While coming out of the driveway(for lack of a better word) going up hill i got stuck on some ice. I tried to work my self back to down hill to get to the flat area where i could gather the momentum i slid more sideways and caught a pile of ice on the sliding door.

Trying to get past that the bottom plastic piece ( the rocker part) got yanked out. It was already loose but now its bowed out. Phooey.

But yeah. This is the worst winter we have had in these parts in probably 10 or 15 years.

and it just started.

Yay. Me thinks that i will be getting some new tires sooner rather than later....

I knew there'd be one of these snowy posts after seeing the headlines about the weather that's made it's way up northeast.
Makes me shiver just looking at it. :yikes:
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....
