Okay as long as we're on the topic here....

[rant mode]

Driving to work today was un-frickin' believeable. I know what I just said about Portland drivers in the snow, saddly the same should be said about front range drivers here in Colorado. Barely any snow stuck to the road, maybe an inch or so of slush. At yet, in my 25 minute drive to work I encountered the everpresent stamp of marketing's effect on the modern driver. Three vehicles spun off the road and/or impacted with a berm or such. What were they? No, it wasn't the 20 year old tercell on bald tires, he was the one driving 20 miles an hour on a 60 mph two lane road... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) It was, get this.... A new Land Rover Discovery, an Acura MDX, and a BMW X5... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif) Geez... Just because you spent $50k on your all wheel drive luxo yacht, does not mean you are immune to the elements!!! Me, I had no problem driving through the inch or so of slush at the posted limit. Why? Cause I have... you know... wait for it... SNOW TIRES!!!!!! Geez people! It's the freakin' rocky mountains!! Get some bloody snow tires for your $50k fashion statement!!

[\rant mode]

Thanks, I had to get that out...

We got snow here, too...didn't last long....I had to put pants on it got so cold after 2pm.

When I went to the bank in BAD TUB at 10 am I was still wearing my typical non-work attire, flips, tee shirt and shorts and got wierder looks than usual. As the compression comes up with the rings sealing it gets funner and funner.......too bad it's an ass dragger, huh?
