Anyone else brave it and drive to work today? I did. Surprisingly wasn't that bad on my route, for me at least. I passed by 10-15 cars on the side of the highway though.

In the future, I think it would be great if we could do a photoshoot of DFW Aziners here. These were taken the summer of last year, I still think its a great location, and some shots in Addison would be awesome too. Chime in Rick!!

635 drivers are morons regardless of weather. Snow just amplifies their stupidity & makes driving in the left lane like playing Russian roulette.

We are planning a meet on the 5th after Cars & Coffee, so we can plan something there.

But, just give me a date to take off & I'm in.

I did not drive at all today...I was supposed to go to jury duty...I went out felt the road...walked back in and back to sleep. If they are willing to pay for my medical and my car sure ill drive but other than that they can go fuck themselves for jury duty in this weather. Either way I think it got cancelled so I am just staying home since I have the day off from work.

whudini: how bad is the damage I might know some people.

About 4 dings on each side. The largest one appears to be a shopping cart ding, that also left an imprint about 5in long.

Nelson, if you get a chance to get the info about your friend, let me know!

This pic was at 7:30 this morning. Took me 30 minutes to get the windshield and back window cleared and the door opened (frozen shut)



FWD + Wide Tires = Great Traction. I'm still laughing at all the pickups stranded on different roads around here.

yeah, its the rear panels. Its quite the eyesore in indirect sunlight.Then there is a few small ones that are hard to catch. Screw rouge shopping carts




Dent towards the bottom, (right before the medal curves off @ an angle) and appears to have creased/imprinted the metal a few inches up. Dude I swear someone is out to get me....

Thanks in advance!

So any further details on this Saturday meet? The weather is expected to be in the 50's so the ice should be melted by then. I have plans later in the day for a bday thing but I'm free during the day (not goin to C&C). Rum ; don't be tricking me lol. Look forward to the meet, and do we know where it is?

Its gonna be cars and coffee in the morning obviously then we all will grab lunch from there. As for the location people chime in. Then its off to Ethans house and the airstrip for the photos I guess. This is as far as I know. I would like more details too lol. We need more people to come to this!

Yeah, I had to look at it again & realized the 2-eleven has a very smooth, aerodynamic exterior.

They seem to hold their value amazingly well.

I really want to make sure again, if this is ok with Ethan & his company. Airport security is always a hot topic, & I'd rather not see any negative consequences because a group of unauthorized people are hanging around someone's expensive planes.

You can pick up a used Atom for about $55-60K. The Lotus though seems to be worth $80K, regardless of condition.

Gotta admit, I think I'd rather have an Atom. Guy in the neighborhood owns one. Pretty schweet machine.

I've heard of some Caterham 7 kit cars being built in the $30-40k range. I'd love to own either of the 3..
