edit:

[fwa2500]

i wish we had snow instead of ice.....i hate ice







the result of sliding on ice down our driveway and ending up in the flowerbed with our japanese maple. i was going really slow because i knew it was icey from when i left in the morning, but it had gotten worse and i slid. there is just enough of a slope that i picked up a little bit of speed and ended up in the flower bed. nothing is broken luckily, just some scuffs and green marks. i managed to get back to the street on the grass and thats where i will stay, haha

[SpeedmanRC]

ouch, I thought it would be worse. But a little time and scratch remover and be good as new.

[fwa2500]

washed it today and most of the stuff from the tree came off though there is still some scuffing to the paint on the hood. looks 100x better clean either way, that salt and grime was really nasty

[Plays_with_Toys]

Looks much better clean! Glad to hear most of the stuff came off.

[slaytalera]

wow, very nice. and only 80k?? mines the same year (outback though) and im right at 211k.

i was thinking of painting mine but now that ive seen yours i think im gonna keep it white and just get a respray...once the garage is cleaned out and i have a place to hide it from all the trees and birds

in action on ice:


edit: my beacon for at the airport arrived

[Navi271]

Snow + Ice = awesome fun!! I've had my fair share also..
Do you work at an airport or something?

[fwa2500]

i do, two now actually


snow and ice are fun when its the right mix, but when its fresh powder on smooth as glass ice, it sucks, as i found out on wednesday when i was driving home through the park....they hadnt salted the park yet when i was cutting through and there was a bit of ice under our fresh snow.....this was the result:


it seems my WRX wheels are going to be making an earlier than anticipated appearance and will recieve new snow tyres since the all seasons that are on them are used and dont all match. im looking at getting these which would then be swapped onto steelies once it is spring/summer. total damage is about $550.

[WinterKnoll]

That's kind of a bummer, I was going to suggest you paint those white because it looks so sick on ruh roh's car.

Doesn't look as bad as the damage my wheels suffered. You should just buy a replacement wheel and swap the tire on to it. A whole lot less than $550.

the damage was mostly to the wheel bearings etc. plus, it give me the excuse to get my WRX wheels on the 14"ers will most likely be going to ruh roh as spares

[fwa2500]

well, i have my car back as of noon yesterday still waiting until i paint the WRX wheels to order the tyres though....couldnt help but take advantage of the beautiful weather today:

[WinterKnoll]

Great photos, car is looking good.

[fwa2500]

out at the airport:




dug three people out of the snow and got weird looks from the guys driving the jacked up trucks who thought they were the only ones that could go on the side streets without getting stuck....HA! i love my wagon

[fwa2500]

will be installed as soon as i can get my hands on the ratchet i need + extender

[Huffer]
