Yep - I'm out for snow again today..... think I'll move someoutta the way so I can "drive" a few laps in the garage LOL. Soon as I get it started I'll be makin some REAL noise......
Out here today also, pretty crazy for down here. 19 degrees this morning with rain and sleet last night so a layer of ice on the roads and bridges and close to 200 miles of interstate closed. NO ONE knows how to drive on ice around here and with the temp only getting to 34 degrees for a shot time today at about 3 pm the ice is still on the roads and bridges so maybe home again. To dam cold to drink a beer in the garage in my jeep seat

Yeah I'm going to make that Colorado run also, sooner than later myself. One of those bucket list things with my jeep. Need to get new engine and FI first

I was blaring Van Halen’s self titled album in the garage this weekend and my wife came out to tell me that she did not remember DLR’s voice being sooooo bad.
