And word to the wise, instead of spending 5 min making a sweet ass STi hood scoop, dig the car out more...LOL The extra horsepower of the scoop does'nt help, nor does it give you 4WD.
Really? huh, I always thought that when I taped on the scoop on my Focus STI it made it AWD...
shitass

Man, i had to drive from Minneapolis at midnight to the east side, got drunk dropping the couple lady friends off at their houses, damn if they both dont live at the bottom of big hills. Then, i got to my street, no on ehad driven on it, so i had to shovel a two track path all the way down to my garage. Got stuck about 4 or 5 times that night. 35W was a single track road, 61 hadnt even been touched, on 694 i drove behind a lowered Audi that was plowing for me, I have no idea how my CAI filter didnt fall off!!!

This wasn't bad at all, The big fat Windstar flys right through it. I had to run up 35W last night and I passed everything on the road.
When it was -15 a couple weeks ago we had the Cub scouts winter campout down in Cannon Falls, It was great. We were outside all day Saturday and it never got above -10 and about -35 windchill depending on what activity you were doing.
You should hear the guys down South and in other warmer climates when I tell them about the weather here.
Anyone that can deal with this climate and handle a snow like this without hitting something or driving into a ditch should be proud.
It really does take a certain kind of insane masochistic person to live here on purpose though

Goodness snow sucks...My car was stuck so a guy helped me tow it out with his GMC and well the radiator support was the spot he hooked the mount to...so I am going to be buying a new radiator support from Steve this week...at least I am able to rig it up so I can get back home...It's exciting when you go to Walmart to get a strap cord to hold half of the radiator up ha ha....grumble...

The guys that plow our lot just kept piling the snow up next to my car. None of the bastards in my building can park, so there were 2 almost-spots in the lot. I was finally able to move my car into the lot yesterday, but it took about 15 minutes to get it out of my spot on the street. My wife was wondering where the hell I went. I've got to say, these Ecsta ASTs really make me wish I was driving my snow-equipped XR this winter.
Hey Steve, were you guys at Cannon River? I used to do almost all my OA conclave stuff there and that's where my dad did a lot of his Woodbadge stuff. It's been a while since I've been there, but last month would have been a great time for a Zero Hero.

about 13" to 16" in the north metro, with snow drifts of up to 2 feet, but that didn't stop the focus I am a true believer of snow tires and what they can do. My neighbor was like your gonna get that thing stuck, I bet him $20 i'd make it into my driveway and into the garage, needless to say I was $20 richer after that.
