    Re: snow!

    Better yet... why don't we double our property taxes and install heated streets in all of Calgary?

    I, for one, welcome the snow. In fact, I think I'm gonna go take a rip during the lunch hour. Wheeeeeeeeeee...!

          came home to a 3 foot snow drift in front of the garage door. Roads are crappy, but drivable. Viability is more an issue than sliding.

          Had a truck with bobcat trailer come up behind me honking and sideways. I was the first car at the light thank goodness, so I was able to pull out in to the intersection and let him stop.

            Can't wait to leave work at 6:00pm-ish. Not.

            I might say eff it and wait out the majority of traffic by hanging out at the Drum for a couple hours. Grab some dinner and just relax.

                I beasted over a hunk of snow from a wheel well the other day like the Hulk and loved my skid plate.

                    despite all the snow, the traction wasn't bad. Just had to go slow and watch for ruts+snow drifts

                    Bad news for me - Co worker pointed it out to me as I backed into my stall. There is a green drip coming from my car. I parked for an hour, pulled forward to see how much and I would say a couple drops in a toonie sized area of neon green liquid.


                    What engine fluid is bright green?

                              My neighbourhood is a wreck. Massive snowdrifts at all entrances/exits.... I don't know how I ever made it around without 4-motion and blizzacks. (oh ya... I didn't...)

                              The R32 is ridiculous in this stuff... just powers through it no trouble at all. I LOVE IT!!
