Snowing and drifting here in Lafayette. Saw a Ford F-250 and a 1500 Ram, both 4x4 get stuck in the same drift that I made it through in my Grand Cherokee. Then a 3/4 Duramax came and rescued both of them.

I had a blast smashing through the drifts in my truck this morning. I'm originally from Maine so it brought back some memories. Good times.

I'm driving my 95 Cherokee, which I just lifted 3 inches out of boredom:

I don't like to keep anything stock. Now I need to throw on some 31 inch tires.

Only took me two hours to get home tonight. I'm shocked. Usually it takes 3+ hours in this sort of ****. I think a lot of people just stayed home today so traffic isn't what it would usually be.

Just a few pics from this morning, im going to get some of the fire we had last night. Quite intresting pulling out of the station and seeing the glow of a house fire in the snow from the station, that was ******* awsome.

My 05 yukon xl got STUCK in our driveway in 4hi, dropped that bitch in 4lo, serious buisness. 2-3 feet in our yard, almost 3 1/2 in the driveway.






hi mom! lol

We got 11" here in Indy. My 99 silverado 4x4 has got 31" Goodyear all terrains on it. No problems here. And the car is on it's way to getting the H/C finished up. So I'm not worried.
A buddy and I also went skiing at Paoli Peaks last Friday. It was a blast.

Saw a sad sight yesterday.On route50,turning towards Governers State U., a Sunset Orange Metalic T/A WS6 so dirty I could hardly make out the color.Must be his only ride also!
A few minutes before that on Rt50,a White Camaro SS caught my attention..........well actually it was the lights on the Police car I saw first.The Camaro looked fast and the cop may have confirmed that!LOL
I guess yesterday was not a good day for f-bodys on 50!

Saw a white WS6 on rt132/Grand Ave in Gurnee the other day, then I got a little closer and realized that it was actually black. It was so covered in salt that from ~300 feet away I actually thought it was white.
