On a side note, that Caddy next to the Stang looks pretty sweet. Not as cool as the Shelby...but not too shabby.

My Stang had a fun snow ride across town today to get to the muffler shop to fix a rattle I was having. It was a fun trip once I got up the hill outside the house, which took a solid 10 minutes. 295/30/20 Toyo Proxes do a great job of distributing the weight of my Stang over enough slippery area to make it even more difficult to get any traction, but we made it.

That caddy is sweet and souds sexy. It's my neighbor's new CTS-V coupe. They come with 556 hp and are supercharged.

HT, where are you at in NC? The roads this morning are solid ice so I'm not going anywhere. Traffic cams are making for an entertaining morning

I'm in Hickory, NC. I go to school at Clemson though. I'm waiting for things to slush up before I head back currently.

I'm from Morganton, NC but stationed at Ft Bragg. Roads are bad all over from what I'm hearing.

Yeah, we got a couple inches late last night somehow, and the earlier snow had cooled the roads, so there are still a few inches of snow on all the backroads. Main roads are slushbuckets. I took Baja out for a test run to make sure I could get her back to Clemson, and I'll be driving into worse stuff along the way. At least it's mostly 85 straight back.
