Default let it snow!

I hope we get some more snow this year. had a blast last night in a nice untouched lot with no obstacles. first time driving awd in the snow - I thought my summer tires would make it difficult, but it was hardly a hindrance.

I saw a couple of Z's out in Mukilteo last night - a 370z getting off of the speedway, and a silver Z that was mobbing around with some VW's looking for parking lots.. :]

OP, g;ad you had some fun on the slippery stuff and had no incidents. I thought you had plenty of snow out your way, is this a weird weather year, or is this the norm??

we typically have a handful of snow days each winter up here. not a lot at all!

pshop - I have AWD. it doesn't change the fact that my tire compound hardens up and doesn't grip for poop, but it lets me scoot around in the snow still.

fun *** lot. it's an empty area meant for a couple dozen shipping trucks, with no obstacles or light posts or anything to hit, just a big wide open area that is gated off. untouched snow! :]

haulin.. I hear you.. I can't stand all the gravel and **** they drop for such a minimal amount of snow and ice. total over reaction and now we have to deal with that $hit for weeks =[

Asen helped me install my invidia Q300 cat back exhaust .. it sounds phenomenal. not terribly loud, but it has that signature deep rumble.

sometime beyond the 15th I'll be driving down to portland to hit up surgeline / cobb tuning. going to get a cobb sf intake, catted down pipe, access port and a pro tune. very excited! that will be the last of my powder adding mods, I don't want to risk pushing it harder, I'm hoping to hit around 300awhp/330awtq, should make for a fun car!

dunno what's after that - I really want some VS-XX's but that will take forever to save up for D:

I think we are finally seeing the effects of global warming. Later seasons. I think we have a solid month or two of skiing season left.

I ran to the store after having no snow fall all Thursday. Came out 10 minutes later to an inch and a half. KDW's+no LSD = very slow drive home
