Bad Weather = Tribeca

Here in Rockland NY we got hit with alot of rain causing alot of flooding everywhere and the barley even two weeks ago we had a huge snow storm! Glad to have the B9, i actually had to drive through inches of water from a river that overfload on my street, it was fun and the B9 didnt get stuck or anything, it was crazy and my neighbors didnt want to drive their Navigator or F150 through it, Really impressed and glad to have the B9 for the weather and to have a little fun :D

Yup having a B9 is great in rain and snow. I always enjoy making my own parking spots in piles of snow.

I wish there was a way to knock some puonds off of the B9 though. I also live in Rockland and I've noticed that turns in the snow sometimes end up with some shouldering into the turns. At speeds of around 15-20 mph, the weight of these beasts takes a little time to grab traction (tends to want to go straight) on turns. I haven't tried to see if this happens with the traction control off....Hmmmmm....NEXT winter of course!

the B9 is tons of fun in the snow.

yeah i hate all the snow of the roof i can never get like the last big snowstorm that hit the east, where in Rockland do you live , im from Sufffern

I'm in Airmont. Snow on the roof is a pain. I had a massive avalanche once when I hit the brakes and it slightly bent one of the wiper blades! I was able to bend it back by hand (saving $70 in the process) and its fine now. My favorite driving with the B9 is on the highway by far. Quiet and vibration free and 24+ mpg to boot.

Oh wow, nice to see other B9s/Tribecas in the Suffern/Montebello/Airmont area. It is pretty quiet and is great for long trips, I loved how it handled when I was upstate and everynight there was about 3-4inches of snow, with no/little town snowplows

I have one of the extra long snow brushes. I always push the majority of the snow off the roof. One, it's the law and two I don't want the avalanche coming down on me.

I don't remember what the details were. I usually brush everything off, that time I believe the snow was on a Friday, and knew I wouldnt be going out and left it on top. Of course 2 days later it was like a rock. It was on a gas fillup run that sun, inside heat etc. and a tap on the brakes caused it to come down! I'm not one to leave the snow on top to have it fly off on the highway.

In our state it's illegal to leave snow on your roof. Nothing like going down the road and the bonehead in front of you has a huge sheet fly off an dent your car...

yeah i brush it off and drive to the elementary school near my house and knock it off, when the schools are closed
