Funny!!!
You would have to put the wheels back on it to go for a ride!!!
Doug, you wouldn't have any trouble driving your Z in the snow; if you stayed be hind me.

Come on Frank who are you kidding, 95% of New Yorkers dont need snow to compete for idiot of the year honors. All they need is the alarm clock to go off in the morning.
Anyway 90 df here in sunny Mexico.
Drink plenty of water Robert .

I just sit here and snicker.... We've had around 3' here from storm after storm starting in late Dec. My snow blower is about worn out and this is only it's second season!

Just blew about a foot out of the driveway here in Southern Ontario. Guess I shouldn't complain since it's the first significant fall we've had since 2009, but I'd sure trade it for one of the southern states.
Good luck to brothers in New England. Your forecast looks aweful.
I would gladly take 2ft of snow or 6"+ of rain here in Oklahoma. We are bone dry after 2 years of severe drought.

I would bring you some, but it wouldn't make it that far in the back of my pickup.

So far plenty of rain here.

I thought there was a "Snow Shovel Option" in the RPOs.
I was looking for the SSO .
Maybe it's a different one.

Snowing like hell with lots more to come, power's out, 45 knot
winds and "snow thunder and lightning"!
Don't like the New England weather???
Wait a minute, it'll change, for the worse...
Not to worry, the Zs safely tucked away under it's snuggy
cover in the garage, dreaming of blasts to redline and
the warm weather to come!

Not my ZR-1 but my 94 LT1 just before I bought the Z. Snow in the south is so rare I couldn't resist the urge to take some photos in the driveway before putting her back in the garage ... probably would have done the same with the Z, too.

My 92 Roadster and 95 Coupe were daily drivers back in Chicago. They were driven in the snow quite often.

Well, I'm thinking about doing a write-up for the next HOB Newsletter. It's kind of technical though and can't really be abreviated into just one post here.
Actually, I was just poking at Scottfab one day while discussing some technical issue. Can't even remember what it was about. LOL

Still snowing and blowing. Couple feet in places, but blowing alot. Lights are still on, thank goodness.

0700 ... power's still out! 23 degrees outside 55 inside
Maybe 15 inches of snow, it's still falling and only 25 knot winds now!
Guess I'll have to lite off the generator to keep the bride happy
then snowblow the driveway so I can get he Z out...

Naah ... you're thinking bugles ... and a bugle as large as a tuba/sousaphone would be ugly. The horn pictured is a recycled (i.e. giveaway) sousaphone given to me many years ago. We've used it as a mail box, yard art, and it's currently serving as a planter with ivy all around the base and flowers out the bell. I've been saving several brass instrument bells including a huge sousaphone bell with the idea of assembling a tiered water fountain for the back yard ... too many other projects so haven't gotten around to building it. Needless to say we have a number of tuba (and other musical) related memorabilia hanging around the house & yard ... not sure if it's great art but it never fails to strike up a conversation, especially with first time visitors to our home.
No snow here today ... supposed to be sunny and mid-sixties ... might have to go for a drive and see if I can manage some triple bursts.

Well, the snow came and went not a problem with the Honda snow blower Jennifer and the kids bought me last year for Christmas. However the furnace quit on me! Woke up yesterday morning and it was 55 degrees in the house!
Had to buy a new furnace (Trane) and decided to upgrade the air conditioner at the same time. We got almost 27 years out of the original furnace and air conditioner. House back up to "normal" temperature and can't wait until summer when I can chill this place down.
Home ownership is a wonderful thing. :cheers:
