Tou, are you sure that is yours, or did you just find the pics on 8th Gen or the internet and show them as your own? BTW, if you really have a turbo, mad props to you. If you don't, we will want to have a chat with you at our first meet next spring.

Well, my Integra died on me today for good. Had to drive my Si in this absolutely crappy weather. Car is full of salt and slush. Talk about the oh-noes. The car has only been rained on twice, so having to take it out in this weather made me shed a tear. I want to cry just looking at how dirty it is in the garage right now. Those of you who know me and Joshua know how anal we are about our Si and G35.

I know how you feel Bill. A white car in this weather is an atrocity. I feel bad every time I look at my car. Salt and sand all over the outside and inside.

Jeremy, are you guys getting the snowstorm we are getting here in the cities? It is really nasty out. Driving is horrible.

Well I hear back in Roch my family is expecting around 10 inches. Here in Winona, it's coming down pretty thick/heavy. I'd say maybe 4-5 inches have com down so far, but it's all slushy/heavy snow. I got stuck in the walmart parking lot and some guy had to push me out.

Damn, I hate winter. It would be a bit better if our snow removal service actually removed the snow after four days but that would make them look too competent and we might begin to expect it...

'Tis sad Shane. Two FBP FA5's that look more Taffy White than Fiji Blue. Mine is a complete mess right now.

My car has been filthy dirty since they first put salt down, right after i wash it, gets dirty again.I have had a winter beater for the last 7 years and have been able to store my car, my winter beater died last summer, so I am stuck driving my SI in this crap. I still may consider a beater though. Also, I have found out this car is worse than I thought it would be in the snow and I know it is the tires.
