It's been snowing the last few days. Went out to this parking lot to have fun. Ran out of batteries so no video until tonight. Also, the parking lot was too tight for any real fun. My friend said it was wide open. Not so much...

Forgot to include a picture of my room mate's cold air intake... Haha. He has a ram air scoop on his truck and was on the highway...

If you want snow, come to the NE and take it. It may be fun in parking lots, but it's no fun when friends and relatives get stuck at airports or swerve off the road or get hit by idiots because of it. Definitely not worth it. Wish it would snow once for the winter and stay on the ground and off the roads until spring! :P

I love having snow. Though I did hit some black ice and ended up sliding between two stopped cars to avoid an accident. Terrifying.



But overall, snow = awesome.

Went out 5 days ago... we had a light dusting, about 2" accumulation on the ground.

2" would close Nashville down. It was 73 here yesterday, and it is like 65 today. Lets see some video so I can salivate.

It's supposed to snow again tonight and tomorrow here in boulder maybe, and since I have the car all set up now, maybe I'll get some drifting time in!

Got some video, but it sucks. No camera man. Tripod doesn't exactly capture the action too well.

Plenty of lots in Greeley... They just started plowing the main roads yesterday. It was like they were surprized by the storm or something :lol:

The only issue is dealing with all the idiots while trying to get to an empty lot. :lol:

Haha, yeah. I spun out today. First time this week and I've been kicking it sideways every chance I get. I was at work, 5mph in a parking lot. Kicked it out and then countersteered trying to do sort of a backwards S shape to leave my parking row and then exit out the parking lot. Well on the last part of the turn at like 5 mph, I countersteered and it just didn't respond. Haha. Funniest thing is of the 100 people that work there, only two saw it. And one was a guy from my department haha.

And now a crappy video. The islands were only about 60' apart, so I kept my speeds low navigating around them. I hope to find a more open lot on friday when it snows again. Oh, and tripd < real camera person

We got some cool footage last night. Once the guy who taped it sends it to me, I'll post it up :twisted:
