Crystal was epic on Thursday, I'm looking to hit it again Monday or Tueasday after this blizzard is over.

Holy snowstorm batman...

I watched a black Evo come down my hill by my house trying to be a rally driver and went wide on the sweeper and then spun around. I laughed, if you want to be a rally driver you commit to putting the car sideways before the corner, then you exit going to the correct direction. Noobs...

Oh man I got stuck lol. Kuhmo asx's just don't cut it in 8'' or so of fresh snow even on a small hill. But they do fine in plowed roads and lesser snow. We have some crappy video's but it's on dereks cell so maybe he will post it.

Here are some cell phone pics with my cousin in his subby and danny with his rs:

We got some snow in Salem, but mostly ice. Lost a tree in the backyard and getting ready to loose another one in the front. Sad thing is they are really old trees. The tree in the backyard is a couple hundred years old.
Wifes car




My Evo is loving this weather.



This tree is starting to break up also. It overhangs the road.


And my favorite tree in the backyard. It is a Myrtle wood.

hardcore ... just snow here in Bellevue, but plenty of it still. Also, last night one of the water pipes in the garage froze & burst, so this morning I had my own personal skating rink in the garage, that was different

No pics yet, but I've put almost 800 miles on the car the past week or so since the snow has come.

This thing drives friggin awesome in it. Put it on snow mode on the acd and give it hell. I actually got paid 200 cash this am to drive my buddy and his girlfriend to the airport from Fremont at 4:30 am. he was in a bind and needed to get there to fly to mexico.


the car used to be wicked white, it's more of a brownish. we were down in Seattle last night at pike when the snow was dumping. I have had absolutly zero problems on freeways in packed snow and ice and even in the thick stuff. Only small pain was high snow pack and having my front lip plow it, but no damage yet.

I've driven in as deep as I would say maybe 8" without any problems. Last night I was mobbing 65 on I-5 and boeing passing cars doing 20 without any problems. The back end felt a little light and that was about all it was.

I'll get some pics at some point here of my car
