I may not have my basket lights on, but I did join my Canadia Comarades in one little detail:

As you can see, we had a blizard in full swing. With near white out conditions, I braved the roads to tackle one of the biggest obstacles for an Urban Wheeler; chain resturaunts....

With a post-work link up with the wife scheduled at Olive Garden (classy right ) i braved the urban landscape to trudge 2 miles down a busy main road while the arctic blast mercilessly punished our fair town.

With many a close call, and much evasive driving, I managed to survive the trek, but that's when the real fun began. As i slowed and began to apply my brake, i experience a total loss of traction. At my parking lot speed of 15 mph, i knew i had only seconds (20-30) to regain control before i smashed into the building, another car, or the 4' drop from the adjoining parking lot. With nerves a steel, I eased into my parking spot and used my beefed up (read as: 'stock') suspension to take the final blow successfuly avoiding dissaster and coming to a full and complete stop.

I should warn you to brace yourself as the following image shows just how dangerous snowy conditions + driving can be.



btw, look at my corner lights weep at how crappy they look

now be nice Matt. you know now that he's a Mod newbie, he's gotta spend more time here than out there.

besides, he did say he can't get around to tackling his 4WD fix yet.

ummmm................there must be something wrong with my connection, 'cause the pic i see, sure as hell doesn't have much "white stuff" in it. in fact, i think there's more white in that parking line Curtis, than what you would call your "near white out conditions".

As for the Valance, yeah. It's one of the sacrafices one must make for the love of the game

As for the white out blizzardy end all life ice age we experienced, you can clearly see the falling snow right? It's blotting out a good portion of the image. let your eyes go limp and stop looking PAST the flakes to find the image behind it...
