I didn't find a single road that was "bad" this morning lol

I was driving through the neighborhoods in Columbia and those were the only bad roads I had seen.

They plowed my alley yesterday very well, then overnight they blocked it in by plowing the main road and did not touch up the intersection. It was like a very cold rock pile with some glue thrown in! A neighbor and I were out there with garden shovels and a pick ax to clear enough of a space to drive the AWD out. Z stayed put in the garage.

I agree with Rob, make sure you clear around your cars and fire hydrants so it doesn't form an ice block overnight. More snow is on the way also...

yea its nice to have especially in PA (well NE in general) with the winters are harsh.

its tucked away in the front corner against the wall since my typical spot in the smaller heated garage is taken by some old vette i can't seem to sell and it's annoying me.

plus i think my father just caved today when he sat in the new vette at the auto show. i got a text saying "Fuck my original thought of waiting until august. the new vette will be home soon."

I felt the same way after sitting in it, but luckily I don't have the money to buy it

Got stuck trying to get my girlfriend's car out this morning on a solid sheet of ice. 45 minutes and a ton of kitty litter later we got free only for her to get stuck again in Columbia after she dropped me off at work. More snow tonight or so I'm told.

Quick question - I don't *need 2 piece rotors on my rears right - just front?

*Accepting the fact that "need" is a relative term.

Looking at running 2 piece slotted DBA rotors in the front and 1 piece rears. Really crazy deal from R/Tuning (R/T Tuning?)
