And another thing. My electricity was off for 2 hours because some jackass took out an electric pole.

It took an hour, but I'm home safe and sound. One minor fishtail, but otherwise no problems. I stopped to help someone that slid off the road and was partially blocking my lane. I got worried coming down the hill infront of my subdivision with about 5 or 6 cars off the road on either side, but I came down it fine. It's good to be home and I'm glad I made it without incident. Lesson learned!

I got told in no uncertain terms that "not coming in would be the wrong decision".

I saw a kid in my neighborhood this morning using his hot wheels as a sled....was quite amusing. All cars are in a garage somewhere...tried riding my bike for shats and laughs...that didn't last long.

Well, I can comfortably say the closest my S got to the snow was feeling the draft under the garage door
But hey, i turned on the heater in the garage and dropped the top. blared the music. CLOSE ENOUGH

But I kinda feel your pain. We are a 24x7 shop, which the company considers crucial. So we must be manned all the time, xcpet maybe if the building blew up (but I figure they would figure something out for us to work). Yesterday, I didnt come in, but had the honor of burning a vaction day as payment

But Brian, I cant express how nice it is to have a beater. even w/my truck as rear wheel drive 4x2, she managed just fine getting out of my icerink of a neighborhood/driveway. As i am a pretty good driver on ice/snow, you would have to pay me the 32k for a new S b4 I took her out!!!

I got stranded Sunday afternoon coming back to Greenville from Columbia. I had hoped to beat out the worst of it, but called it quits at a Comfort Inn on exit 52 on 26 (just before the split into 385). Around 4pm yesterday I made the trip down 385 to 85 and then to Pelham Road. It took almost 2 hours and there were more than a few tense moments, but the S and I made it home without a scratch.
Saw tons of trucks and SUVs off the side of the road. I had a jacka$$ in a Mustang get pissed at me because I was creeping along so slowly. He finally passed me. About 2 hills later I saw him off the side of the road.
The car did better than I expected, but I think it was the agonizingly slow speed and lots of prayer that got us home safe! Never again!
