Can't let this thread die...not with more snow coming. It'll lay down on the ice to make driving fun again for a few days.

If he is driving it it's because he's jealous.

I was home last weekend- Saturday was a blast- snow coming down, highways were real slick- followed a fire truck on the freeway at about 30mph, tailend of my pickup started to pass the front- caught it, got straight, it came out again and went right on by. Didn't touch anything, just pushed the little button marked 4x4, and drove away. What a hoot. If the road had been flat instead of having that little bank in it.

And today it's 50* here. And ya'll are in the freezer again..

How the heck is it 50 degrees there? That's almost a 40 degree difference from where I am.

CyberCowboy is his name.


Randommj, I grew up there, back when there were two public high schools in town (late 70s/early80s).

Here's a hint, this isn't texting, or IMing your friends on MySpace, spell out your words properly and fully so us old farts can tell what you're saying.

I don't know, I have never messed with that.

The looms are not necessary but they help a lot and clean up the look of your engine bay.

Oh yeah. Lots of smoke and a burned up wire. Maybe even a shorted ignition system.
