    Good to hear. I'm amazed of this year's storm patterns. I'm working with a new customer in the MD area - they've been plowed over in snow. Here, lawns of brown grass. Bad for sleds, great for mosquito control. heh... I might go our and rake up same pine cones today. F'd up year.

    BTW - A vic? RWD? I grew up in Maine driving a Lemans, a Firebird, and some Camaros. Secret to control - lots of weight in the truck and keep the tranny in a lower gear, especially when descending. But more important - practice. Go find a parking lot and let the car slide and learn how to control it. Experience can't be beat.

    practice would be great...except we wont see snow like this again for 5-10 years

    im not too concerned with it

    i survived last night and its supposed to get up above 40* today with no clouds...so most of the crap should melt off by the time i go back into work tonite
