fun with new digicam. Ice sucks

[rx7gslse]

Well I took some pictures of my P5 on christmas morning (new Fuji 3800 :) )... This is two days after I had a super fun 9 hour drive from Dallas to KC thru a frikking blizzard...

most of the ice had melted off, but the entire front was one solid sheet of ice right after the drive... Yucky. I like TX much better...

pretty much exactly what mine looked like yesterday after 8 hours of snow. until the streets dry, all i can do is pretty much hose the salt and sludge off every couple days.

winter sucks.

i was, however, impressed that i managed 750 km of snow covered highway on stock tires and didn't die.

unlike the echo, civic, caravan, F150 and jack-knifed semi i saw.

the front grill looks like one of those days when it's so cold you have your saliva and snot all frozen under your nose and around your mouth (rofl)

wait, i thought texas was always really warm???

I know you said you were on your way back from a road trip but why are all of the trees in the pics bare??

Does it get that cold?

never fear.. it's all clean now.. I washed it then it proceeded to thunderstorm.. go figure.

No, texas is warm, I think mid 60's today :)

I drove from TX to KC last monday started out raining, then switched to snow about 3 hours into the drive and stayed that way for all but the last hour. KC where to picture was taken didn't get snow... but it was like 20 degrees... Fark that!

I did just about die though... A semi was jack-knifed and they had the right lane blocked so the cars in front of me were all stopped... One of those huge semi truck wreckers was behind me (way too close for comfort. I hit my brakes and dove to the left shoulder (low visibility, cars in front slowing very quickly). He locked all his tires up and slid right by my right window (maybe 2 feet?) & kept sliding for about another 50 ft in the right lane/shoulder... Didn't hit anyone though. Spooky.. Though I was gonna get squished.

If you lived up here in Canada you're car would look like that from about December till the and of April(once all the salt and crap has been washed off the steets by the rain)

It suck when you was you're car and the next day it's dirty again.

Just because we live in texas doen't mean that the trees keep all their leaves all winter.....all the trees lose their leaves here in the winter just like they do most everywhere else.....some trees, like oaks, keep their lieavs much longer...but for the most part our trees loose all their leaves sooner or later.
