This seems like a good plan. The TV and the Interwebz keep saying blizzard.

SLCGoonski · 11-23-2010, 09:33 AM

Been a while since I've been in a real blizzard. Last year Christmas...3 days snowed into my parents house in ND...blew snow 4 times...good times.

babino · 11-23-2010, 09:57 AM

Thanks all. It's definitely a dream come true. There are a lot of nice cars in this group here, just happy to be a part of it

Park2670 · 11-23-2010, 02:59 PM

Anybody getting this blizzard yet?

usu335i · 11-23-2010, 05:38 PM

It's crazy up here in Logan!

Blizzard is ON up here in SLC!

Also Duke Dynamics Just sent this out (quad diffuser for my quad exhaust) (see attached pic for both):

Das M · 11-23-2010, 06:41 PM

White out here on base.

Park2670 · 11-23-2010, 07:13 PM

Just windy here.

Ditto.... Xi + Blizzaks = WIN!!

SLCGoonski · 11-23-2010, 09:16 PM

MDX is also a win in this weather. Not even that bad out right now...but the roads are a little slick. Will be interesting to see what tomorrow morning looks like. My shovel is all warmed up from last Sunday morning.

So that's two wins for me.

Park2670 · 11-23-2010, 11:20 PM

So this is the pictures from tonight. I didnt know if it was snowing yet, so I opened the blinds. Then I had to take my first voyage out in the 330 with my snows. I have said this before, and I will say it again... SNOW TIRES FTW!!!

SLCGoonski · 11-24-2010, 08:41 AM

About 3 inches of snow shoveled this morning. Cold though.

True, True.

However, I'm really stuck on the old E36.

I was thinking of this:

My current car for the road course.
A nice Auto M3 Sedan with TTS1 kit turned down to 6psi for daily/kid duties.
A BAD A 900whp drag machine based on a crappy 328 and franken-motor build(2.8L with S52 crank and cams).

These cars are so simple...and I know how to fix everything on them. It's a good feeling.

After watching the expendables, though, I think my next project will be a blown classic Ford truck.

I've driven (I mean really DRIVEN) a friends 430.
I've owned an E46 M3.
I've driven an E90 M3.
I've driven a lot of cars...and I still come back to my 'old' 99 M3 and it's the only thing with four wheels that makes me spontaneously giggle.

Maybe it's the fact I built it, I don't know.

I'm sure 400ft/lbs of torque at 3200 RPM has something to do with it.

The Park-Man has always been the consummate collector.

I should just go to town on my e90. $3-4k would probably get me there...at 1500 RPM.

TurboFan · 11-24-2010, 03:19 PM

The X5 w/ blizzaks is a snow ferrari!!

SLCGoonski · 11-24-2010, 08:53 PM

Damn it was cold today...windshield washer nozzles were froze (I hope). Plenty of fluid, but tough seeing anything on the interstate today with a super dirty windscreen. This beast may need a wash...
