    I drive the F150 if it's raining or nice out, the '84 if it's snowing. Because plow truck!

    I usually drive the couch if it's snowing, or the snowmobile. Because telecommute!

    Not an option for me; I'd have to install a land line. Besides, taking the plow truck means that it's all warmed up and ready to plow when I get home. No wading across the driveway to clean it off first, just drop the plow and go!

    Lol. I don't think so. It would even do it when I was at a light.


    I honestly think they make the arms like 1 or 2 mm's skinnier than what the replacements are or something. They are just loose enough so that wiggle around a bit

    That's exactly what the Bosch Icons do that on my Ford. The Napa blades seem to do well.

    Prob 245 width tires though right? Mine came with 245s stock but the previous owner put 295 out back and 255 up front. The car will blow 245s off as fast as you want to.

    I have TDSTelecom. There is no cable on my street but for some reason there is fiber. I have 100gig service, it's crazy fast.

    But the 245's are what you'll want for winter if you want that car to go anywhere in the snow. Studded 245's could be fun with that car!

    X2. Skinny mini's are the way to go for snow. A longer, narrow contact patch generally gives much better snow traction than a short wide one

    And if you stud them, you can lay down sparky burnouts. :burnrubber:

    100 gig? There is no way anyone would provide that to a home, at least not at prices anyone could afford. The largest of enterprises might have that as a backbone, but probably more realistically only have 1 gig or 10 gig. I run six buildings and 2000 users with half a gig.

    Probably either 100meg or 1gig.

    My truck snows are 245s. They bite great. Feels like I am on rails most of the time.

    Hey Fellas - Finally home from the hospital this evening! Still whooped and can't walk very well without stopping for a breath or two but I'll take what I can get. This was evidently a close one. I came very, very close to being on a ventilator. At least that's over so now it's look forward and get back my strength.

    Did I miss anything good?

    Jesus Christ man, glad to hear you're ok! Pneumonia can be pretty scary!

    Not sure how long you've been away. Were you here when I almost burned my truck down?
