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.

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?

I got tickets to the Bulls game at 7:30pm. Will be free from 3-5pm. Let's do it! That is if there is no snow coming down. My 8 is covered and garaged.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

I would love to be in AZ. Now! Order one and I will drive it out there! We can negotiate the delivery charge. (And the Tip).


They don't make em like here down there. Lucky you! No Snow!
