Man, I would never take my car out in that if I didn't absolutely have to. Here in Denver I haven't been able to get it out for 3 weeks now.

If I took my car out in that I'd have to completly detail the undercarraige. That's why mine won't go out in rain either. Just too much work cleaning the underside.

I remember trying to drive my supercharged 93 Z28 Indy 500 Pace Car home in the snow one year! I couldn't get going any faster than 15 mph! I drove most of the way up my road spinning the rear wheels and facing 45 degrees into the other lane. But I made it home and barely into my driveway where it stayed until the snow stopped and we shoveled out. But as bad as these cars are, my old 91 454SS pickup was just as bad since it had tons of torque and no weight over the rear(275/60/15 tires too).

Wow your crazy for taking your car out of that garage in that weather. I only drive my car in the snow because I don’t have a garage. So I figured its going to be in the snow ether way. But even still I only go to work and school that’s about it.

BTW sweet looking house!

Here's a couple of pictures I found. The first one is a storm from 2 years ago here in NJ and the 2nd one is from last year. We seem to get at least 1 snowstorm every year that is 15-25" of snow. This year has been incredibly mild so I'm not complaining. We don't have a snowblower and we shovel all the snow. It's a good workout in the middle of winter! And no, the Prelude is not my car, it's my brother's. I only had 1 Camaro at the time and it's in the garage along with my boat.

LOL....here in central texas it rained all day! It was about 50 degrees too. Actually, right now its pouring rain with thunder/lightning! I would guess that if it was cold enough here, there might have been a blizzard outside! Texas FTW!

wazzap dude,

Yeah got the LT's on about a month ago. I need to get it retuned soon though. It's running a little rich, I went to Santa Fe this weekend and used about a half tank back and forth (about 120+/- miles).
