Have fun! Drive Safe!!
Send some of that down this way!!
Lucky you, just about everywhere else in Scotland seems to have snow right now but here! Rain, rain and more blooming rain... :(
A
Bart,
look what snow does to all that black!
Do you feel like you're driving an Ironman now?
I love it. I think I am the only one in my neighborhood who DIDN'T shovel their driveway! There is like a 2 foot drift on my driveway and at least 15" of powder up by where I live. I just got to work. The VX performed outstanding. No slipping today at all. I think that last snow we got had a giant sheet of ice under it, contributing to the extra slick roads. But today, I was blasting past all sorts of squeamish people!
I have some video too. I will try to get a few donuts in on my lunch break...

Amen to that!!! :jump: Do you or CrnCnn ski or board? I've been hoping for some snow since forever, and lucky me, I have all week off and a free unlimited pass to Squaw Valley :cool!:Quote:

I would bring a pad of some kind for falling on your @$$ because if you've never boarded, then that's what you'll be doing most of the day. Also, I know it sounds like B.S., but don't be afraid to go on the steeper slopes. I'm totally serious about this. You wouldn't think so, but because of the greater angle, the distance you fall to the ground is less, and it is a lot better to fall with momentum, than to fall from a dead stop. Also, going on something steep enough to keep you moving helps you stay up. Think of it like riding a bike. It's a lot harder to stay up while not moving. Good luck, I hope you like it!!
I dont like the snow. I grew up in Tucson and cant wait to go back and thaw out.
I would be so upset,to wake up, and see that in my backyard. All my plants would be dead :eek: :eek: :( :mad: . I would however, love to drive in snow again, for like, a day. Clean mud!!!!
No way man! That 115 in the shade is for the rattlers, not me! Of all the places I have been in the US, I think Reno has some of the nicest weather, for me anyhow...

The ball joints could be considered a wear part but not the adjuster sleeve.Quote:

Was just out in Reno/Lake Tahoe for Skiing. What Skiing, no snow. Temperatures in the 70's Now that I am back in warm and sunny Florida, you get the snow. Send some my way because I missed it this year.
