Snow

I hate snow....most likely because I dont participate in any winter activities, but it's cold and messy. Maybe when my SVX's power steering problem is fixed I'll like it more being the one of the few and proud who can navigate the snowy tundra here in CT unscathed. She goes in Tues. We have about 6 inches or so, but they expect another 8-10, maybe even another foot. Time to break out the shovels i guess. Is this the first snow post of the season?

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

at my work (driving range / cider mill) we have golf carts.....hehehehe, there's this huuuuge puddle that has been around since summer, and it finally froze making driving the golf cart that much more fun, so after bushwacking in the woods with it i take it for some donut runs on the puddle....things kids do

with FWD (which the SVX is 90%), you need to do the doughnuts in reverse.

What are you running studded tires on your golf cart? The ones at my work are compleatly useless in the snow, they push worse than an SVX.

i guess the laws of physics didn't apply to you and your SVX, Lady Smartypants. perhaps your purple neon glow tubes melted the snow and ice before you could begin sliding?

listen here sweetheart, those neons were off the car by August...and we don't get snow here in August. and i really honestly tried to have fun in the snow in my SVX in a parking lot, a few times...and i still didn't ever get a good round just a little slide here and there, and once in a while a pulse on the ABS


i am deprived!

Now there's an idea! Intense microwave beams that instantly melt snow and ice away from the front of your car as you drive down the road, leaving the melted water to freeze back to ice for the cars behind you.
