pfffft.. you people don't know hardcore till you drive to school in -51C in 4-Lo because the axles are frozen only to find out that classes are cancelled due to extreme cold.

or

you're the only vehicle on the road to the gas station that's not a snowmobile, and the shovels in the back are more for tossing snow to find the keys you dropped when a gust of wind broke a plastic sign free at the gas station and scared you shitless as it went whistling by your head on it's way to slicing a towel dispenser in two.

or

you drive from Thunder Bay to North Bay in -46C temps and lowered (stiff) suspension across 1100km of frost-heaved highway with the sunroof open to vent heat from the defroster going full blast at the front window and still being unable to clear the inside of the windshield of frost. And then pulling into the gas station at Kapuskasing to find that the attendant speaks french.
