Well, I got something I could use after winter. No cat. Didn't want sand in everything. So, it was the dogfood. When I was a kid, I was dared to eat a taste of Stronghart dog food out of a can. It was the liver flavor. It wasn't half bad. Remember Gaines Burgers. Add a bun and a little mayo and you're good to go.

Wow, so, there are cars that drive in 13 feet of snow. Dude, check the weather. There were 20+ inches of snow on the fuking ground that people had to drive in. Not the piles of snow on the road. 13'ft ain't ****. City of Chicago has spent over 14 million dollars in snow removal. What does that say. Sandbags are stupid. Same with cat litter bags,a nd dog food bags. If you rear end someone or something, those bags will bust through the backseat, and hit your seat.

Facing the first snow storm of the year this evening, I am anxious about driving my new GT around. Does anyone have tips for making the car behave in the snow?
I've been told to sandbag the trunk to weigh it down. Has anybody done this?

Dude, we get 4 feet of snow at one time over the coarse of 2 days. Our snow is deeper than yours is. Don't even try.
People get a snow storm and freak out. It's just something we deal with on a daily basis up here. Please!

Whatever you say buddy....Whatever the fu** ever. Colorado has it so hard....How do you even drive in 4ft of snow? I have a co-worker in denver, and he has not seen more then 15 inches of snow this entire winter. So, what area are you in? The area that gets 4ft of snow, and where your all mighty mustang is able to drive in it? Get real dude.

We get snow pretty often here, in central PA.
But today it was different, we had a winter storm overnight and everything was messed up.
I had to take my roommates Mitsubishi Eclipse to class!!
I usually drive my stang in the snow, but today, I couldn't see myself driving it in this conditions, when I had some problems controlling a FWD car!!

We are in the south central mountains. Elevation here is 8500 feet. Denver doesn't get much of a winter. They are flat landers down there. Might as well live in Kansas. Slow down typing. You will have better success at folks trying to read whatever it is you are trying to say.^^^^^^^
