Snow!
Welp, minneapolis got our first snow storm today.. just cleared 2 inches or so off the car, I've heard anywhere from 6 to 8 will be falling. Streets are a mess with drivers who have forgotten what to do when the white stuff is on the ground... uck.
Just wanted to wish everyone a safe winter driving season ... keep those svxs, and yourselves, safe! |

finally!
Yeah! Finally some snow for my AWD!
Since my rebuild, I notice no more 'whump' noise when AWD is engaging like I used to. Now......gotta go put on the Toyo Observe Studless tires and go a-tearn' thru the snow. Woohoo!

I drove from work (Nicholson Hall at the U of MN), over to Little Canada to pick up my newly finished differential, and then drove back home to SW Minneapolis. This was in a RWD Volvo without snow tires, a stiff clutch, and...suckiness.
I want my manual SVX project to be done. AWD must be nice! |

Snow here too
Well, just about 20 miles east of Albuquerque, NM we've got about 4" and it's still a'snowin'. Definately glad I had AWD today to get up the huge hill in front of my house. It's days like this when I remember why I have an SVX and not something else. Other than that, it's the coolest car around anyway. Let it SNOW!!!!

WOO HOO
Well, with much anticipation, we FINALLY got some snow. I was watching the news, and they were telling me it was snowing, but I didn't see any....
Then in about a half hour it dumped the snow. We had about 6 inches by lunch time, so for the drive home I was able to use my SVX for what it is for......SNOW!!!! |

If all the rain we've gotten in the last two days had been snow, I wouldn't be able to SEE the SVX, much less drive it. SHEESH! Our monthly rainfall is listed at a little over four inches, and, I'd venture a guess that the lions share of it came today. My yard is a freakin' swimming pool!
