    Took my car out of the garage today for a nice little run to the Train station.
    I met up with a buddy from work and we took the train to Suburban Station in Filth-a-delphia for a Holiday get together with other co workers a nice pub. I nice warm bacon cheeseburger with a few pints of Irish water (Guinness) made for a good afternoon / early evening. We walking down to city hall and saw the ice rink has a “beer garden†so we stopped for a few more and headed back home.

    Put all cars on trickle chargers in the garage and then sat in the blue one to see how that new 64GB USB stick filled with about 30GB or music would load in the Kenwood stereo. Soon it was obvious that the stick was too large for it to begin playback right away. After about an hour of the display blinking the word "Reading" I turned off the ignition. Not happening today.

    Looked out my back door to make sure it was still there. Guess it's gonna stay there and I'll take the Suburban out tomorrow. Wonder what kind of snow load that splitter can handle. :D

    I'm picking it up at the airport tonight, and bringing it back to the airport tomorrow. It's like I am "borrowing" for a day.

    Got the Blizzaks on my wife's MCSa. If anyone needs snow tires on a car, it's her...any type of snow for her on even all seasons is a disaster waiting to happen! :lol:

    That is just more firmer water, no harm done Vette. Your wax is doing a fine job of protection that nice grey paint. On the other hand DO NOT go plowing the roads. That's a splitter not a plow. :wink:

    I shot a 1965 GT350 (yes, a real one) today, and the owner and I had a lot of the same friends. He let me do a shot of our cars together. Opposite color combinations -- I couldn't resist.

    driving electric blue today to pick up my son from college. 330 miles on roads covered with salt dust from the last storm. Guess that's what I bought the car for, but it still hurts to do that to a Mini that has never seen salt in 12+ years.
