So, who's driving what this winter?

Any unfortunate people who have to suffer through the winter in a 3rd gen? Or should I say, any unfortunate 3rd gens that have to suffer through the winter? (secretly begins making a list of cars NOT to buy) j/k

The abombinal snowman returns for it's last year in the snow. Hopefully by next year i'll have my V8. But for now the slowmaro will sport the snow-tires for now. And if all else fails, I'll hail a dog sled team (mush-mush!)

I crack the whip on the Pimpin 94 Conversion Suburban in the winter and bag the Camaro until warmth returns........Unless my Camaro is road ready and we get a nice day in January and I have to "check" someone's attitude

i'll be driving my 98 SS again this winter unless i crack the whip and sell it to buy a 4x4 grand cherokee...not sure how it's going down yet. But regardless, it's been lowered some and i'm not looking forward to winter even though i'm sporting a full set of snow tires, still too much of a hassle.

If not .....where's a dog sled team at when you need one?

Camaro's been put in the garage for the winter. Picked up a 95 Jeep Cheroekee about 6 weeks ago. At least I have a 4x4 for the winter. I drove my 1st Camaro for 5 winters. The last 3 were a little difficult with the 3.73's and the 50 series wheels. Nothing like that unexpected donught when you're trying to take a turn.

I'm driving a 93' Escort. Not even a LX, or GT. just the ol' base hatch. Cheap to drive, cheap to maintain as long as I don't let my sister drive it.

In my opnion using a long stick with a juicy steak tied to the end of it, dangling in front of your car will attract a pack of hungry animals, just idle forward and they'll follow you while their jaws are tugging the meat. OR just go to a near by honda dealer and tell the General manager for $50 he can strap up a few civics and pull you to where you need to go

Just a thought

Hey, Steve are you gonna be workin on the beast? I'll be free if you need any help.

My trusty yet rusty '83 C10.

As some of you may remember my '92 got totalled out this spring. Since then I bought a '72 Camaro and I was going to use the '92 as a beater with a heater. That didn't work out.

One of the tail light sockets has grounded out and keeps blowing fuses. The only way to get the tail light out (as far as I can tell) is to bust it out. The quarter panel wrapped itself around the light.

So now I can't drive it at night.

Anywho... here's a simulation pic of the truck.

There's a pic?

That thing must be pretty bad if the pic makes it look better than it is.

I am driving my Formula for the 9th year in a row. Next year she will get redone, I will have a truck by winter next year. Anyway my '83 TA is already tucked in for the winter while the LT1 is being built for her.

The damaged 86 IROC has a new spot in the neighbor's garage instead of the drive way, and the 89 IROC is in the garage now. What I am driving this year is up in the air either the 89 IROC or what ever the parent will let me use, 2000 grand prix or 96 grand caravan.
