Same here! Even though she's up on jack stands, it's so nice to feel how smooth the surface is under the cover.

Hey ya'll, j/k

I will be driving up to fargo tomorrow from dallas. How bad are the roads going to be?

I will be in a 04 acura TL. I have driven in snow before but that was a couple years ago when i lived in Baxter.

Thanks,

you do know it's bad for your suspension when you keep your car up on jack stands when your storing it, it stresses out the components in the suspension, not good.

You should be fine in a TL. Roads aren't bad if you drive safely and don't make sudden lane changes.

X2, always take the wheels off if storing for a period of time on stands.

Friday isn't supposed to be bad, but saturday and sunday we're supposed to have "blizzard like conditions" which means we're gonna get ****-pounded with snow. Time to get out the 'ole polaris!

Just be careful on the overpasses and stuff, no matter how clear the roads are, the bridges always seem to stay icy as hell.

I was talking to my family this morning and they said it is supposed to be bad on Sunday. I was also told that my flight will be canceled out of Fargo if it does get really bad.

Oh well, I really don't want to go to work on Monday, I will stay up north and play in the snow.
