Damn Riley, you make me sick. Here I have residential and commercial accounts for snow removal, and signed a contract with the state of IA. last fall for emergency removal help...we did'nt get a damn thing up here. UGH!! Oh well, I don't miss trudging around in the snow for work.

Nice snow pics, I'd show some of mine but the GTAs in storage I'd be carefull even in that amount of snow though. Performance tires + snow does not equal fun.

They look so lonely....

Were getting an icestorm here, but my car doesn't matter, my motor is in the shed so, what would you rather have in the garage, a new motor, or an old car?

I snowed here in Carbondale today too. We got like 5 inches, I needed to go to the bookstore, but my car thought otherwise. I forgot my ice scrapper and brush so I have nothing to wipe all that snow off with.


This is a pic of my car in my driveway back home in Urbana, IL. I didn't drive it for 2 days after that. I did take it out for a little bit to keep the car from completly freezing. Drifting in slow motion was kind of fun.

I live in minnesota, and we dont have a drop of snow on the ground, lets thank el ninio (sp?). Through it doesnt really matter becasue the car is still in storage any way.

snow in tn!! ahhh!

it snowed down here in TN all day long, yesterday. that's really rare and everybody was freakin' out about it. school was letting out and people were going home from work... that was kinda nice. but i can't really say i'm a fan of snow. a friend of mine called me and asked me to drive to his house... i know better than that. i told him to get his front-wheel driver ***** over to my place and pick me up b/c i wasn't about to risk destroying my car. he actaully came and got me. although, i did see another third gen owner here at school pulling a few drifts out in the parking lot. i went and looked at his car after he was done... he's got a lot of cleaning to do now. now i'm just watching the snow melt off my car... and i can't wait!

i know this was kinda pointless... but i'm bored outta my mind! i can't go driving!

I know. I used to have garage space, but now there is just too much junk in the garage for 2 cars.( went from a huge house to a town house) Now only one car fits in there and it had to be my moms. So now I just brush the snow off my car and wait 15-20 minutes for the heat to come out of the vents.
