Don't you know bunouts are better in the snow that way you can get a 360 degree shot without moving the camera-- have to duck from the slush balls though LOL

Yep, I'll give him a pass because of the snow. I'm not to far away and we had 14" in our driveway last night. Most of the roads are pretty well clear, but parking lots, not so good.

Tim, the car kicks ass. It is amazing what you have done with it and especialy after what you went through to get some of the parts.

You've got so much heart, soul, and $$$$$ into this beast it's GOT to last at one season, even if it's just a couple of warm months, right?.  Cheesy 

Just give the word Tim, you know I'll have the camera ready for the archival record.  Wink
