I managed to get stuck on the 1/4 mile long driveway and had to stay home from work last night. I backed it to the present spot and it's just a giant ice cicle. O those old angel eye headlights are now gone as well for those of you who know the car.

yeah we're finally getting some snow here where i am at school...NY is getting demolished. it's about time though. oh and nice car. are you going to upgrade the headlights and grill whenever your car thaws?
na, we just got a house. We'll be moving the first weekend in march so no upgrades planned. I had aftermarket headlights in but they looked tacky stock actually looks better. The grille is actually aftermarket but just because of the clear markers, I have clear bulbs in too so it matches the nice bright white headlights.

I hear you on that one Spatakula, I got home last night myself, and my car just kinda slid into the parking spot, and wouldnt move any more. Its currently in the same spot. Unfortunantly i have to part alont side of the road, and the snow plows made it a little worse for me and pushed the snow closer to my car (ugh, more to dig out later). ANYWAY, enough about me, I just wanted to say I feel your pain, and I saw your car at the York car show back in 06 at the york fair.

p.s. that second pic remids me of that saying our parents would always say "if you keep making that face, thats how its going to stay for ever" lol.

^^^ We usually get plenty of those storms in the northeast, but this year it's pretty much just been this icy mess we got yesterday.

People arouund here(Mechanicsburg/Harrisburg) simply can't drive. I made it to work the past two days just fine drama free. But watching the other idiots on the roads...:bang:

I had some farking idiot tailgaiting me this AM on 581. I'm driving on the snow covered left lane, following the car infront of me by about 15 car lengths going about 40mph passing the traffic in the right lane that is bumper to bumper moving at around 15-20mph. And this a-hole feels the need to ride my bumper? So, I backed off and doubled that 15 car lengths to 30 car lengths. That really made him happy.

5-81 was by far the worst interstate around here. I was going to work last night around 11pm and it was terrible, the car was all over the place going 25mph. Then I picked up all kinds of ice and snow in between my control arms and axels and it all but rattled the car to peices once I got to 81 and got up to 65 mph. I would have made it to work that night it snowed but my I got stuck in my inlaws driveway which is on the side of the mountain near perry county. They got 2 to 3 inches more snow then anywhere else I saw. Their driveway is gravel and the snow was like sand so traction was no where. I wasn't making it a 1/4 mile up hill through the woods like that.
