50 F this weekend for me! Yippee! It was -4 F yesterday, 10 F today, and suppose to be 50F tomorrow and Sunday. Hopefully that will be enough to reduce the snow down by half. I'm tired of having to step up to get out of my little station wagon when I get home.

6 inches of ice in the driveway bordered by 3 feet of shovelled snow and about 15 inches of icy snow in the yard. Half of that will probably disappear this weekend.

If I was able to boot my computer at home, I'd give ya data on differnet grades of fuel (US grades of course). I have plenty of data as I use to log fuel milage and repairs all the time.

I could use cheap fuel and drop the extra money I would have spent on the more expensive fuel in the garbage or just buy the expensive fuel and the results would have been the same.

Quote from boosterfire :....assuming that you hire someone to clear your drive-way....

Clear the driveway? What's that?

I gave up on the driveway. My wife has 4WD (well, actually "automatic" AWD which sucks) and I leave my car and take her car (Ok, actually SUV, but small one) to work when the snow flies. I'd rather her not go out in it with the kids anyways, so if her car is at my work, she can't leave.

Quote from speed1 :....but the idiot in his Ford was right on my bumper, so I tapped the brake with my left foot to engage the lights and he went around.

Er... yeah... sorry about that. The wife was bitching at me on the cell phone because she wanted me to turn around to go to the store to pick up dog food and tampax. We were fighting so bad because I refuse to buy tampax since she refuses to buy my cigarettes when she's at the store and I dropped the CD I was trying to change out in the CD player. Thus I had to root around in the passenger footwell, which made me spill my fast food hamburger onto my lap and drop my cigarette and I maybe got a little close to you....

Sorry again for that....

Congrats to all of you guys. You've made the local news here in western PA with your snow. The UK gets on the national news, but never on the local broadcasts.

Quote from nihil :"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,"

Yeah, like allowing sponsors to own your arse, and feed you nuts like a monkey in a cage. Be a man and take back your life.

He probably has more money in one signing than I will have in multiples of my lifetime. Wouldn't you say that too?

Quote from dadge :why do you feel your opinion is so important that you advise us to ignore you rather than you holding your tounge (or fingers as the case may be)? sorry bud, you're no where important enough to determine the meaning of the word ricer.

Because for him, his opinion is indeed fact, every time.

To clear it up, I would regard Tristan's opinion as fact on the snow thread. You would be a moron if you can't figure out how to drive in the snow. It takes only 1 wrong application of the throttle to realize "It's really slippery driving in snow." Afterwards, it should be common sense how to drive in it. "We're not use to snow" is only an excuse.

Tristan's opinion is NOT fact in this thread. He has in his mind rewritten the definition of the slang "Ricer" and thus all shall abide by his definition.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with switching an ugly set of factory wheels for an asthetically appealing set of aftermarket wheels. Suspension geometry does not change as long as you stay within a boundry (same overall wheel + tire size). Changing from heavy factory wheels to lighter aftermarket wheels is not detrimental to the handling of a normal road car. It helps it. But Tristan says that it is detrimental and we all must abide by what Tristan says because everything he says is "fact".

I would hate to see Tristan's home. After all, nice looking hardwood floors, ceramic tile, slate, carpet or whatever on the floors, paint on the walls, nice interior doors, window drapery or curtains, nice hardware on cabinetry or even nice cabinetry in the kitchen, etc. That would all be rice. I'd hate for Tristan to be a home ricer. Thus I assume that there is none of this stuff in his home.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :The worst I've come across are truck drivers. They know it takes them a lot longer to stop than it does me, yet will insist on sitting on my back bumper.

Around here, this is because they want you to get the F out of the way because there is a hill coming up and they don't want to be stopping traffic to a 0.0012 mph crawl. They want to make the hill.

Big truck + needing to brake as they come upon an uphill = not driving up the hill with 50,000 pounds of cargo behind them.

I am assuming you mean cargo trucks, and not passenger vehicle pickup trucks here.
