you pussies in the cities only have a few inches. Try Duluth, we have over 2 feet in a few days. I think I'm up to 3 feet at my house.

I wish I could afford a sled. Everyone is out riding and I have nothing to do. Almost time to get the shack on the lake though!

Saw a couple full size pick ups drive out on Forest Lake today when I was out in my shack, only have 8-9 inches of ice out there. Surprised they didn't go through.

Yes. I had it set at 20, or at least i thought i did haha the gauge in my car said 20 but the sheet i got only said 13. I did find a boost leak afterwards tho so that would explain that.

I can't believe you guys put your ss babies in the snow...but I do miss the ms3 w/ snow tires and an ebrake :/

What super sucks is now the v6 escape gets slightly worse mpg, but my 15" snow tires from the 4 banger escape don't fit the v6 escape. Freaking front rotors are too damn big. I need 16". so I sold the 15"s to a friend. Hopefully can cover new tires if I need them.

Well I know it's no SS, but mine has been great every winter...and there's almost no rust...only one very small spot of surface rust, but I don't care because the car is done for...I finally fucked the engine...still runs, but it's knocking now.

I've been driving my mom's 08 Fit Sport for the last week and that thing is pretty damn fun and without snow tires it does nearly as well as mine with snow tires. I think it would be amazing with a set on it.

Went to look at cars yesterday and drove a 2014 Cruze 1LT w/ RS, Tech, Driver Convenience, and auto...it would be $18,730 after $4000 off...$20,6xx out the door...so I think next Thursday I'll be trying to get that.

Next summer I'll tear the Cobalt apart and see if it's worth fixing so I can sell the car...otherwise I'll just sell all the parts I can and sell the car as is for parts.
