YUCK!





I just shot these two walking out to "warm up" my car (which doesnt involve the engine, just the ass warmer)

Holy Cow! Your poor car! Mine's only been rained on 3 times in its life. After being trapped in AZ long enough you forget that while it's nice and warm here, it's actually snowing in other parts of the country. We're finally experiecing a cooling trend though...hopefully we'll get some snow in the moutains so I can finally try out my new snowboard.

DAMN !!!!!
Don’t be showing me pictures of that WHITE SHIT !!!!

Pretty soon I’ll be crawling up the ladder to get my snow tires down.
I’m hoping that I won’t need to do that for a few weeks at least.

Well if you only need to go through a few inches on a flat surface, you should be OK.
But, if you need to go through 8-10 inches up a hill like this, I would go with dedicated SNOWS.

Yes, that was taken last year from the bottom of my driveway.

This is the view looking UP the road.
Lets see you make it up THAT road with stock tires or a Rear Wheel Drive car.

ANY car would have trouble driving in that with all-seasons. Snows are a must for real winter driving. But it sure is pretty.

Driving in the snow is great as long as there are no other cars, phone polls, ditches, or mailboxes.

Whoah! Did you build that rack yourself? I'm going to save that picture... When I build a home I want something like that.

OMG too cool... in so many ways!

Cool enough to snow
Cool pictures
Cool tire holder in the garage


And I hope my Aegean Baby doesn't have to push some snow like that red CL-S!

Maybe I should move to AZ before winter strikes Maryland!

Yea, I built that this past spring using a few 2x4’s and joist hangers.
It gets the tires/wheels out of the way when they’re not in use.

It’s above the rear double doors, which is wasted space anyway.

I put my stock rims up there in the winter so they don’t get knocked over & damaged.
We all know haw fragile they are.

Wish we get snow in New Orleans once in a while. The last time we saw any snow was about 15 years ago (if I can really call it snow). Be careful driving out there.

Awesome. I have a green '98 3.0. I'm actually looking into buying a 2001 CL. I'm not sure if it's the Base or Type S, but it's white like yours. We'll probably see each other around.

Nope, mine is completely stock. I just got it tinted...that's all. I've only had for about a month now. When are your headers coming in? If you're going to do the install yourself and want some help, just call me up.
