    Well, with the Great Pumpkin coming up in two weeks, I have to ask the question what should I run.

    10/32nds or Shaved?

    Is it worth it to get them heat cycled?

    This was taken as of 30 minutes ago....

    Nice spinnerz on the trailer! I miss the snow sometimes, I spent five of my formative years in Gloucester Mass.
    Down here in NC 2 inches means a state of emergency!

    I'm totally thinkning you should run R6's

    I'd say, get them heat cycled less than five minutes before you go out!

    Ouch, that's ugly. Looks like a white hurricane. Well, it LOOKS pretty, but, the results can be ugly. Best of luck.

    And go with the best Hoosiers money can buy. Now is not the time to hold back.

    My neighborhood looks the same...

    "...Out Buffalo way..."

    We have no electricity, no heat, no water(pumping station lost power and you are advised to boil; however, unless you want to boil it on a barberque, good luck).

    Flood warnings to day!

    Good luck guys, I'm sure you have a nice cord of hardwood, saved up for just this occasion! It does look Beautiful however. Someone has some kind of power to be able to post, right, or is it the blackberry still charged up?

    I am just 2 minutes outside Buffalo, in Williamsville.

    Just happened to get really lucky with power and heat, still on for me.

    I do miss the seasons, but not that much. I'd be embarassed to have my race car out in the weather and still sitting on the trailer, though. Mine stays in a nice, warm garage so that I don't have to get my hands wet working on it.

    Only from May to October...then it goes down to a balmy 75. Secret is ceiling fans. Best thing is...it's dry and the car's on jackstands....most of the time. New house will have a detached shop, A/C, no lawn mowers, a larger mortgage, etc., a beer fridge, and a TV.

    You are right, I am humiliated that I am an independent college student that can only afford an apartment with a single stall heated garage. I am so ashamed of myself for my car being in snow. It got so wet when it melted. I can not beleive I allowed myself to let my car get wet, I am such a loser.
