baby's first snow
I mean really... they are our babys...right?
This was taken this morning with my cell... so pardon the crappy pic. It handles great in the snow, stops good, but taking off is a PITA! Whoever said Posi is good in the snow needs to drive a posi truck then an open diff truck one after the other... open diff wins HANDS DOWN. Ended up with about 5 inches in my part of town.

Re: baby's first snow
I love snow- especially when it's somwhere else and I don't have none
 I'm on the other side about the posi- I've only had a few trucks without them, I hated them. I'd cuss the one wheel wonders regularly. I get all bent out of shape when you can't move even when one wheel is on dry pavement. I admit it takes some getting used to, a change in driving technique. You should try my '72 sometime- locker in the rear, trac- loc in front. Sometimes to get around a corner on ice, I'll stop, crank the wheels & punch it to coax it to turn. If I can keep the truck pointed in the right direction, it will go like hell thru 'bout anything

Re: baby's first snow
Hey Andy...Geeeeee I missed all the snow?
 I am down in Tim Christians neck of the woods and it is upper 50's today.  I am so sad that I missed all that cold stuff. NOT!! My wife said they were in a level 2 in the Zanesville area so she stayed home. I would luv to see snow just before Christmas and just after Christmas . Now that would be

Re: baby's first snow
Snowed all day here,about 5" too.It started around 7 and is still coming down slightly.They were calling for no measurable accumilation.It`s really no big deal,guys.At least hold your whining until you actually are in the snow,sheesh.You wussies are mopin`about it and you`re all warm.
Andy,you inspired me to go snap some pics.

Re: baby's first snow
Burby, the red-doored burb
had a very shiny door And if you ever saw him, you would even say what for?. All of the other burbans used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Burby join in any burnout games Then one rainy September day Andy came to say: "Burby with your door so bright, How bout we go cross country tonight?" Then all the burbans loved him as they burned out with glee, Burby the red-doored burb, you've gone down in internet history! |

Re: baby's first snow
Ugh it is that time of year isn't it! We haven't seen anything measurable yet this yeah though. Mid 60's yesterday, mid 40's when I got off work this afternoon. One or the other NOT BOTH!

In My Rusty Chevrolet Down The Road I Go Sliding All The Way I Need New Piston Rings I Need Some New Snow Tires My Car Is Held Together By A Piece Of Chicken Wire Chorus: Rust And Smoke The Heater's Broke The Door Just Blew Away I Light A Match To See The Dash And Then I Start To Pray The Frame Is Bent The Muffler Went The Radio It's Ok Oh What Fun It Is To Drive This Rusty Chevrolet 2. I Went To The Iga To Get Some Christmas Cheer I Just Passed Up My Left Front Tire And Its Getting Hard To Steer Skidding Down The Highway Right Past The Negaunee Cops I Had To Drag My Swampers To Get The Car To Stop (repeat Chorus) 3. Bouncing Through The Snowdrifts In A Big Blue Cloud Of Smoke People Laugh As I Drive By I Wonder What's The Joke I Got To Get To Shopko To Pick Up The Layaway Cause Santa Claus Is Coming Soon In His Big Old Rusty Sleigh |

Re: baby's first snow
I flew in to Detroit this weekend and drove up to central Michigan....it snowed 5" on Saturday night! It was great, but I was able to leave it and come back here to Texas, where it was 70 degrees at 11:00 PM when I got back

Re: baby's first snow
Andy, i have driven many years in minnesota winters with a posi in my 70. Once you are used to driving it, you wouldn't go back to a one legger. A little bit of weight in the rear doesn't hurt either.
