Be sure to let him know. Or you could let him know that Jay Leno gave it to you because he was running out of room in his garage.

Some people can be pretty gullible. If he thought your car was brand new, then he'd probably fall for the Jay Leno bit. Give it a try, it'* worth the chuckle.

we got an incredible amount of wind this weekend and apparently it drifted everything over and froze, so i had 3ft deep solid drifts to contend with this morning. i had to borrow a big backhoe because or plow truck wasnt even close. the backhoe was fun though, heat and tunes and a bunch of power

Nice pics Art, we have had no snow here yet, a few weeks ago we got a lot of rain, which is odd for this time of year!

Looks like they fixed our snow finally and gave us a decent pass. These were from about a week ago.

1.5 - 2 inches down from the looks of it, not even counting you can see some of the flakes on the top edge. Full res shot looks pretty cool.

Crap still haven't got pics, meant to and forgot. Here'* a quick video I took the other weekend, roads were crappy for a few weeks and finally had a little stretch to clean the carbon out of the truck from crawling around on the icy roads for a couple weeks straight. They were still wet though so it had a hard time hooking up at the start, was bouncing off the rev limiter at 6600RPM all through 1st gear lol.

We were hit with a major storm yesterday/today. 100km/h+ winds, and close to 2 feet of snow here, and up to 3 feet further inland. We got so much, the plow ended up plowing me in my spot. The snow bank is about 20' long, 15' wide, and at max, 15' high. Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here for a while before I can get out..

that was nice of him to plow you in. i know how it is though sometimes there is no where to go with it. they are probably going to have get a loader.

here today its 45. i can remember a bunch of times this part of the year when the high temps are negative. tomorrow they said we might break the record of 57
