    Yeah that works but I hardly go out so its not big deal. I think it was 1 yup 1 degree today when I go up and I had to turn my garage heater on to melt the ice in my wash hose. My wash bucket is a solid block of ice because it so damn cold. Currently it's 14 with no wind chill included.

    The worst part is I took my car out yesterday and it got covered with salt and crap and now I need to wash it but everything is frozen. Oh don't worry all my outdoor water pipes are turned off from inside the house last week and I drained and left them wide open. I don't need pipes bursting.

    I am just going to leave my MINI it in the garage dirty until it warms up above 32 and attach my pressure wash to my hot water line. Who knows maybe I can make more snow this weekend for the kids on my street to play in. :lol:

    Oh and no I will not wash frozen glass with hot water I know what will happen. :rolleyes:

    If you don't know try it. :frown2::ihih::incazzato:

    When I was growing up, my grandmother used to cook up snails regularly. I loved 'em...

    Yep, I'll try pretty much anything. :D

    Just the thought of running 18s makes my back/wallet hurt. You're obviously not in the northeast with the accompanying excuses for roads.

    Looks great. Very good idea tying that down. Can't imagine what havoc it would could cause in a wreck if it was loose.

    Another day of looking at it. Still frozen out there. Cranks, but won't fire.

    Sunday the deep freeze is allegedly going to lift...

    I thought, heck it's a sunny day today so I drove the damn thing (my Classic) around the block. Only that far because I realized I was on fumes... :rolleyes:

    I'm jealous. The stuff is $1.17 CDN per litre in the Vancouver BC (Canada) area. But it was $1.75 per litre in the summer last year.
