That would not even constitute a "dusting" here in the mountains of So. Cal! Yeah, i'm very jealous. Let me know if you want to swap homes for a year or two or three.

Looks familiar.. This was from the last snow we had last month.



She was in the garage for the snow storm yesterday, so the Z28 got covered.

I have a 2500hd that works a bit better. Then when I want to play, I have a old audi that is a blast to drive sideways. Yea my wife doesn't ride with me on snow days

I got the ok to run my Vette ice racing for a few laps for fun, but they don't make 18 inch studded ice racing tires. I added up the cost of using 1/4 bolts for studs, I figured about 200 dollars a tire plus 10 hours. Plus if I went 'off' it wouldn't be cheap to fix the ACP splitter and fenders So the vette only gets love about 4-5 weekends a year

Here is what we do for fun up this way. Mark (in car) is damn fast.


Randy
PS Leighton Reese still hold the record of barrel rolls for the club. Hopefully no body breaks it. He said that he caught a snow bank and next thing the doors were flying off and he was taking hits....

That is way too funny. The best truck story that I have is 5 full size guys in winter gear and my dog. So you are thinking what is the big deal, well it was a S10 standard cab I didn't have to shift or push on the gas pedal. Good thing it was about a 20 mile drive down a dirt road.
