Motherfvcker.. It's snowing out..

Guess I'm going home (carefully) from work and putting my winters back on for another few weeks.. I'm re-working two of them anyhow and was planning to take them off for a day this weekend. But this is just plain bullshit..

I'm moving..

156's back on, pressured up. Front two rubber mats in. Picked up gf at commuter rail.. Meh.


I'm just going to wait a few more weeks.. You have that cargo helicopter booked for the meet?? Make sure it comes with snow pads instead of landing gear..

Actually its getting chilly here in DC as well. With that in mind, I'd be in Dallas, TX all weekend and a good part of next week. Hello...70s

Hahaha. I almost put the 162's back on a few days ago, but you really need to wait until mid-April here in the Northeast. Not-so-pretty 158's will stay on for another week or so.

nah, i've backed out of the meet because the guy in charge said that there's no place to land a helicopter any where near there.

Some people on this website have strange requests..

CAUTION: The first two are quite disturbing. Please do not look at on an empty stomache.

Thanks Josh

That's not snow, that's just a mild dusting. You'd been fine with the 161s and your x-drive

There was a lot more!! It was coming down for a while. But it turned to rain. So it reduced down a lot.

Our community put down all new mulch over the past few days too..

Highs in the low-mid 30's now thru early next week, possibly with some flurries here and there. Anything more and I'm calling Enterprise; I didn't intend on getting winter tires until next season. Just hoping the low temps aren't too bad for these tires.

You gotta love NE, if its not the freak snowstorms, its the rim-eating potholes. But either way, I put the summer shoes on today..

You guys are brave...we're supposed to get snow again on Thursday! Were any of you around when we got 3 ft of snow on April 14th? I think that was 6 or 7 years ago.

I'll wait until the last week in April to put my summers on.

Just to vent a bit...I'm TIRED of my car looking like crap! Enough with the cold weather. I NEED to detail!
