If this is dropped, it must have looked like a 4x4 previously.

More like busted driveway.

Pulled into someone's driveway for my friends to take pics of some tacky lights(If you're not familiar, there's a tacky lights "tour", for all the houses that have a lot of Christmas decorations. Of course, you can just find the places and drive there and whatnot.), and apparently it didn't want me pulling back out.

MS Addict. That pic makes me wonder why that road is so sloped. + I have a VR RX8 and a black DC2, so it's a cool pic.

Oh, it did.

It did.



I don't know how much I'll be driving my 8 in the snow this year though. Maybe just once for the fun of it, but since I work with my old man, and he's got a brand new F150, 4x4, guess who's been hitching rides, haha.
