Probably some new import-friendly front bumper laws coming too soon...
Yeah anyways every year the middle and high school kids from my church go out to our place and me and dad do a hayride in the back of the M35 deuce and a half. I think i burned a battery up though cause i ran 3 strings of Christmas lights off a 2500 watt inverter on the front batt only. Great way to learn about unequal charging on a series wired 24 volt system...

Well I just went wheeling. First time in my life I've ever put a vehicle in a ditch. And I did it twice today! No damage or anything, I stopped enough to just slide in. There was a good foot and a half of snow where I was. On the road up there, I was going around a corner, got a little cockey, hit the throttle (25mph in 3rd, 2wd). The back end came out fast, and there was nothing I could do I just slide into the ditch. Got out in 2wd, nothing wrong. Kept going and later that day I was going around a corner to fast in 2wd, and there was this bridge that I had to get onto, but if I turned to get on it I would have slid my back end out, so I rolled onto the brakes to not look them up, and slide into another ditch!

Crazy day, and I'm glad I made it out all good ;Sweet

Hey Justin, quit hogging all the snow:backoff. We only got 3" and most of it melted away.

Actually I had to drive some 200 miles yesterday for work and there were some thick conditions out there. I would have taken a picture, but there was no place to stop and I wasn't about to fiddle with my phone in those conditions. You name it, I say it. Jack knifed rig, cars crossing the center median, collisions, and one steeper hill was a parking lot with both the break down lane and the fast lane full of stuck vehicles. The LS saved my skin on that one.:hail

When I got there, the whole front of the truck was clogged with snow. It was a soppin' slushy mess once the rain started.

Its comming down again at the moment, but its dry this time.

I remember snow when I was 2 or 3 years old which would have been 1990 or 91. Forecast highs down here next week are in the 70s. From what my dad said it looked like a demolition derby around here when it snowed back then. I think I went to see my cousins last Christmas in shorts and flipflops...
