Default Evil Mr. Winter came to NOVA/DC/MD/VA area, Poor Gxp has been abandoned...

Hey all,

Well Winter finally decided to come here in the NOVA area of VA,DC,MD.

Im sure you all have heard about it on the news and what not, but I thought I'd share some photos of my poor GXP abandoned, here in my town.

On my way home from(DC) work last night late, it had been snowing already for hours, and well I live in Occoquan VA, on top of a hill in a condo community. I tried to make it up the hill about 1/8 mile up a curvy road. Not a chance in hell. So, I had to back down it almost put her in the ditch a few times and finally frustrated, I parked her on the street on Main St, at the bottom of the hill basically. Met with the Mayor because he was out and about (pop 750 max) and he said just park her there. I swallowed my pride and walked home after I geared up in my military cold weather gear I keep in my car.

Also thats my GT buried as well in the photos I didn't move her yesterday and my GXP should be parked right next to the GT.

Enjoy the photos.....






Oh an thats my X-mas Tree!!

Greg

Even if you did, you would still be detailing your car and it would be cleaner than mine......

Like 18+ in areas...

Finally dug out both cars and had to lower the TP on the GXP to 25psi in the front to get her up the hill to my house.


FUN FUN!!

Not bad. .. .I wish my winters were that light. . . .I think we got that much snow last week. . . I think the difference is that they don't know how to deal with the snow out there as they don't have the needed equipment. Better hope my storm this week isn't coming your way.
