When I had the '05, I drove that in the snow without too much trouble, until I wrecked it on a patch of blowing snow. The car went off the road and over a hill before it came to rest near a new basement foundation for a house. I got rid of the car after it was fixed.

The '06 I'm not driving at all this winter, it's sitting in the garage covered up. I'm driving a '97 Escort for the time being.

I was just outside clearing the Escort off so that the guy clearing the driveway with the bobcat wouldn't hit it. It's nasty out there. The village plow hasn't been by at all, so even if I tried to get out of the driveway, I'd possibly get stuck in the street.

Don't tease us Scottie!!! Mostly cloudy and 34 degrees at this point. And with a 3 1/2 drive I would be tickled with that!!

Guys- little bit of bad news...... Brenspeed got hit by the rain as much as anyone, and they had some water enter the building. I don't know the specifics but I know they spent most of today trying to clean up...... hopefully they can get back on track this week.

I can see that happening to them. With the ground frozen and all the rain we had, plus they are kind of down in a hole there. Hopefully no long term damage!!

What you mean their powded concrete parking lot didn't dam up all the water.

Have a 8 hr meeting this morning than back to work for a 8 hr shift. On the way from the meeting (Prime rib for lunch) back to work I had to come down a hill by the old Studebaker proving grounds and It was starting to snow wet, heavy, slob globs. Lady pass me (F-150 4x4) in a Toyota and after passing me she decided to become a stunt driver. Several 360's , a couple of 180's and finally she decided to jump the ditch and shorten her car by a foot as she backed into a Brick piller. Try to stop but I didn't want to do the same. several drivers behind me got stopped to help her so I just came on to work.
