That's in Littleton? what fun!

[STIBungy]

Hehehe, looks like fun. I'd take the suby out to play but I have a really bad header leak.

we drove to Littleton tonite (C-470 and Wadsworth) tonite and saw one accident on the way (this trailblazer lost control and hit the guardrail on I-70 which was scary because I thought I was going to hit them) the snow was way shitty to drive in this evening... I was slipping around even in the CR-V.

The snow was real shitty this afternoon trying to get to Denver. I saw about 3 roll over accidents plus many more other accidents. I got to about monument and decided it wasn't worth it and turned around.

I went out and played late too and took some nite pics that I will post later.

My rims got packed with snow on my Jetta, around 50 mph the car turned into a giant massaging seat :)

[STIBungy]

Same with my Talon. :rofl:

Kind of an off-topic question, how much does that year of 4Runner go for now-a-days with fair mileage on it? I'm thinking of getting rid of the Talon for a 4Runner.

[V8SpankR]

Keep the Talon for summer,I regret selling my Eclipse since it was paid off.

I recommend the '99+ which I recommend due to it's very worthy mid gen ergonomic upgrades which can be viewed here

http://www.top4runners.com/ja/runhist31999.html

What isn't mentioned is that all '99 Highlander/Sport models came with 1" taller coils and it was hit and miss with the other '99 SR5s and early run '00 models. 5 speeds and rear diff locks were discontinued in '01 and got 1" lower coils to boot. :(

You can find '99s with say 100k on 'em for $8-11k for a well kept model and earlier or high mileage 3rd gens go for as low as $6k but $8k is more average around here.

skidding time..

[ryanman]

Had to drive 50~ miles to go see my kids at home on Christmas Eve, 15 miles of it was through 2-4ft of snow and a couple 6ft drifts on the road that had not been plowed yet, nobody else had made any tracks yet either, I would've been better off riding one of my snowmachines out there, thanks AK DOT, assholes!!! I had it in 4 low with both lockers engaged and in 2nd gear the entire way, burned 3/4 tank of gas but I made it to them and they got their presents!! Took these couple pics on my way back out, I wanted to take some on the way out there but I didn't dare try to stop cuz I would've been fucked, no cell phone service out there and a LONG walk back to the closest phone. Anyways...

[V8SpankR]

Wow,that's alot of unplowed road there and would be pretty tiresome creeping in 4lo on a paved road.

[ryanman]

Yeah, 2 hours worth of 4 low driving, it sucked but my kids were happy and that's all that matters.

Here's some shots from this morning

same happened to me on the si...thought i had a flat.

[jackmode9316]

Still snowing petty heavy?

[Evil_SpeedRacer]

Nah, it stopped and the sun came out. Still slick on the streets with a low temperature though.

[jackmode9316]

Good deal. Im flying in sunday morning and Im def. not looking forward to digging the damn prelude out of the front yard.

[Evil_SpeedRacer]

Lets drag it out with the Rover! :D

[Conrad]

AK snow is weaksauce!

[jackmode9316]

Lets drag it out with the Rover! :D
Thanks!

Honestly Im kinda worried about driving it around because it is so damn low. Shouldnt be too bad though.The digging shouldnt be much, until I decide to pull the new hatch into the garage with the CRX. THEN I have to dig out the hatch, and the POS Ford truck, just to get access to the garage door :frown: It will serve as some good post holiday exercise though I guess.

[stu]

I doubt you'll have to dig out much. Nothing like last year anyway.

Shit my 240 got stuck like a block away last year. That shit was completly buried for a couple days. So much so that tyou couldnt see it. So you couldnt be more correct!
