Default Before and after.

Here are a couple of before and after the storm shots. I think i lost 3 pounds from just shoveling snow. Much respect to the folks that have to do this more than twice in the winter. I have much respect for you guys cause i can't get used to this.

Congrats. It appears you didn't go anywhere because the car is still silver.

We received a stinky little 2-3" this weekend and the temp is warm - about 32.

Oh believe me the car is filthy. The silver never shows dirtyness for some odd reason but yeah shes a dirty little girl. We had over a foot and a half. Thats enough for me.

You have the perfect set up: a beater(integra), a snow smasher(RX), and a cruiser(LS).

At my age, shoveling that could be a death sentence. That's why I have a 48" snow blower on the front of my 1985 John Deere 318 with tire chains and wheel weights.
