What we need for last night - and todays weather is studded snow tires!

Yikes the weather turned to crap in a hurray! 22* high here today and last night - and a nice thin coat of ice under about 2" of dry powder....

The great Pacific NorthWET just isn't equipped for this kind of stuff! Thank gawd for the BBT (big bouncy truck)... it goes no matter what... and to stop it I just toss out a couple of grappling hooks. It's kinda like running a boat -- never approach anything faster than you're willing to hit it.

Not digging the fact that snow is soon approaching us. We may get a coating late on Thursday night and very early Friday morning.

Funny stuff Greg.

At Thanksgiving I want to remember to be thankful for the old people that make me laugh.

You just made the list fellow.

But Greg, why would you build a car you could only drive two weeks out of the entire year

Uh......... Good question buddy! Except..... as usual <I have an answer for everything! <LOL> This little rod just might be the perfect cruiser for the vineyard/home we're looking to buy in the Sonoma area.

How much power is it designed to handle?

How much unsprung weight does it save by moving the Brakes inboard?

What size are the brakes?

I love 32's and you have a beauty.
