I had to shovel my driveway before, it really sucked because all this snow blew in the garage and went on my firebird.

Shoveling....LOL. I'm not even going to touch my driveway till saturday afternoon when I have time. Don't need to get into the garage cause the Camaro won't be out again for months.

It's funny, I was so pissed about the drive home that when I got to the house I just blasted into my driveway with my Bonneville and pretty much landed in the middle of a snow pile. I just left the car like that....looks like someone lost control in the road and landed in my driveway and just abandoned the car there. It's a heavy FWD car with good new tires, I'll get it unstuck easy enough.

What a great time of year. At least I'll get to break out the big 10hp snowthrower this weekend.

Snow is fun for donuts .... not that I was doing any or anything.... because that would be reckless...

But yea even with snow tires on and 100lbs of salt in the trunk it was still a bitch in the snow....

About 9-10 years ago I used to have an '83 full sized Dodge van as a winter beater. 318ci V8, with almost no weight over the rear end (cargo type van). Honestly, I'm suprised I didn't flip the thing doing donuts in one of the many snow filled parking lots I used to find. Then I replaced it with a '78 Caprice coupe, 305ci V8. Just as much fun in the snow as the van, but not top heavy...much safer for being reckless with, if that makes any sense.

I know what you're saying. I'm starting to think my 89 town car is almost as much fun to drive as my Camaro!
