Supporting one self is kinda difficult in this ecconomy especialy with 2 kids. Iv been laid off for a year.

Warped tour is all punk no?

i think it started out that way, now its a mix of bands, but the band i want to see, simple plan, is a pop punk band. i had tickets to see them back in 2008 but they had to cancel the show due to an illness.

I have snow tires on the camaro, and I was driving around eatontown 2 days after the bilzzard...there was still 1-2 inches of slush on rt36. It was literally REDICULOUS. Looked like a war zone with abandoned cars on the highway.

Cars are fun but since mines parked 5 months I have a snowmobile, there is nothing like going 80+ floating on top of 2 feet of snow with a 3 cylinder 2 stroke screaming at 8200rpm.

Wow! Now thats a long winter. I bet that car stays really clean.
I usualy wait untill around the first snowfall to put the car away. I love driving it in the cool air.

Trouble like that is the result of bad equippment. They certainly aren't the best vehicle in the world for snow use, but there is no need to walk unless you want to.

Good snow tires (forget that all-season/winter "performance" crap, you need studless snow/ice tires for really good results), 100lbs of extra trunk weight and a full tank of gas has gotten me through several major snow storms, including deep unplowed areas and heavily packed/slushly roads/highways.
