Holy christ, you should see how i'm parked in my driveway, took me 20 min to get it 3/4 of the way up then slid down to about 1/2 way. It looks like a retarded kid with downs parked it.

**** is BAD. i took it as a good opportunity to take my F7 out and do some wheelies down the sidewalk though
unfolded the trailer and loaded it up on there and put it all back in the garage. was waiting for some ice and/or snow to get it on the trailer without tearing up my driveway with the track studs. the wife was like honey we bought this house 3 months ago and you are doing wheelies on the sidewalk the first time some snow and ice come. yup

This is why I'm glad I bought my truck. I do agree, this crap does suck though. Every winter, I consider moving somewhere warm to avoid this weather. Be safe people! Tis the season for crazy soccer moms and their wrecking ball H2s.

Great fella's, I drive trucks primarily Midwest and North east out of Houston Tx. It's a freezing 72 degrees but I'm due to go to either Chicago or Ct where it's like a freezing Hell. Oh well I'm just enjoying it down here for now until Monday. Y'all be careful.

Wasn't too bad this morning. Freezing rain for several hours last night but switched to rain earlier. By the time I left at 9 the roads were just wet. The top of the parking deck where I was parked was still somewhat slippery so I gave my ABS a test run lol. Yup they work, and so does that stupid "low trac" light
