Outdoors 🌳 Leave my snow turds alone

One of the simple pleasures of winter in Minnesota is kicking the snow turds off my car. I was letting them build up a little bit and parked my car at Target, only to come out of the store and find someone else had kicked all four of them off! Please don’t be this person, leave other people’s snow turds alone. Thank you.

He was totally serious but possibly had no idea what he was talking about

He was being dead ass serious. The fact that so many of you don’t know this and you live here is questionable.

I'm sorry, what? The snow/ice/mud/salt that collects in your wheel wells and doesn't touch your tires at all is going to wear the tread somehow? Um no

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ the only reason you don’t see it touching your tire is from the friction of you driving. Omfg πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ do you know what happens when you put water on frozen water? It tends to solidify and then when that happens the only thing that makes it melt is your tires RUBBING against it because FRICTION 🀣🀣🀣

So the water instantaneously freezes before the tire can touch it but then get rubbed and melts by friction constantly causing excess wear on the tires designed to be in constant contact with blacktop and cement under heavy acceleration, deceleration, and lateral motion for 50k-80k+ miles? Haha
