Rusty Chevrolet by the Yoopers... getting you in the Christmas mood with car stuff!

Skip the first 45 saeconds, they are trying to relate how hard it is to find and dig your car out of the blizzard snow



If you are from the deep snow North like me (yooper) you can relate, and if you enjoy the easy going humor of this bunch of snow bound, beer drinking, deer hunters, here's another song "My Car Won't Go" but the band never made a video for it, this one was added to the song by someone who felt the pain of lots of snow and no way to get traction

Snow chains useful for more than traction...

they were used as percussion in the song Nowhere to Run by Martha and the Vandellas
