The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) X

Good morning all. I am comfortably at home waiting for the weather to warm up a bit

It's supposed to be 75 on Friday

It was a very interesting morning watching the news. It sprinkled most of the night, but the roads didn't start icing until about 7 am this morning. Over the course of 7-9 am, almost all of the major overpasses were closed. Even the lower deck of I-35 was closed by 9 am. The Mopac bridge remained open, and about 10 min ago they were showing the NB side stopped on the bridge, because it goes uphill after you cross the water (still elevated). People didn't have enough momentum to get up the hill

Of course, on the SB side there is now an accident at the bottom of said hill

Uh, I think they call that a puddle.

Never fear Houstonions! As you shiver in your high-rise condos getting worked-up by the media, gurney stands a lonely vigil at the office drinking coffee and surfing the web!

Houston is bundled up at home while half of Austin tried to make the drive to work today just as things started getting bad. If I had a beater, I would just take the back roads (not far and no bridges). In the Z? Not worth the risk. I'll just wait a few hours

woot, got some new display cases for my choro-q's coming to me soon.

JARblue · 01-28-2014, 09:39 AM

Austin Police apparently just tweeted 155 reported accidents at the rate of 40 per hour, including two patrol cars that were rear-ended

That is a prime example of why I refuse to get on the roads with these people in these conditions. And this isn't even bad weather!

I feel sorry for any Canadians that have Texans visit them during the winter and rent a car

On Friday, 505 accidents were reported. Because of that mess, most companies decided to just close for the day. Of course, the local weather media played into the frenzy.

Reminds me of hurricane season back in SE Louisiana. As soon as anything entered the Gulf, the destruction of New Orleans was imminent.

not feeling the production '15 wrx the concept for the '15 looked much better in the rear IMO. But then again most concepts are always changed in a negative way and don't end up as nice

just like whats gonna happen with the FT-1

but who knows maybe toyota won't screw it up

if it comes out the way it looks now, as concept, I would consider trading the Z
