Default Its Snowing....

So you all may call me crazy, and trust me i dont like watching this...However, since I just graduated college a few weeks ago and am home looking for a job, mom refuses to give me her garage space and dads c6 has the other garage... She looks so cold...



I did a search on how to post pics and came up with nothing...it is way to confusing... sorry you have to click on the link.

Snow sucks!!

I wanted to take my car to the body shop to get the Tiger Shark nose, side skirts and ACS spoiler done. Saturday, I'm going to try to get down to Ed Hutchings in Chesapeake, VA to do Yella Terra rockers, ported intake, a little tuning and some dyno pulls.

Someone once said "You know you're old when snow stops being fun."

CA people are so.........................warm! I think we are over 50" so far this year with more due tonight.

Hey MAITES,

Your almost there in posting pictures. You already have them on Photobucket. Choose your picture and click on "direct link" and it will flash "copied". Then go to your reply window and click on the insert image icon and just paste in the box. Try it out, you'll get the hang of it. Don't feel bad about the snow, it melts in short order!

They were calling for snow/ice here in Raleigh NC this morning, but it turned to rain before any ill-effect was noticed. But it's supposed to be really cold this weekend, down around 13 or 14 on Sunday night. Man, that's colder than a mother-in-law's hug! Brrrrr!

Yea, I woke up this morning and decided to lay some wax on the Vette. Looked out the window and saw this:



Not a lot of snow but enough to make me go back to bed. I guess I'll head on out to the garage now.
