Why not? Quit being such a puss. A little snow never stopped me. I drive mine year round. What are you one of those fags that keeps his tucked away with carpet under his tires? Grow a set and hit the road, Sally.

Phoenix Storm Damage

you guys back in the Midwest can't complain much more than those of us in Phoenix that got hit by the storm yesterday!!!

Winter Storm hits South-Central Arizona


With all the news lately about the subzero weather and snow that the Midwest and east coast areas are experiencing, we shouldn't forget that  Phoenix also has its share of devastating weather this winter.

Attached is a photo showing damage to a home from a recent storm that passed through the  Phoenix area. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take life for granted.











See photo below.




I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

Oh boy. I can sleep tonight... You drove your charger...  :dance:

What happened to the Frank that'll drive his anywhere, in any weather, any roads, any conditions?? You've let me down, Franky me boy...

And it takes skill, patience and a very steady eye to get all of the carpet pads even under my tires. Next year I have to remember to double side the carpet so there's soft pile under my tires AND hitting the freshly epoxied floor. I don't know what I was thinking. And no, I'm not one of those sissies that jacks the car up and places the pads under my tires.. I DRIVE up there...

Talk to ya soon, Sally  :cheers:

He still is...just enjoys the warm weather a fair bit more.

Did you at least start the general? Or do you need to keep the door closed because it will get sick??

Go put on your superman PJ's and read a book  :icon_smile_big:

Than take a pic while reading a book and explain how your so happy to sit in the garage next to your general, with your superman PJ's on, reading a book, and thinking about what it would be like if you actually drove it  :hah: :hah: :hah:

that area has the sides reinforcement below it. Imposible to bend there.

BTW winter ? WHAT'S WINTER ? lol

WE ARE ACTUALLY sweating even at nights... Caracas is normally a fresh city and some hot on dry season ( we are actually on dry season with some forest fires around ), but this season has been the hotter of all the history. We have got around 38º Celsious. Some areas in Venezuela close to 45º Celsious

Venezuela is on a very hard dry season, and we are allmost to the border to stop the hidroelectric plant on Caroni River ( Guri press, 2nd plant in the world ) what provides 70% of the electricity in the country

In fact the ANGELS WATER FALL ( higher in the world ) is drying too.

100? that's if she's got 10lb dumbbells in her pocket.

I almost put the 'summer wheels' on my truck today, but my buddy said I was being cocky and that there was "still more snow to come". I really hope he's wrong, because the weather the past few days has been awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of good rainstorms, street sweeping and clear roads and I'm gonna be out there tearing up the streets with the rest of you!!!

Same here.  Still too much salt on the road for me.  Have to wait for a couple good rain storms after the last snow to get all the salt off the roads.  Good news is at least I have the windshield company coming tomorrow to replace my windshield so it could be driven again!

Awesome... I'll bet you're as eager as I am to get out there... Mine still has to be wet sanded and buffed, but not until April (which THANK GOD is right around the corner!!)

Well Jeff, I hate to be the one to break the bubble here  :lol: but according to my source which is a very good one and is 99% right all the time on things  :icon_smile_blackeye: (me the  :icon_smile_blackeye: for not listen). My source told me the other day that we still have more snow coming yet before the month is done. So if your buddy is telling you the same thing, I think you should listen  :lol: as I know I am now with my resource.  Even though we got nice weather right now, I know there is something coming yet and besides they are calling for rain and snow Wensday  :shruggy: . Spring is almost here man  :2thumbs:
