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.

Anyone want to guess when the snow will be gone & the streets are suitable to bring our stuff out???

I'm sick of hating the weather! I know we are going to have a wet spring too, it will probably rain every Friday & Saturday...

I bought some more goodies this week.

Looks like more snow/freezing rain **** on Sunday. I am guessing mid March before everything is gone. I am banking on 3-4 weeks and I will be able to drive my car again. Hopefully it is warm enough to rain in early March to help clear the snow out and clean the streets.

More snow coming
I drove my car around the block to finally see what my clutch would feel like. Looks like that will be that last time for awhile. This is ridiculous.

I love it...after midnight...

Snow. Blowing snow. Windy. Visibility one quarter mile or less at times. Snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches. Total snow accumulation 4 to 6 inches. High in the lower 30s. Temperature steady or slowly falling in the afternoon. Northwest wind 15 to 30 mph. Gusts up to 40 mph increasing to 50 mph in the afternoon. Chance of snow near 100 percent.

So there is a chance it might miss us

I took a quick pic today of my interior since the swap. It's almost done, still have the back rear hatch plastic to do.
