I get to park my 'bird for the first time this Winter, and I have mixed emotions about it. I'm so used to driving it that I'm not sure how I'll handle parking it for an extended period of time. I want to keep it out of the elements yet I love driving it. We're due for our first signs of snow here in Indiana tonight.

lol, she doesn't like the white stuff That's why she's got her bitch (the GTP) to do the dirty work in this weather
Nittos (and skinnies) are only coming off cause the insurance will be off for 4 months starting December 1st ... no sense letting those tires flat spot
Amazing the difference ... ground is covered in snow now... prolly 1.5 inches on the picnic table out back... and still snowing

I didn't think we wre going to get hit very hard so I drove my TA into work, calling the weather man's bluff....boy was I wrong!! I started snowing at about 1pm and when I left work at 3:30pm there was about 3 to 4 inches covering the ground and the roads were pure ice!!! My car would slide sideways at a complete stop if there was a slight pitch on the road and at idle speeds I couldn't keep the tires from spinning. Longest 15 miles I have ever driven!! After it was all said and done we had a good 6 to 8 inches in about 5 to 6 hours!! Ahhh the joys of the north...lol
