    If I were Alex I would turn around, go home or stop somewhere and get me a plane ticket. I use to live in that crap every winter in north Tennessee and it didn't take long for me to hate it. Hope he makes it ok. From the guys at 205 Rim Shop in Alabama. BOBBY FORD
     
  4. Snowed over two feet here the other night. Since I drive the dealership plow truck in the winter its my job to clear the lots. Been some late nights and early mornings around here.....

    Snowing here too. But then again it is Detroit..

    With new snow fall I HAD to do some donuts in the parking lot when I left work.. Oddly enough security didnt like it very much..

    Who doesnt like donuts?

  20. Driving in snow is the best practice there is for driving at Bonneville (other than Bonneville).

    The beauty of living in Texas is that I never have to shovel sunshine out of my driveway so I can go to work.
    Of course that is easy to say now, however, it is a real bitch in the summertime when the highs are over 100 degrees for weeks at a time and the lows are in the 90s.
