    We're supposed to get a lot tonight so I'm just sitting and waiting for it to come so I can go back out.

    No action shots in it but I had a blast haha.

    Fortunately the plow stopped short of burying my roadster:

    Hooray, I have power again after four freakin' days!
    Got about 14 inches of snow here over about a day and a half ('round last Wednesday), that then turned to freezing rain and put about a quarter to a half inch layer of ice on everything.
    It was like walking through a creme brulee, which I've had to do everywhere lately.
    Some places it looks like bombs had gone off from the amount of trees on the ground, and the power lines got taken out with them.
    My car has been stuck in the garage for a week. The road crews are assholes around here. Everything is basically plowed, except my neighborhood and there's been a foot of frozen slush keeping me from leaving.
    I can get out finally now, I think. Needless to say, I've gotten a bit of cabin fever.
    I made a pretty serious Lego castle while the power was out.

    Quick video from Friday night before I got hit, don't mind my intake, it's really annoying in some parts of the video, I tried to lower the volume on some parts because of it:

    Yea, but I was quoted $800 from the bodyshop so I'm going to bang it out from the inside w/ a friend and just get it looking decent. Might even try some of those suction cups.

    My MSM's 3rd Winter.

    I use the Stock 17" MSM Wheels, with Ruber Band Blizzak Tires.

    First year I am lowered though. So far, it has not been an issue since Chicagoland has not had much snow. Traction is not an issue though.

    It looks SO funny with those Giant Wheels. They are pretty good for the snow though, the heavier weight seems to be good to keep wheelspin down.

    I don't remember how much I paid for them, but it was not that much... I think. They are on their third winter and there is still tons of tread left. Been VERY happy with them.
