So how many of you colorado evo owners are completely sick of the random 1-4 inches we seem to be getting every couple weeks? I just traded in my viii dec. 12 and i have only been able to really go cruising in it once because of the road conditions here in fort collins (my new advans completely suck in the snow). I wake up today thinking it would be a good day to go cruising around on some backroads and I wake up to more snow! I have lived in fort collins for the past 4 years and never remember getting this much snow throughout the winter. Oh well, praying for warm weather!

Hopefully once things warm up we could get together for another meet/cruise like we did in the fall. Hope everyone has been safe with their evos this winter!

Yea, I have not driven either of my Evo's in well over a month except for on the dyno. Kinda of getting sick of it. On the good side I am making good money plowing with my F-two-fitty! Seeing the underneath of some of the daily driven Evo's we work on makes me sick as I would love to take the pressure washer to clean them up. Maybe as soon as this crap is overwith we should have a "Clean underneath your Evo day" at the shop. Sounds kinda ghey but a clean Evo is a happy Evo.

i think its a great idea! would make a nice get together as well. Hopefully it will warm up for a few weeks (in the 40's) and the snow will melt and allow the roads to be decent to drive on.

Lets try to get that clean underneath your evo day going.

I am actually coming out your way 2nd week of Feb just for the snow . Our yearly ski trip to Summit county for a week of fun. It's a 17.5 hour drive from Kzoo Michigan to Frisco. Definately NOT a trip for the EVO. We take my wife's Trailblazer EXT. Two kids, my wife and I plus our ski gear and the kids snowboard gear makes for a packed truck. Thank goodness for the DVD player. I am hoping the roads stay dry as long as possible. Fighting crappy weather through Nebraska sucks.

I am tired of it too. We have two evo's. The black one has the snow tires so it's the only one being driven....and man is it getting beat up. Because it's lowered it is now a 300hp snow plow. Not good for the undertray or lip I can't wait for it to melt so that we can bring the white one out again

it's 40's all this week but guess what. Maybe another light dusting of snow again on Saturday. ARRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I'm more tired of not being able to keep mine clean! I do enjoy driving in the snow some times, I do need to find a big empty parking lot though. I got some all-seasons after the first big storm... I didn't like driving 10 miles an hour down the road with the Advans. Great snow driver with all-seasons on it.

hahaha, that doesn't sound good! Well the drive was pretty successful (considering i am still alive and didnt happen to find any black ice). I was able to rev it out a bit and stretch my evo's legs a bit. I cant wait to see what this thing can do when I can drive without having to worry about ice/snow!

glad you made it. but if i didn't drive like i stole it they would probably do better, but i have a little personal racetrack of an industrial park entrance that is just too much fun to leave alone

Ya well at least you guys can drive you evo's, I smoked my clutch and I have to drive my wife's maxima. Although when there is no snow but just the gravel the trucks lay down it's fun to hit the throttle and have the car slid out a bit.

Yes, I would love to clean the under side of my car, if it ever stops snowing....
