I work up by Ames. I imagine ISU didn't cancel seeing as how they got very little snow compared to the DSM area. I had 9" with big drifts in Ankeny and I bet they got around 3" up there.

Went to the Van Halen show last night. It kicked ***, they played for more than 2 hours straight. Not bad for some old men!

It was a pretty killer show. A guy @ work saw them in Chicago too, he said last night was cool because DLR didn't talk for 10 minutes in between songs.

We made it back alive (barely). It took us almost 3 hours today to go from the twin cities to Albert Lea! It was a complete white out, bad wrecks everywhere, ton of cars in ditches and doing 360's behind us.
The concert was unbelievable, I had to go to church tonight for the things I witnessed last night at the concert

I almost piled us in to the rear of a multi car wreck, I was doing 20 & couldn't see very far past the front of the car. We sat parked on the interstate for 30-45 minutes. It sucked!!!! Worst long drive of my life...

Good to hear you guys made it back safely. Sounds like it was a real shitty drive back.

Anyway, it is getting closer to spring. March is getting closer and hopefully in a little over a month I can get the car back out. Might be sooner once Rodney gets his cam installed. Then it will be my car's turn . The cam came the other day, now I'm just waiting on springs and pushrods. Damn backorder **** anyway.

I ordered my back wheels the first week of December. I called on them a week ago and found out they didn't put the order in right and haven't even started on them! Now I get to wait another 6 weeks . Thanks TomZwheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks Scott. At least you can't drive the car now anyway. I wouldn't be happy at all though. I almost bought some wheels from them before Christmas. That money went towards all the winter mods .

yeah im not going to complain about a beautiful white 98 WS6 that still has a/c and ran 10.70 on a set of ET mickeys spinning the first 60' lol. 408 baby!!
here's a couple of vids. the first is it pulling the front tires at the 60' and the second is a idle walk around.
