SELLING IT?! Boyce.....sigh, you gotta do what you gotta do. From my recent experience, you would probably have to sell it off in pieces to get any kind of money for it. Or put it back together so it runs. Most people wouldn't want it as is. Those go-fast parts WILL sell, and someone that wants to build a road race car might want the stripped car. But the entire pile will be tough to move IMO.....good luck sir!

Well on the subject of snow, if you grew up here and think you know how to drive in it.
Do me a favor stay home!

We got a bunch snow here then it started to melt last night and now it is snowing agian.
They sure do make a big deal of it here in Washington.


Boyce good luck to, if you do sell, I hope you get the money out it that you do need.

Mike I hear you. I grew up on the OTHER side of that moutain. I took my drivers test on Compact snow and ice I have crossed closed passes in a lowered Z28 pushing snow the whole way.

To see the way some of these people are driving scares the hell out of me. Scares Steph to death when we are driving in it but i always get where we are going

Boyce year car was well under the car port and in much better shape then the trailer behins it the car was going to be on. Yesterday would have been the perfect day to move it. Now we have 6-8 inches of snow on the ground and you do not haul around here in snow like that. I never did hear from you yesterday on moving it? Now we have to wait for the snow to clear some. I see you called last night? I was working customer stuff till 3am then went to bed.

As you can see here the trailer is not going any where untill the snow is gone. Not that I could not get it done but there are to many idiots playing in it to try.



Just think it could be worse. Mark could be standing over you like this. . .

You can see in this picture that my car really is under the carport. I didn't think it would get that much snow under there...but I guess when the wind blows the snow goes where it wants to go....

It's snowing big flakes right now...but seems to be warming up a little..



In this pic, you can't even tell where the driveway ends and the bricks and steps begin...



Here's a pic up by the road...you can tell the road is starting to get slushy...

We have snow like that on the Kitsap Pennisula. It had the Caddy out, no problems.
Some people don't understand momentum to get up a hill.

We got about 6-7" here... it's starting to melt off now.

I woke up about 4am this morning and the power was out.... it kept coming on for a couple minutes and then shutting off.... kept doing that for about 8 hours, then finally came on and stayed on. I ended up having to build a fire to get some warmth in the house, it was about 50 degrees indoors.

I talked to the power company, and I guess the weight of the melting snow kept breaking branches off trees and they were falling on the power lines.

Gave me a good excuse to sit here and work on my drum lessons for about 3 hours.. LOL

Oh yeah I forgot,,,,

Don't forget to bring Rudolf the Red WS6...

You can probibly mount some antlers on the front somehow, and it will look good. I think the kids might like that. My wife I know will get a kick out of it. She is pretty much like a child too. Who knows she may want to sit on your lap... (no pun intended).

Lmao, to many Coors lights... Sorry.
