How ya all dealing with a snow?

Enjoying it I suppose?


Started snowing here at bout 2 pm or so.
I got my quad out and went to get some gas, laughed at ppl that were getting stuck all over the place.

Got some gas and GTFO from the gas station before cops showed up.

Then my bro (lives in puyallup) calls me up and invites to his house.

I say Fuck it....get my G out and go to Puyallup.

Haul ass 45-50 mph on 167 and 512 (Toyo T1R front and Vredestein rear)
Fucking G is a champ.

Got to my brothers around 6:30 (was only 30 minutes drive) hung out till bout 10. Went outside to find another 2-3 inches of snow on the car.

My other brother showed up in RX 350 AWD so he starts laughing at me and telling me that I'm not gonna be able to move cuz the snow is actually deep enough for my NISMO to serve as a snow plow.

So we decide to go to his house with him following me just in case I get stuck.

So I pull the G out of the driveway and plow my bros street a little with my Nismo.
Drove to my brothers house without any issues. The only down side is that Nismo kept on throwing show on the windshield.

So I made it without problems to my other brothers house (Also in Puyallup)

It's awesome outside and we decide to go back to Pacific (that's where I live) to get my quad and do some snowboarding.

We grabbed my bros truck and head out.

Roads are terrible. Snow is everywhere. We made the drive without any issues.

Loaded up the quad and went back to Puyallup. (it was midnight already)

Got to Puyallup my bro got his snow board on and I strapped my self to a quad and we let that fucker rip for bout an hour terrorizing the neighborhoods at 1 am

It starts raining ice.
shit freezes up instantly.

So we go in the house and pop some wood in the fireplace.
Get all warmed up, drink some hot tea and at about 3 am I decide that it's time go to home.

Went outside the get the status report on road conditions and find out that it's all covered in thin layer of ice.

So my bro tells me to take his truck home instead of G so I would not call him in case I get stuck on the way home.

As a result..........here I am at 3:40 AM back at my house and my G all frozen and lonely in Puyallup.

Gonna get her tomorrow and bring her home.

Took some pix in the snow, I'll post them tomorrow.

Here is the pic of the truck.

Well. I'm finally home with the G.

After another day of snowboarding on the local streets I took the G home (from Puyallup to Pacific)

What a ride it was.

Freeways are all Fucked up by the chains. Impossible to drive.

Snow was so deep on my street that I decided to do a good deed for my neighbors and plow it with my G


RESULTSbiggthumpup:





I knew that I'll be pushing a wall of snow by the time I get to my house and I did not want it to end up in the garage. So I went pass the garage so I can back into it.........BAD IDEA.

G just would not do it
So I had to shovel the snow from the driveway.



After that my wife got in the car and with a help of 280 hp and ONE man power we got the G in the garage.

Tito, I am just playing with stuff. I am doing it eye. Just tweak here and there. Not sure if I am doing a good job at it, but I am liking the results. Any tips let me know. I think I need a better lens.
