SNOWSTORM Hit Chi-town
Valky, when you get done shoveling 28" of snow off you roof, we'll talk. At lease it gave santa a good place to land the sleigh even though all he brought this year was a toothbrush and wire crimper. I tell ya, that guy had a close watch on me though... Little blue strip on the brissels was gone Christmas morning and my crimper crimped it's last crimp while wiring up the snowmobile trailer yesterday afternoon.
I've been wondering how you were making out Rudy....and yes, its snowmobile country for sure this year. You and Gary and Rob can keep it up there this year. We have only had a dusting last couple of snows.
A few more from this afternoon

I really feel for you guys. When I went home (Munds Park Arizona) on 12/18/09, we had already had 1 snow fall of 22" and another 12" while I was there. That's at least 34" during the month of December. Of course, I spent most of my time in Phoenix, where snowfall was "0".Crossfire clean, dry and warm in my heated garage.

Two feet of snow on my deck. Cleaned the driveway twice with snowblower and seven times with snow shovel. I was hoping for nicer weather this week as I was tempted to take my Crossfire out of the garage for a road trip to Chicago. Scratch that idea. Thanks for the weather forecast and warning.
Don't be a pus pus, drive the thing, it's a decent winter car, heck if I can get by on summer tires I'm sure anyone can get by with a bit of skillful driving too. Plows were slow the other week after the snow and it was so "bad" that I was actually pushing snow out of the way with the front lip.










Right on Kit Fox! I drive mine in the snow as well, and on more than one occasion have plowed snow with the front bumper.
Momentum is your friend in the snow with these cars.
