I should just get these for my car. I wonder how often I would get asked to park in a prime spot?

I found a new temporary hobby for today, tonight and tomorrow.

Drive fast on the pavement and then power slide across batches of slushy ice and snow.

bud everytime it snows, I feel the same way...wanna get out there and just drift a little bit into turns....


I still remember, taking the wifey out when we had the first snow of 2010...went downtown and got a little aggressive with a left turn...ended up scratching the bumper when I hit the curb...I was lucky and missed the fire hydrant LOL...

even till date, when I tell her "its snowing outside, you wanna go for a drive"...she says "not in my car"

Whatever kind of fun I want to have in the car it's gotta be when she isn't in the passenger seat. She becomes terrified!

Couple photos from yesterday.

Nice photos Bryan. That last shot has a neat effect going on with it. The headlight is nice and crispy and the wall is running some good bokeh.

Hey guys! I know a lot of you guys *cough* Eric, Jason plus others *cough* do a bunch of stuff to your cars, so I was wondering if you could help me out.

Looking to get some vinyl installed on both my truck and my trailer. Some pieces I already have, just need them installed b/c they are large. Some other stuff I need custom cut, then installed. You guys have any suggestions? If they are mobile and can come out to the house... even better! Especially with the trailer.

TIA

Unfortunately my vinyl guy is in PA that did all my stuff. I haven't gotten any done since being down here. He will ship stuff too but unfortunately that still doesn't help you install need.
