Kinda sucks, took the T/A out for a drive a few minutes ago to play in the snow, and we got about an inch or 2 here, the side roads are somewhat slushy but the main, or even semi-main streets are clear as can be. Oh well...

Haha Mark, because of you I went looking for an electric heater so I could try messing with the front fenders in which, by the way, you did give me all the pieces. Came from Marysville to north Everett, then went home to south Everett by the mall.... lets just say my brakes lock up and my car likes to slide forward luckily I didn't hit anything but I got to use my TCS for the first time and now I know to take the main roads.

Yep. My car needed a tune and we made a few passes around the north end of Monroe. The funny thing is that it only had problems coming out of Ellis' driveway and into mine. The rest of the way it was just wet (but people still forgot how to drive).
