No...but in a few years, I'll still have a rust free MINI. I doubt the salt will allow you to say the same

Your ride...even with snow shoes...would never make it out of my driveway.

Pirelli Sotto Zeros. Highly recommended for non-mountain use.

Three winters and no signs of rust. If you can't drive it, why buy it?

We have days like that too.

I don't see that Jeep goin' anywhere either.

Drop tops just don't cut it in snow. And it's not my driving that worries me. It's the idiots who drive the dozen or so cars I see in the ditches on every commute after a snowstorm.

Yep...it was 4' that day. I couldn't get anything through.

I put ~15 to 20K a year on all three of my cars. I don't think driving them is an issue.

Each car serves a purpose...and the verts place when the flakes land, is in the garage. And I'm pretty hard core...I'll drive with the top down in 47 degree temps (46 is my limit though).

Absolutely, dcstep! Enjoy the car for driving...if it can drive in the stuff, do it!

I had a CRD Libby and (stupidly) high-sided myself on a rather large pile of firm, heavy snow thinking I was "Trail Rated invincible". Anything can get stuck in bad enough conditions...

Cheers
D.

p.s. Beautiful shot of the stars!!!

That looks good!

Here's my drink of the evening:

Hoppin' Frog by mkrepp, on Flickr

M_Six · 10-22-2011, 08:15 PM

Ugh, I tried pumpkin brew once. Not my kind of swill.

Sweet bokeh, though. What are those lights?

Now this stuff is another story. Your post from a few weeks ago with a nice IPA sent me on the hunt for a good IPA from Friar Tuck's. This stuff is very good.

Honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed with this one. Everything else I've had from Hoppin' Frog has been phenomenal, but this one is just meh.

I have a weird fascination with taking pictures of the beers/scotch that I'm drinking. The lights are just Christmas lights that I strung up about 5 feet behind the beer on the wall. The lagunitas IPA is pretty good. Have you had their Hop Stoopid?

Who you callin' Stoopid???!!!

J/K

No, I haven't. Should I? I bet Friar Tuck's has it.

Haha, yeah, give it a try if you see it. It's a bargain for the price. Nice and hoppy. 102 IBU 4 U

Damn FridgeCam caught me again.

M_Six · 10-22-2011, 09:35 PM

Whoa, shooting pics at a buck-20? At night?

Cool shot. Glad I wasn't along for the ride, though. What lens? Or for that matter, what camera? Pretty sharp shot for such close proximity.

oneintheory · 10-22-2011, 09:40 PM

probably an 85. and the car is in park.

D'oh!! I was looking at the speedo wrong.

And I finally got the EXIF plugin working. You're right, an 85.

Gary, my faith in your sanity is restored.

Very nice shot.
