Alright, who said the "S" word ???

Hey, it's December 1st and whattya know....
I just got my new "CODE 38" license plates and decided to go put them on real quick....at 3am
The first snow of the year is hear...
Here's my poor girl. I was gonna take her a blanket and cuddle with her, but it was tooo darn cold out there.
I guess I should pay more attention to those weather people on TV. I'm gonna try to get her inside by tomorrow.....

As you can see it is still snowing out.....

Well I guess I should have paid a lot more attention to those stoopid TV weather guys. It was 16 degrees out today....so much for all that snow melting....

all is well, just time to bust out the snowboard and get cracking on that season
Hahahahahaha......I'm smack dab in the middle of Illinois....I'd have to hook a rope to a car to go snowboarding...There isn't a hill for MILES !!!!!!!!!

Thanks.... You can see my '86 Monte Carlo SS sitting in front of the Z28. The SS is the parking lot donut car.... I just rebuilt the engine for that one and it's sitting in there, not hooked up. I better hurry up if I wanna play with it at all this winter.

i wouldnt be suprised if we have a foot or more in the morning, its not even midnight and we have 4 inches ontop of the 3 from two days ago. and were in a snow advisory untill 7 am

and for us to get a snow advisery, it means its gonna dump some snow. us in montana like the white stuff, its 20 minutes to tne nearest ski hill

and who needs snow to do donuts

[/B]lol...very true its just really fun and easy way to practice and not burn your tires off to bad. Also there is nothing like being in a huge empty parking lot going like 40 and pulling the e brake.[/B]

Wow you have an SS Monte too! You probably have trouble deciding which car to drive.

Hope you dont get to burried in with all that snow...I hope it doesnt come East lol...

Beautiful Red Z... I have a red Z as well... Email me if you want to swap pics. shawn18jgr@aol.com

i wish i could cover mine right now

i have to wait till i hear from the insurance adjuster
the cover freezes as soon as it gets snow on it, cause it holds heat and creates ice

its gonna be funny though cause hes got to look under the car since the rocker got screwed up and we have like 8 inches so far
or when they have to tow it to the shop for me

I work during the afternoon when it is the warmest. It has gotten above freezing a few times this week, but only while I am at work. It's 14 degrees out right now and the garage door is frozen to the ground. I can't wait until tuesday when I have a day off and I can get her inside....Poor girl has got to be freezing...

what does "code 38" reffernce. it's not an ECM trouble code (at least not for v8s in 1986, my only shop manual) and, just to brag, we west coast guys are lucky. they gravel the roads here instead of salt.

There's about 8-10" of snow on the eastern end of the U.P. right now, already put 40miles on the snowmobile. Can't wait for christmas break off of school, get the car back inside and do some work on it.
