Was just driving home in the altima that my family has, and i went to make a left turn onto my street.... and.... then the entire car started to spin. Honestly if it wasn't for Gran Turismo 3 i think i would have crashed. Well thats what you get when you drive in a snow storm in chicago! Good thing i dont have an 8 right now... the RWD would have been a bit different.

I need one of these .....

RX Renesis

u'll want the FQ400 of that....

Nah- I was out tonight enjoying the white stuff in my 8- I can't wait until tomorrow to play around in the daylight. We're supposed to get about a foot up here in the northern burbs :D

Audioslave8

It hasnt stopped snowing all day.... cant wait to drive my s4 around in this.

PaulieWalnuts

Actually the real heavy snow is supposed to start between 9-10PM and not let up until tomorrow afternoon sometime. My wife thinks her work may call a snow day it'll be so bad.

Audioslave, where you at?

Hey G8rboy, what tires do you have?

Audioslave8

Im in buffalo grove, hopefully my school will be cancelled, i go to stevenson.... it hasnt had a snow day in 4 years so i doubt it.

oh man, i took my 8 to school today (in chicago). Not the smartest thing ive done in a while. To make a long story short, I got stuck a total of 9 times, swirved about 3 times, one of those I almost hit a post, another time a car. I guess i should have listened about the snow tires. Well, im driving the jetta tom.

btw
whos gray rx8 is that on western by burger king
what about the gray one always parked at aj's in joliet
and I also saw a black one driving on kingery rd in joliet

^ RWD without snow tires is scary, my moms got a lexus SC430 without snow tires, drove it yesterday before there was tons of snow on the ground, and i was sliding all over

I went to stevenson back from 94-97 (i left for TX in 97 and graduated down here).
In 96, we had something better than a snow day, flood days! 2 of the larger water pipes on the first floor (the one that is half way underground) blew and flooded the school for like 10 days in the middle of winter. Lol. It was fun

Audioslave8

^ wow that is really funny, a few weeks ago a pipe exploded in the boys bathroom, they didnt cancel school tho :/ Do you remember any of your teachers, there are some that have been there for a real long time.

G8rboy

It's starting to pile up here- about 7-8" so far in the driveway. I've got Dunlop Wintersport M2's... they're good, but not perfect (M3's are supposedly better). I wonder if I can put a snowplow attachment on the front and do my neighbors' driveways

Hmm.. lessee..
freshman year, i remember a spanish teacher named ms. dan. She was like my age back then or younger, and a nympho..
bio teacher was mrs karlin. she went to new trier tho.
algebra 2 honors was mr. oliver.. he was a dork
intro to cs was mr vanderwahl.. he died when i was a senior of heart failure..
art 1 was mrs ackerman... she was cool..
art 2 was mrs fairman.. she was eh..
computer art (i liked art classes.. sue me :b) was mrs huntoon. she'd probably remember me because i taught the entire class how to use photoshop
drafting 1 i had mr. johansen..
hmm.. lotsa teachers.. dont remember the name of my freshman english teacher..
sophmore year i had bill fritz (we called him bill.. he's super gay.. and i learned nothing from him except how to mock teachers)
had mrs vreauls for spanish...
cant remember the name of my 2 geometry teachers (i changed classes) but i didnt like either of them
chemistry i had mr. kelly, he was cool back then
junior year i had mr. ward for english. he'd remember me as he was a wrestling coach and i managed to pin his head to my desk one day when he was messing around with me.. that was funny.
mr. martinez for spanish, the other wrestling coach.. he was funny as hell but a big dork.. i finished his 110 question final in 9 minutes and got an a.
i cant remember the name of my pre-cal teacher but i remember all she talked about was a positive mental attitude.. it got annoying..
physics i took with mr. carmichael. he probably doesnt teach physics anymore.

and i dont think i forgot anyone as i didnt go there for senior year.. i prolly had a few other electives in there but i avoided doing anything extra.. i took all my history classes in summer school tho so it didnt matter.

Audioslave8

I reconize a few names.... mr. johansen, mr fritz, martinez, and ward. I agree about fritz...hes not exactly straight lol He does drive a miata!

Mr. Ed's rx-8

7-8"...damn...if there is snow in the sky they shut down schools and business's here!!! everybody freeks out over some cold weather here to. half the news was about how cold its going to get here...28 degrees...that is friggin cold though!

Ajax

fritz was openly gay back then.. openly.. he had a gay pride flag on his wall and everything.

Audioslave8

28 degrees is nothin' about 2 weeks ago we were in the negetives, but luckily i was on a cruise in the caribbean.

Ajax

oh yea.. pre-cal teacher's name was layco.. mrs. layco.. what were those other 2 named.. i cant believe i remember this ****.

Ajax

gym teachers were bill mitz and mr. farrisy or some crap.. i had that really big guy for health.. he was also the baseball coach..

Audioslave8

Mitz and Farrisy are still around, Farrisy was my gym teacher last year. Oh and i noticed you just hit your 1000 post!

PaulieWalnuts

The ambient temp gauge in my car was -2 one morning. Not to mention the wind chill bringing it down to a comfy -15. Now THAT'S friggen cold.

Ajax

yea.. i just noticed that too..

Audioslave8

Ajax, when you were at stevenson how many buildings were there?

Ajax

uhm, they built the east building while i was there.. it was the main building and the new building with the huge auditorium and the rotating theatre sections back then.. 2 pools (they closed the old one I heard)..

Audioslave8

They now have only one pool, they are now working on a huge addition to the link, the school is huge. During the summer they built another addition.

Ajax

ahh yea.. the link.. jeez.. it's gonna be gigantic..

but it's 4000-5000 students for 4 grades
my high school here for senior year was 3300 students.. for 2 grades..

1700 in my senior class..

EDIT: high schools here are split into High school and "Senior" high school.. freshman-sophmore at 1 school.. junior-senior at another.. some even have 8-10th at 1 school..
