point.. The point is snow tires wont help a slammed bunny sitting 2 inches off the ground in any amount of snow.. the bumper is a giant snow plow at that point.
