Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas!!!

 

Merry Christmas! Just got off work. Got some cash monies for Christmas. Tires, wheels and a Regear are that much closer :0

 

Lugged this thing down the zig zag

 

Drove up to Sacramento yesterday. Saw a nice tx pro. Plate said ourtrd anyone on here ?

 

Finally went and played for a few minutes in the snow.... I really wanted to slap the shit outta some of those drivers up there though. They're stupid and don't know how to drive. I'm havin no problem doin 40 mph and some dude is doing a CRAWL at 5 mph down the middle of the road, wouldn't let anyone pass on a downhill. Then we get out of the snow all together, just a wet road with a little slush and people are still doing 10 mph! UGGGGHHH people. It was icy in a couple places but overall not that bad.

 

Done at work! There was a cafe open nearby so I picked up chicken rice soup and a really great cup of coffee. Yay!

 

mmmm^^^coffee sounds good right now

 

Peet's was closed but Cafe Trieste was open til 2PM! I *think* Starbucks is open but you said you wanted good coffee...

I feel kinda blah but I promised myself long ago that if I'm going to be alone for holidays then I might as well work 'em. Extra money for me, keeps me busy, and means my coworkers with spouses, kids, or nearby family can have the day off!

 

Saw the new Tarantino movie. It was pretty good.

 

I would have killed for something from Trieste. Had to settle for the 'bucks

 

Not even starbucks was open around me today, that sucks

 

It's OK. They do it in the rain too...45 down 101 in the #2 lane. Peeps are passing on both sides and the guy won't move. Oh yeah, lifted Tahoe...big bro tires.

 

drove from Fremont back to walnut creek, people were doing 40, i was hauling ass in the carpool lane with my fam splashing pools of water it was awesome!

 

i can only imagine how City drivers, who often drive poorly in the rain, handle the big scary snow when they head up in hordes to the ski areas

 

Was that shots fired?

I suppose you're right, but the least they can do is stay the hell out of the way of the people who do know how to drive. Living in New England definitely got me used to driving in this kinda stuff. The whole winter the roads are ice and snow pack, and no one drives 10 mph thats for sure... lol. Keep it in low gear and don't touch the brakes, you'll slow down much faster

 

Hey Nor Cal, Happy Holidays everyone! My first post in the NC forum. I go by JT and I live in the Bay Area.
I have to agree with those who were up in snow country over the holiday. Traffic and driving by some was simply horrible. I went up to our place in Truckee last week, right before the storms hit. After a couple of days of epic snowfall I managed to dig out for some playing around in the powder. I was fairly impressed with the Taco's snow abilities. The traction/braking systems work well within their parameters. In bumper deep powder, truck in 4low I made it out of our burried driveway and up onto plowed roadway. I did some driving around Truckee Donner area. After being "snowed in" it was good to be out and seeing all the fresh powder and going somewhere.. Anyway I had to be back in the Bay area for Christmas and it was snowing pretty good when I left.. I-80 westbound was a parking lot so I headed over old Donner Pass, hiway 40 and bypassed most of the traffic. Back on I-80 the snow was as bad as I have ever seen it all the way down to around the 3000 ft. level before it became slushy rain. Made it home safely, Christmas etc. ONLY to be hit by some wanna be race driver in a Beemer on my way to work this morning!!

Here's a pic at Old Donner Pass Rd neer Cisco Grove

 

Welcome!!! Sucks about the stupid Bimmer hitting you. Any damage? Also, you talked about 4 low, I hope you're not runnnig on the highway in 4 low.
