You get any of this in SL?
Nope! St Louis Gt a dusting to one inch. Just enough to put the Escelade fools in the ditch. I keep trying to tell them that four wheel drive only lets you go forward faster. We all have the same four wheel stop.

I can relate to your snow blade story. We bought my father a Sears snow machine back in '92. It didn''t snow for several winters after that. Yet he kept the thing tuned up and ready. Everytime we turned the key, it fired up.

When it finally did snow the damm thing wouldn't start. So I shoveled.

The next fall he took it to the shop and they fixed it for a ton of money. That following winter, same issue. It refused to run in snow. He won't let me replace it. "Darn thing, never ran, it's like brand new. How can you just throw it away." OK Pa I'll shovel today and next week you get the small engine repair guy to come make it run. He does and we are ready till it snows.

This has been going on for years. In that time I have learned two valuable lessons.
1) inantimate objects do not feel pain.
2) Stubborn old men must enjoy watching their youngsters suffer.

Last week I bought a new Troybilt for the company parking lot. Well officially that's the story I'm tellin' Dad.
