I didn't see any salt trucks during my commute this morning. Hopefully they keep them parked!! My plan is to head out early in the morning around 5.

 

im leaving my house about 1pm. The rain should have washed all the salt away by then.

 

man this weather is ridiculous. snow/sleet storm in mid-april?! i guess it's nothing surprising for chicago...but still. sucks.

haha

 

I know I know, but then I said rain, not snow.

Now I am even most excited to get out of here.

 

out my front door at 930am. Its been an hour and its still snowing hard....

I hate this.



Snow Advisory for me

NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING. MOTORISTS TRAVEL COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS... ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. STAY TUNED FOR LATER UPDATES.

 

Two hour drive into work this morning. That was FUN!!!! I was really contemplating driving the S2000 in today just to see how the Michellin Pilot Sport SP2s handle this stuff.

See you guys tomorrow....time is going to go by FAST as work today!

 

my commute was about 70 min, normally 45 min. i drove in with my brand new hankooks...no problem, as long as i was going the speed limit. hopefully no snow on the ground after work, though.

 

Woke up at 6 contemplated taking the 7 AM train. Fell asleep, missed the last train with a shuttle bus at 7:40, Decided to drive. Made it out of my neighborhood onto Route 120 Belvidere road. The road inclines EVER SO SLIGHTLY, and my car would not move. All the wheels would do is spin. Traction on, traction off, power mode, snow mode, VDIM, WTF CAN'T Move mode. No matter how slow I was on the throttle or hard, the car would not move. It was like I was trying to do a burnout. The back tires would break loose on the easiest feathering. Needless to say I was able to reverse and get traction. 3 point turned, down the incline, and crawled back home.

Took the 9 am train, had a cab waiting for me, and walked in the door at 10 AM....

I sure hope this slushy ice and crap is gone by tomorrow afternoon. I'm almost contemplating putting the blizzaks on and bringing the summers down if its still this bad.

Any of you guys drive your S today with S02's? I've never had such little traction before. I've got Dunlop SP Maxx on the IS, and they are absolutely dangerous to drive in the snow.

 

I'm going to pick up a fat chick and place her big butt on my wing for traction.
Then dump her off over the boarder when the roads get better.

 

Stop lying....you're not going to drop her off at the border. You'll bring her all the way down, get her drunk the first night, make out with her, and then fall in love.

I'll be throwing you a bachelor party in another couple of months where you'll be seeing things like a dual-head dong being used as a stage prop with two girls giving you a stage-dance.

Then a few months later, you'll marry her, find out that she's got three kids (all close to my age), and that she had to get her privates stapled a bit so that she doesn't swallow your member and you whole into the cavernous pit she has between her legs......

...ok, I'll stop. BTW, I can't wait to let some of this pent up energy out on the road tomorrow!
