Default My trip to hell

I posted in the lounge about my trip to Fargo, ND. If anybody has watched the weather than I am sure you know what I am stuck in. A f*cking blizzard.

I will update with pictures as the day goes on but now I have a few.

Oh yea, I forgot to add.

I am still not in Fargo. I am stuck in a daysinn in Watertown, SD.

I am only two hours away and the highways are closed.

Current temp is -5 and the wind chill is -35 with 30 mph winds.

I wish I was in Texas with your 75 degrees.

The car has all season tires but I am in a 04 acura TL. The car is setup for winter minus the tires. The latest temp is -8 with a wind chill of -39, and it is only going to get colder. Tomorrow's high is -8 with a low of -19.

I should be able to get back home on tuesday as long as the airport is open. All flights were cancelled today.

I like it now but only once the car is warmed up. When it is cold it is extremly raspy.

I am glad that I have 2 cases of beer in the hotel room for myself since it is only 5:30 and I won't be going anywhere for the night.

Hey Squeaky,

I missed it. What did you end up doing with the exhaust? Why is it raspy now?

I see. Do you wish you went with high flow cats instead? My high flow cats make my Nismo sound real nice.
