Any Vik, does anyone you know go to Benedictine University? I could swear I see that RX in your garage all the time in the parking lot.

I was plowing the roads too. It didn't come down as hard as I was expecting though.

We got between 4" - 8" depending on how far North or South of Chicago.

What's it like in your part of CA?

I got to work about 30 minutes early!!! A lot less traffic on I-90 and it was well maintained.

I even plowed some sides streets too and my car is OEM height.

Nah, sorry. The rx300 ss is pretty common and they all look the same.

Yeah. They overestimated. We barely got 6 inches.

I was driving to work and listening to the scraping of snow on the bottom of the car. I thought, "How the h** is Mike getting through this ******?"

Me 2! I got to work on time because there was hardly anyone on the roads. If I wasn't going so slow I would have gotten there early.

Check out this pic of my car. You can see the line where the snow was coming up to on my bumper. I was plowing snow as high as 8-10 inches on my bumper!!!!!!!!!!!

yes it is Ramsen. He took these pics with his cell when he got out to grab some food.
Crazy man.

I'll keep my Lotus in the garage and make my 4wd truck earn its keep.

That's not a stock wing on the Elise right? God I hope not.

Even the Exige I know's wing isn't of that style.
