I wouldn't put more than a 100#'s in the rear.

I haven't seen our forcast, but i'm shure it's not going to be good, especially if the old lake effect machine kicks on

I always did 60-70 lb bags of sand from Menards, $3 each. I did two of them in my old 92 Mustang GT T5.

No snow here in 60610.

wow finally someone else who's stuck driving there baby in the winter, here i thought i was the only one. I had a neon last winter and a corsica before that but now my bro's home and since it's his neon he gets to drive it...damnit. Hopefully i'll be able to find another beater, haven't been able to yet, but better late than never..

I can't believe Chicago is going to get hammered, and we're not expected to get more than an 1" here in Central Indiana. Yesterday it was 3-4" of snow, and today it's around an 1". I think I'll just look out my front window and do my own personal forecast in the morning when I get up for work.
