Over the weekend, the Sonata got stuck again from simply parking on the side of the road. The neighborhood streets don't get any attention from the city unless it is an emergency route. I found out a bunch of snow was wedged underneath the car, so it took awhile to shovel it out. This car appears to have plenty of clearance, but is pretty low underneath. As of yesterday most of the snow melted down to a slush.

Today, it started snowing a couple of afters after making it to work. We all went home after lunch because of the blizzard warning. I came home to sweep the driveway and already saw about 1.5-2" accumulation of fresh snow.

Nothing compared to Nemo in other states, but we'll see how it goes by Tuesday morning.
damn! I wish we would get that snow! lol

I can... get yourself a 5 year contract. Nice that they're down the street, but unless the price is phenomenal, the contract will be cheaper.

hummm, not the best alignment (the toe is not even), but probably better than where you were before. you had thrust angle going one way, now your thrust angle is going the other way.

I need something quick and dirty. I'll probably hit up NTB next month after I get my monthly Discount Tire balance.
