Re: Eclipse's in the winter

Re: Eclipse's in the winter
If it's more than 5 inches of snow I drive my Olds most of the time. I'm happy this year with the new job because the car sit in the garage M-F so it'll be nice and sheltered. However, should I need to take it someplace, my driveway is a bitch to shovel. I'll show a pic later on why.

Ahh. I so look forward to moving back to FL. End of the year! woopt. No snow here in San Diego either. I once went to Iowa during Christmas time to visit my ex-wifes family. There was ice on the road and they made me drive! (My first time) I think I almost wrecked about 10 times on the way to the mall. I didn't understand when they said I needed to start breaking light and early because of the ice, that they meant I needed to start breaking like half a mile before I wanted to stop!  It was scary and I will never do it again. Give me rain any day please.
