I feel the same, except I still have a badly cracked rim, no rear brakes, and no rear-sway installed. So when I go out, it's pretty much babies. I'll put the pedal down from a rolling go and let the *** end fly around to get some 'jollies' lol That's about it till the rear setup is fixed and the new rims are one. Can't wait!

Snows over 10" here over the past 2 days, so that'll be awhile

I've been driving a 92~ Corolla and an 02 Protege. I think the Corolla has more umpf lol The Protege feels like drive-by-wire, but I looked and it's all cable from the pedal to the TB. It's just weird, anything past 1/2 throttle and it doesn't go any faster *shrug*

Its getting baaad for me.
I have been driving my 99 v6 bird (bought a month ago) but now I have the new 98 formula just sitting in the drive way waiting for me to get the plates... I sneak it out from time to time but I’m going to wait 2 more weeks before I start driving it daily. We have hit-and-miss snow right now. Usually if the snow does pile up its gone by the end of the day.

I'm in Savage, next to Burnsville. It wasn't 10" of packed, it was fluffy, but still 10". Then we got more yesterday, but only about an inch to 1-1/2. Was weird though since the day I took my car our for a spin, it was 45ºF! Then the next we get a crapload of snow -_- I miss going out powersliding around in the snow (Powersliding, NOT drifting, ricers queers).

Yea, if it all got compacted it may have been 4, but how it sat, it was an EASY 10".

Hell yeah, I just got the car out about 2 hours ago, took for a cruise and brought her home, Its gonna be nice tomorrow so I'm gonna drive it. Back into storage after that though, 2 more weeks of rain, no joke, tomorrow is the only dry day on the 10 day forecast and the last time it hasn't rained was early last week. It wont be till May that I can keep her out. No wipers suck.
