Yep, time to replace those summer wheels with the rims you don't mind getting corroded/scratched/mucked up in the winter sludge!

omg....snow..it's coming soon!!

Hey, if you live in the Carolinas or further south, there's no snow, and the humidity isn't as bad. Unfortunately I live in Maryland, where there's just enough snow to annoy me, and enough humidity to kill an elephant

Hehe, i've been to DC in the Summer and Winter months. Let me tell you, in the Summer, we've driven from DC to Florida. Humidity isn't bad? ha! It gets worse as you go further south.

No doubt it is sometimes worse down there, but my family lives in SC, and the humidity is quite a bit lower there than in the mid-atlantic, generally speaking.

come on who doesnt love a fun filled time of doughnuts? sleding snowball fights?

[NaptownSolara]

Don't get me wrong. There's definately something awesome about sitting inside by the fire or having snowball fights, etc. but when I have to go to work regardless of the weather, and have to drive in 3-4 inches of brownish sludge that makes my car look like crap (don't even get me started on the salt afterward), it's like getting hit in the face with "the reality stick"

Agreed. New England winters can make for a very dirty Solara. I unfortunately park my car outside, no garage, and between cleaning off the snow, scraping off the ice, then navigating the slippery parking lots, it's all something I don't want to put my car through.

i'm jealous!! i don't even get a driveway! my sister has senority so i get the street...i don't know what i'm gonna do when it comes to snow plowing..one thing for sure..i'll have to leave the house like an hour bef i have to start driving..

5mins to navigate down the stairs trying not to fall on ice!
another 5mins to walk to where the car is taking baby steps so you don't fall
5mins trying to climb the massive snow bank that my car is now surrounded by on at least 2 sides
30mins to dig thru the great wall of china enough that i can get out
5mins to clean the car off..cause you know those plows aim to get as much gunk as possible as high up the windows as they can..and then it freezes on like super glue!!

and of course..just when you think you're done...and you go to get into the car to leave and go (mind you you can't feel your fingers anymore, you're nose is running, but you can't wipe it b/c you can't feel your fingers to get out a tissue, and all you want is to be warm and remember when you still knew you had toes!) guess what you hear??

the beautiful sound of a plow coming around the corner.

and of course they aim for you and your car and you now have a mini great wall of china to shovel again..another 10mins..then of course a 5min drive will take about 20mins...uggg

oooo...and if it's your lucky day..the plows will get ya 3times in a row in one day!! and you swear you can see the driver in his rearview mirror snickering at you as you just stare w/ your mouth down..oooo..the fustrations of shoveling new england snow storms.


my poor rims are going to be nasty by the end of the winter..i have visions of sliding into the curb every time i park ohhh..or someone fishtailing on the street and slamin into my parked car

[ericatdallas]

lol. that's why I love Dallas. The entire city shuts down at the possibility of snow. Last year I remember the news reported light snow (50% chance) and the VP sent everyone home! lol! That was cool!

It didn't snow that day...

[NaptownSolara]

Missay, I'd tell your sister to get off her fat butt, get a job and move out if I were you, then you have the garage to yourself!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA

lol..she did that once for 6months but then came back and of course i got the car shortly there after which means if i had gotten it just a couple of months sooner then i would have gotten the spot!

[ultramookie]

Oooh...I guess even the system admin can learn some stuff too! I just read the FAQ and found out that Usergroups can have private forums all for themselves

So, I think that would be awesome for each regional group!

Anyhoo, everyone want to start listing regions they'd like to have regional usergroups for?
