!!----r o a d t r i p----!!

Went on a snowboarding trip this weekend from Chicago to Devil's Head in Wisconsin.

Met a Speed3 along the way.

Had to stop at numerous gas stations to fill up.

Really glad the snow tires were on there.

Probably needs a car wash.

Here's some pics from the trip =)!!----r o a d   t r i p----!!-163440_537415169074_54302404_31298706_3030079_n.jpg

Trip looks fun.

Snow tires are a must.

Definitely need a wash.

the last ~10 miles were steep, snow-covered hills and turns...we were really impressed at the traction it had.

we tried to fit 178 skis through the trunk pass-through, but they would have interfered with shifting...we were able to fit three 6' guys though!

It has a really nice setup with different skill levels. Most of the people left when it got dark, so I was able to practice more.

The tires are Dunlop Graspics.
