I just had about that much snow out here in Jersey... I parked my car on the street, not a good idea! There was about 1 foot of snow all around, but then the snow plows added an extra foot to one side. It took me 2 hours alone just to dig her out...
But now she's free from all that snow. __________________ RIP

It was fun driving on Saturday. We only had maybe 4 inches at the time but the highway wasn't cleared yet. With my snows I didn't have too rough of a time. I did have to go slow. I was able to pass plenty of SUVs but going up hills I was at a 15 degree angle spinning my wheels. Gotta love people in pickup trucks passing while I'm sideways. __________________ ...steven

hey... I went sideways spinning wheels last sat. night when I decided to go to the local street races... didn't raced anyone, but there was a HUGE parkinglot... and I killed 1/2 the life on my tires!! That was fun!
but back to the snow.... man... it is fun... driving on it an stuff... but, like mud all over... and the salt... and scrapping the windshield... and your hands burnin on the steering wheel cause is too cold... and waiting for the car to finally blow some hot air in the cabin... That i don't miss..... although i would love to go sking.. | | | | | 01-24-2005, 05:08 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Speaking of hot air
Since installing a cold air intake, my water temp never gets to the middle when the heat is on. If I run no heat, needle goes to the middle. I guess the additional cold air getting sucked in is keeping the water temp lower than if I had a enclosed airbox. __________________ ...steven
