Working...from home . I would've driven in if I didn't have the ability to work from home. The roads weren't bad at all, even at 8:30 this morning. They've been spotless since late morning. I tried to watch the news at lunch...nothing but snow .

I had to laugh this morning when one of my neighbors (knowing that I am from up North) knocked on my door and asked me if I had any tips for driving in such horrible conditions. BTW, she drives an AWD Highlander...

I couldn't help but think about all the times I used to have to drive my rear wheel drive 5.0 mustang(which was pushing over 375hp) in 10+ inches of snow

Wet roads on Saturday from Friday's rain is no better.

If it does rain I hope it's either really late Saturday or Sunday.

Lunch and the Parking Deck should still be OK. We can all park under cover. Just bring a couple of drying towels, some MF towels and some Quick-Detailer.

It's the Cars & Coffee that we have to worry about. If it rains, those guys won't bring their exotics out.

You can call me. This is my first meet but I know exactly where this parking deck is since I work down the road from it. (704) 497-6521 is my cell.

F that! I'd get swirl marks gallore on CBP with the amount of dirt that sticks to the car from the rain.

Listed chance of rain is small. Worse comes to worst, just leave it wet and/or let it "air dry" and we can get some pics in the garage.


We'll have to see what happens, but I'd hate to see this fall apart from a little (or even a lot) of rain. For Charlotte, this is practically a "mega" meet.

Rain or shine, I'll be there. I can't guarantee how clean my car will be though haha. I'm going to wash and wax it Friday when I get out of school and put it in the garage for the night until I leave in the morning. I'm not looking forward to driving 3 hours with all of the salt and shit on the road from the snow we had today.
