I saw this on reddit this morning and thought of all you VW owners that are tucking your VW's in bed for the long winter slumber.
This one has a Peter Aschwanden energy to it.
The artist usually posts cartoon strips of her VW issues and other fun stuff.
I did ask the artist if it would be acceptable to repost her work here.
She's good with it.

This one popped up today. It feels about right for those of you that store your cars over the winter months.

Aren't you on your first Co winter? It will be very snowy there too.

Depends where you were in New York but the snow over by the Great Lakes is very wet and heavy not that light fluffy powder that you’re going to enjoy in Colorado. If you’re into snow sports you’re going to love that!
