it's getting Cold.. post up!

[shmoo]

how's it going guys?
it's been terribly icy out the past couple of days here in beautiful texas, and naturally i had to take some pictures.

post up your pictures of your car in the frigid death, or your cows, or dogs in the frigidness.

went out for a drive, saw a steep hill, where i didn't see myself making it to the bottom without damaging my car. just as i decided it was time to turn around, i started to slide. luckily, we just ended up here. Perfect time for a picture or nine.

and the abyss that i was headed towards.

so, we turned around, where i saw another road that seemed intriguing. i was actually looking for an abandoned town and a cemetary, but never find it. but i did find this.

It was 83 and sunny down here in Miami today. I can post up some white sands and blue water pics, if you'd like? :glee2:

Got 4 inches of snow Friday, temp has been up and down. Some of it melted off yesterday, but then we got our low of 2 degrees F last night. It's still around 3-4 now.

Yesterday at the shop needing to push a car in.... I was thrilled.

Had to shovel a path and broom it off.... Didn't have anyone around to help push it in.

In the shop thawing out:

The roads are all skating rinks around here.... The thawing and re-freezing makes it pretty brutal.

[shmoo]

damn, i thought it was getting cold down here. i think our low for the past couple of days (even at night) was around 14 degrees farenheit. but i guess it is the south. hahhh

but hey, i'll be back in oregeon eventually. i'll be sure to get in contact with you.

by the way, is that white 3k yours too?

_isiah

[RealMcCoy]

Nope... Both those cars are builds I'm doing for norcal members. That's what I do with my weekends... Ensures that I never get a day off, or time to work on my own stuff. LOL

It's weird seeing more snow ice on the street than on the grass and mountains. Like it only snowed on the roads, lol that looks very slick.

It's a sign, it means stay out of the road and off the sidewalk when it rains :p

It's only a couple inches but winter has officially arrived in New England.

If you get down this way let me know and I'll get a few people together. Most TN3S people don't pass up a reason to drink (if they needed one). lol

i imagine you'll be the first to know if i'm ever in the general vicinity. realizing that missouri is in the general vicinity..

yeah, i need to be better about showing each 3s forum my love.

unfortunately for you, i have NO ugly christmas sweaters. only high quality stripped sweaters from the gap.haha..

Me too, I keep mine in the garage from October to April.

With all the the salt and stuff on the roads here the cars rot away in no time if you drive them during the winter.

[fastfalcon94]

I do garage the vr4 in my sig during winter, but my DD 3000gt I use fluid film on. It's really good stuff to protect from the salt.

what exactly is fluid film? and where do you find it?

can you just spray it up there, and call it a day?

_isiah

[fastfalcon94]

More or less. You need a special gun. Youtube it and you'll see lots of good stuff on it. Less than 1% VOC so even the post office can ship it. Some local autoparts stores sell it. About $36 a gallon which does 3 cars. Not harmful for environment, not toxic when spraying, doesn't drip, never dries up like oil undercoatings, not conductive so you can use it on battery terminals, not flamable so it's alright if you get some on the exhaust, can be used on plastic and even tires as tirewet etc.. I did about 10 different vehicles this year with it for friends/family.

Huge ice storm went through Vermont over the weekend. We lost power for a few hours this morning. Some places have been without power for over 48 hours now. It's still freezing rain/snowing right now. I can walk right on top of the snow/ice on my lawn without it crunching. I can even jump. I had well over an inch of ice on my vr4. It took me over an hour to chissel it all off. It took me about 10 minutes before I could even get the door open.
