Gorgeous picts.

I had to park my car at the bottom of my hill. No way I was going to make it up.

I actually hit 70 miles per hour on 520 east bound tonight. As soon as I hit 405 it became a parking lot though. It was not fun doing 180* spins in the T/A either. I really thought I could make it home before it got too bad tonight but I let my heart get the better part of me and drove a guy home from work. It never pays to be nice.

And just an update on the hill: there are signs missing where cars lost control and plowed into them. I guess I won't be able to catch the bus in front of my house tomorrow morning.

I was going to Redmond from 148th ave, then I (retard) changed my mind and decided to take 520 east at 40th st., as soon as I got on the ramp I had no traction, slided down for a while , after passing by a SUV( flipped on the side of the road, I would have helped if I could stop ) with no traction, it took me 15 mins to get to next exit : )) Fortunately nothing happened, taking the bus tomorrow...

No snow here. We had ice. Yesterday on my way home from my parents place I saw 3 accidents within maybe 15-20 miles. Almost everyone was going 30-40 on the interstate. Pretty shitty here (well not where I live but 20 miles south it is.)

Im glad I didnt buy the Z28 I was thinking about. It would have ben a pain driving that thing home.

Thank you and thanks Ellis. I forgot to check the box for the 4x4 option on my TA........see what happens when you live in LA-LA land too long?

Soon as the weather begins cooperating, I will reschedule with him.......I just felt bad cuz I forgot to fire off an email to him cuz I got caught up in a bunch of other crap (packing/moving/iced over yard with crazy rottie up/etc).

My cat wants nothing to do with outside right now. He has not gone out for two days and I am about to throw him out just so he does not explode.

I agree, today is the first day I went in. I had some Michelin MXX3's siped and mounted on my 16" stockers for the rear end. They are marginally better than the Nitto DR's I had. Which worked suprisingly well.

350+hp at the rear wheels and a vigilante 3500 stall makes it interesting on the slick as snot snow covered ice.
