No snow yet.....

I'm going to take my car out tomorrow to go change the plugs at my buddies shop....after I change them, I'm gonna let it rip a few times to make sure all is well.....then gome home and put the cover on and bring it back out in 2 weeks....I refuse to drive the thing if there is even too much salt dust on the roads.....no filter on the blower......

The rain we had recently washed 90% of it away

Damn Kyle, you buy Wrangler jeans by the box load? Or was that box for one LARGE pair? hahaha

Your setup should have gone 10s as-is, no need for a turbo if my wee little magnacharger could do it.
