HA....god how I HATE winter and snow with the deepest of passions but what can you do...too poor to move away Besides, I wouldn't wanna give up the Detroit autoscene. No where else on earth is like Detroit and it's cars Of course it may look unreal and beautiful to you but when you see the reality of it and how repulssively ugly the road salt makes EVERYTHING it will make you cringe. It is so bad it would even make a Ferrari look like a beater while destroying its paint and everything else at the same time! lol...sorry I just hate snow and cold. I am excited for it to snow now though that I have my winter car. I'm excited to drive in it. Very fun, especially when you dont have to worry about crashing the car anymore She still looks great though!Seems like only yesterday eh? lol...definately going to be setting up a car show in the spring...Im already sick of winter and it hasnt snowed yet here. I should be able to get my mom's boyfriend to bring his Enzo or Veyron by. That should get us a descent turnout.They look sooo cute togather don't they? hahaha

(removed). wow... that's snow? no sense getting pics of here as there's lotsa snow on the ground that is now ice. and snow is fun to drive in.... when there's a fresh dusting, a lot of the guys are off to an empty parking lot to enjoy some drifting. winters can be long, but it is very beautiful (fresh snow). great pics too. wish we had a cool old bridge i could park on for some pics. the only one i can think of is roped off.

ya, when it snows, it just accumulates. but a nice small fresh dusting makes it far more pretty outside. otherwise, it's ugly. they don't use salt here, but gravel. which means a lot of windshield casualties, but no corrosion underneath or killing the animals.
