First Snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, we had our first snow during the night. It was only about 1/2 inch, but the kids had a 2 hour delay and they salted the roads. All I can do now is wait for spring. :seeya

Bluevette,
I sure do feel better after seeing all that snow and the cold temp. Its in the 30's here. I let my 16 year old see your picture so she will feel better about the cold spell we are having. Thanks. :seeya

Re: First Snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (lvrpool32)
Yeah its a nice car. Can you believe the guy even let me drive it! What was he thinking?! :lol:
Looking forward to an even colder morning tomorrow. The millenia's got FWD so it handles well in the snow. I'm more worried about snapping the cold belts when I first get in. Sometimes they scream so loud in the morning. I can't do donuts anymore. My motormounts are shot after 170,000 miles. I did them alot though before the mechanic told me they were on the verge of breaking.
Let me know about the manifold change, if you didn't do it already. What's this I see about nitrious?

Re: First Snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (THawkbh)
yeah you must have caught me on a good day letting you drive...then you drag race a policeman!!
Hmmm nitrous...the new intake gives me 3/4" clearence...and a nitrous plate is only 1/2" thick....so I got plentttyyyyyyy of room :-)
and as we will be buried in snow for three months now..all I can do is mess with the car and listen to trade rumours for the Yankees until Spring.

I didnt race him, I swear! If it was my car though, I would have burned him!! Now that would be quite a story to tell.
The whole idea of nitrous scares me. Speaking of nitrous, come springtime, were going to have to find out what the ET time is. :D

Re: First Snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (corvettemaster)
Hey corvette master, when did you get a second vette? I know youve had that '81 for a while now, but I dont recall you getting the '86. I remember I loved your site so much a few years back, its one of the reasons I became a 'vette guy! :cheers: to that!

Amazing, us down in Tennessee (northeast corner) got our first snow before someone in New York. All snow last Friday night and Saturday morning.
