BTW, my personal phone crapped out on me a few days ago. Don't bother trying to call or text. I'll be ordering a new one soon.

Looks like the 3rd blizzard we had last year here.....temps in the mid teens when it was snowing....wind 40-50mph...20-25" of snow. Crappy part here was that we had just gotten 30" of snow 3 days before. Nothing like a 50" snowpack blowing around with a fury.

Ahhh memories....you can kind of see the top 3" of the wipers on my DD in this pic. The tree behind is a bit over 8' tall. This was the last of the big storms....but the 3rd of the week (65" in 7 days ). It was nuts....

That's crazy! Almost reminds me of the President's Day weekend snow storm that hit DC back in 02 or 03. I'm sure this storm shut down the govt for a while. I know it did.

Travis, I got an Amazon store card and bought a 42" LCD from Panasonic. My first flatscreen TV!

Thanks, Janis. I'm ready for a vacation now.

I have had my evo now a few months. Maybe the novelty hasn't worn off yet, but I hesitate to say I prefer it to my Z. My Z is more comfortable, smoother, has a bit more power, doesn't rattle, but the evo is so capable. So much more a driver's car. Sure it squeaks and rattles and the exhaust is too loud, but what a fun way to run into town and back for some milk.

Those AWD rally cars are a hoot. My sisters fiance has an 04 STi with around 350awhp (no 500horse beast) but it is a hoot to drive. Very useable power and fun when you step into it. Grip is unbelievable to.

I can definitely see why you like it, Aaron.

so you know something may very well be superior, but because you are stubborn, you avoid it? What if your boss brings home a stacked 10 and says, let's all hit the bedroom.... Dave says, sorry, no thanks -> I'm stubborn like that

just wanted to post up a good deal I got this morning. Had a few presents to buy for some family and friends. Been watching autogeek's 12 days of christmas and BOGO offers. They had Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax on buy one get one which is a good deal on its own.... then I check for their 12 days of christmas free gift -> Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax. I had bought some earlier in the yr. best product I have ever used on my cars. I know i am not known for my detailing or having the cleanest cars all the time, but I had my Z spotless, clayed, and 3 step corrected one time this yr .

Long story short, I have two souveran 8 oz'ers and a 3 oz mini fuzion for 95 bucks.... and yes I realize it's only car wax. Kind of like saying a lancer evolution is only a grocery getter
