View Full Version : Snowstorm in IL
Saw a Blue 8 w/ aftermarket rims trudging in the snow around Bode and Barrington this morning.. anyone from here? ;) .. winter tires must be nice!
i on the other hand, had the 8 in the garage while i drove the maxima through the snow.. hehe :cool:
Domer 01-06-2005, 09:43 PM If you'd seen a red 8 with black rims and Dunlop M3 Winter Sports on Barrington Rd, thats me. The 8 handled very well with winter tires this week.
09Factor 01-06-2005, 10:42 PM I really miss living in Il. I was watching WGN and they were @ Payton Hill interviewing the people out playing in the snow. Makes me homesick. :(
how much show has fallen in Chicago?
PaulieWalnuts 01-06-2005, 11:30 PM About 6" where I'm at. Sweet Home Chicago!
Where you at 09?
Dr. Rx 01-06-2005, 11:44 PM My Red 8 is also being garaged for the winter.

09Factor 01-07-2005, 09:54 PM Paulie,
I used to live in Naperville but now live in Az. It's funny to watch people out here drive in the rain. And within the last two weeks Flagstaff has had a total of two feet of snow. The local Ski area has received 55". For Az this is like the end of the world.
rx8group 01-08-2005, 04:16 AM 3:00-3:30 is cool for me! Where ? If it ain't snowing will bring the 8 otherwise it will be a stratus rental.

I lived in Naperville for about a year. They're building like crazy out there.
I didn't realize it snows in AZ. Yeah, I lived in Newport Beach, CA for a few years whenever it drizzled (rarely actaully rained) traffic would come to a crawl. I drive faster here in 3" of snow.
The warm weather lovers probably think you're crazy for being homesick. So what do you miss? Good pizza?
rx8group 01-23-2005, 02:38 AM Man what a storm! Saw an 8 stuck on the road on WGN TV News. Not too many on the roads. Anyone here?

whosyourbaba 01-23-2005, 03:33 AM nope, mines in the garage. Even my 6 didnt fair too well on friday, kept losing traction.
rx8group 01-23-2005, 04:00 AM I am so happy I bought a 4x4 Thursday!
:D No problems so far. Just a little slip sliding away. But it goes where I want to go.

alnielsen 01-24-2005, 07:50 AM Went to church with mine on Sunday morning. No problems.
I had to use the snowblower 3 times in this storm. We had about 12" out here.

mattmanp5 01-27-2005, 01:41 AM i saw a titanium today on my way to shoumberg by te palatine exit. a blonde lady driving it
Dr. Rx 01-27-2005, 02:26 AM Went to take my 8 out today before the snow hit. Haven't driven it in 3 weeks...been in garage whole time....come in the garage to see the trunk just slightly popped open....battery dead. Light inside trunk must have drained it. Oh well...i'll be jumpin it tomorrow to get it runnin.

Connies Pizza does have a online ordering system, and I miss the Chicago skyline.
Also the Drivers out here are from everywhere and don't know how to drive at all.

PaulieWalnuts 01-28-2005, 01:37 PM Don't forget about the sliders
09Factor 01-28-2005, 09:17 PM Mmmmm sliders. I really hate all of you!
Well not really.:p
Just to stir things up, The week end is looking like high 60's low 70's. Clear skies too.

I'll take you up on that offer.. Think you can have it here By sunday and join us for a drive? :D
PaulieWalnuts 01-29-2005, 10:32 AM hahaha. Go ahead and rub the weather in. It's 25 degrees here. Possible snow. I think it's time to go grab some fresh sliders hot off the grill. Maybe some onion rings too. Mmmmmm.
I soak up the warm weather with this web cam (http://www.walknet.net/mylife.shtml). The 2nd cam down is on the building next to where we lived.
