I love it. Good work Vince! This is probably the only time I think Takata green looks good on a streetcar.

Even with the snow tires on, I decided to leave the car in the garage today. We got about a foot here, and it was coming down hard almost all day. It's really light atm.

Instead, I hiked about 2.5miles each way to a local park with a decent hill. Built a baby kicker and hit that for awhile. Brought some portable speakers that I plugged into the iPod, so I had some beats too

Vince your car looks sick!

BTW I tried (emphasis on tried) to go to work this morning. The Jeep is out of commision cause i backed up into something in Whistler and i think my 02 censor is going nuts too. Anyway my mom has an LR Freelander, great vehicle in the snow. Then i realize that it WAS a great vehicle in the snow back when it had good tires. Way to go mom. Drove down my hill, slid for a good 10 feet. Decided fu(|< it i'll just go back home. Parked it on the side of a small hill next to a curb and was fine. Well, good luck with that. Walked back home, got my snow gear on. Came back to the car, there were 5 accidents around the car, car didn't even get hit. The was a DOT truck that came by to block off the road, that thing slid down the bottom of the hill and took out another truck.

So, if you didn't want to read my morning story, the moral is...Bellevue Drivers FTL.

Props for driving your car in this weather but I would be worried about the other retards out there trying to drive with the 2wd car that they have.

My jeep haven't any problems and I'm always laughing at the people stranded on the side thinking they can drive in this weather without a 4wd.

^no one else were on the road, so i wasn't worrying too much.

nice pic, ernie. i like the composition on the tonemapped pic, but it's a bit overdone. maybe go for 40-60% strength, and 60-80% saturation?

that hill looks so amazing, too bad it's a bit crowded
