You can live vicariously though a short ride in my 66 beater on new years day

Great pic! I can't wait to get mine out and run her in the snow.
How deep was that?

We got about 3 inches. That's actually a video if you click on it, it should load.

FetchMeAPepsi · 01-03-2013, 10:44 PM

It just takes me to photobucket. Still it's a good still-shot.
Looks like a heck of a lot more than 3 inches

Try this one. It should take you to photobucket, then start playing the video. You shouldn't need an account to view it, I made it public.

Brought back memories of growing up in Maine as a kid - thanks for the video!

nice drive, I love snow but we dont get much here. I'd drive my truck in the winter but it never seems to be here, always under the knife.

what was that ding dong flashing his lights at?

Hey jdl71, I didn't realize someone was so close to my neck of the woods as you are (I'm between Springfield and Rogersville) Good video, can't stand to not drive mine either in the winter!

I've got family that lives in Eldon and the Iberia area. Cool video, truck sounds good!

I think the woman at the light was doing her makeup and didn't notice the light turned green. We honk and flip the bird up here for that. lol

Realnoisy · 01-04-2013, 10:39 AM

Cool video! No pun intended.

I always thought of Idaho as a nice place.

Down here honking and flipping (or various other rudeness) can get ya shot.

Some NY kid did that about two months ago to an old guy that wasn't driving fast enough for him. The kid parked at a department store thinkin it was all over. Got out with his GF and BLAM BLAM. The old guy pasted him right in the parking lot.

I cant wait till I am old enough to claim temporary senility. I pulled into a parking lot from a busy street behind a truck and got stuck halfway because the jagoff pulled in at 2mph and must have been scared of that speed. I tooted my horn at him, not a BEEEEEEEEEP but just a BUP BUP like "hey I am here, pease hurry up before I get creamed" and he slowed down and hung a bird out the window. It took all of my willpower not to cram my car up his tailpipe and sit for an hour to let the cops sort it out while I just laughed at him like that old lady in fried green tomatoes.

FetchMeAPepsi · 01-05-2013, 01:17 AM

Heh, you have a temper like me in my younger days. My big thing was getting out at red lights and turning down the radios in cars when they were "booming" bass like idiots.
I'd just reach across them through the open window and turn it down, sometimes take the knob.
I don't mind you booming driving down the road, but in a neighborhood or at a stoplight have a little respect for others. There's kids around most times.

Inconsiderate bastages. It's a wonder I never got shot myself.

It still ticks me off but now I just shake my head and pray for a flood and a boarding call from the Ark.

Anger management anyone?
