  1. A big truck with a V-Plow should work nicely.......especially if you drive between the lanes like a motorcylce can
  2. Here's one of the pics I took today We finally finished after 6pm tonight....I then went upstairs and took a nap until dinner http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v698/bjoehandley/Random%20Photographs/Blizzard%202011/
  3. YIKES! At least they got out before it came down, looks like Godzilla fell on the place
  4. IIRC they'd have to change the front fenders and maybe hood too, I think the Daytona's used early production '70 Charger fenders.
  5. Well, the driveway and sidewalk is clear.....we broke the snow blower twice and maybe me now, but it's clear BTW for you local guys, the Sears parts center at Army Trail and Gary was closed today and the snow piled in front of the driveways were taller than my Cherokee
  6. Somebody posted this on RCCrawler.com last night.....it's pretty accurate And on to the pics............. Here's our front yard, like I said, I'm going nowhere! and the Neighbor's Dad's Ranger, I had been parked by it when I got home last night and that drift behind it was nearly a foot at 11pm last night when I was finally able to park in the back yard after 11pm Here's the back of my Jeep and my Sister's Charger, keep in mind the bottom of my back bumper is is well over a foot off the ground And a couple more of my back yard, keep in mind that the fence is around 6ft tall or so and that giant pile in the second pic is what Dad put there with the snow blower
  7. I'm downloading pictures right now, I ain't getting out of the driveway with out at least a few hours of work
  8. IIRC the people I work for now had an order for a case or two of them when those Edsels came out, I remember seeing them behind the counter and being told that they were a special order for a local Edsel Owners Club when I expressed interest for one of them.
  9. Happy to ehar you made it ok Low! fun....suuuuuuure
  10. Before I forget, or get legitimately sick......... The parking lot at work just after 6:00pm, anybody who'd been to the store should recognize the view and one shot out the back door shortly there after. Don't let the bare spots fool you, that snow between the Honda and my Jeep was around ankle deep! The silver Honda got stuck and I ended up having to push it out when we left, I just powered through the same drift when I left a a few minutes later. Here's North Ave. and Rte. 59 in West Chicago. And Main Street, it was so dead that I actually stopped to take the pic and didn't cause a problem doing so!
  11. Well, the way I feel right now after spending a few hours outside with Dad clearing the drive By the time we gave up the fight, we both looked like a couple Yeti's
  12. Lol, Dad thinks it might take a wee bit longer, like mid Thursday The shop ended up closing at 6:30 tonight and so far we'll probably be open tomorrow........aaaaand.....I may have to work..................
  13. I've heard North Ave is about the only road that isn't a parking lot so far from the customers that have stopped in and Dad warned me not to get stuck on the way home tonight.....everything else we own would get stuck long before it gets to where ever I'd get stuck at
  14. Meh, it was an ugly car anyway
  15. I agree and would like to see the same of the GM f/s vans too. The body molds of the GM van need some restoration around the drip molds, but I'd love to see newer interiors, maybe the Chevy and GMC grills with both single and dual headlights.
  16. Well, here's down town West Chicago as of 11:30 tonight, should do the same tomorrow night for a comparison too. Since I posted this, Dad told me he's heard that there might be as much as 30" by the time this is all done........he wished me luck on my way home form work tomorrow already
  17. One of my co-workers also works for the county and has already called off for this entire week and may be lucky to go home in that length of time, they've already set up cots at his garage for the guys to come back to and sleep in between shifts, and the place was a media madhouse by 3pm this afternoon too! I also just talked to a customer who told me one of the 4 lane roads (Kirk Rd for the locals on here) near the store is already drifted over.
  18. St. Charles HobbyTown USA, I'm the big guy with glasses and a full beard, and the other employee mentioned is the big guy with glasses and a goatee
  19. Don't see why that would matter Justin.
  20. A co-worker and I had both thought about doing builds for this contest until he read the portion of the rules that excludes hobby shop employees
  21. I'll wait for somebody to make a kit of the Volt
  22. I'm digging the three spokers and mesh wheels!
  23. I love the build, but I'm not sure about the wheels, the baby moons and white walls just don't look right and I'm just not a fan of those Nike wheels on anything. How about the new ZR1 Vette wheels?
