Stop in for a cup of coffee

No, they sure grip with the highway gear and narrow tires really get through the snow... They took 2 - 3 days to plow the streets in the neighborhood in Detroit and driving them in the Barracuda was fun after I put in the 8 3/4 3.23 sure grip....
The cone surgrip was good. The extra clutch in the Dana style made it a bit too tight.
Doubt it will see snow again since that would most lilkely also mean salt again. :(

Damn weather! Waiting for some decent junk yard days. Big item I need is pass side back door for Neon, but probably more important are some underbody items I will be crawling on the ground to get. Found a few pieces are missing under front. Should be a hell of a lot cheaper from a yard than what I see online if I can find them. There is a panel that fills between bumper facia and drops down in front of lower radiator support. Not just a pretty face - it helps protect wiring. I think the wires are all still good. Seems like everything works, But the plastic cover is quite fubared. Also missing the splash shield for the belt and pullies in pass side wheel well. So that stuff is getting wet and covered with crap and belt squealing. :BangHead:
 
We've had freezing rain since last night...

On the way home this morning there was a branch that fell from a tree in the road... I couldn't take evasive action because it came up just as I peaked a hill and if I would have tried to swerve could have lost control and wiped out on the icy surface, it impaled itself in the lower turn signal of the rental car and the windshield reservoir got damaged also... :wtf:


Here's the carnage....

They cancelled the Iowa route trucks last night...

I wonder how many of the regular routes will be cancelled or late tonight... :steering:

May be another 12 hour day.... :BangHead:
 
I see our county just pulled in the plows for the gravel roads. The Blacktop roads will be plowed until 5 pm. The State highways should all be open. (so far)
