    snow!!!!

    I woke up to 6" of the white stuff this morning and had a little fun today. I did a little mobing down my street with the 17" on which didn't work too good. So after 30 mins I put on my studded snow tires, then I really had some fun cause I could build up speed! Did some sweet drifting in the parking lots and back road mobing.
    Well with very little ground clearance and 5"-8" on certain roads a lot of it got built up on my radiator, supension, axles, shift linkage, and exhaust piping. In fact there was about a good willbarrow load of snow collected on the underside and the weld broke on my glass pack and from the header back my exhaust fell off. There was snow in the pipe from it getting dragged and it was a wet bitch to weld and hang back on. I need to get the pics developed and I will try to get some of the video hook up for all to see. I will get more video and pics tomorrow and try to upload them soon.

    yah I heard you guys are getting hit with a butt load of snow up there. Sounds like fun. Wish I still had my old 4X4. I loved plowing past the 'turn around point' set up to keep people off of 199 from the tunnel to Cave Junction. There is nothing like being on a snowed over HW and being the only vechical that has been threw. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

    i got nothin. It was forecasted as one of the worst winters around here in 10 years, but yet i'm sitting here w/ my back door open, enjoying the warm temps. I did want snow though, i'm kinda disappointed.

    Yet another reason I left Green Bay (Damn UPers, )

    I got payback in the summer though. I'm walkin' around, enjoying the 86 deg weather and ppl are dropping like flies from heat strokes.

    ARGH, this is so not cool. I thought i'd be driving my accord by now, but NOOO, it had to snow and $hit so ihavent been able to go out and get the damn thing done.......oh well, my wagon is probably capable of handling the weather better then my accord so its probably a blessing in disguise.
