Well it looks like it the end of the Pinto driving season here in South Dakota,it's snowing pretty hard :'(
That sucks. Still good/fair in Cincinnati here. Although our times comming. Now that I think about it, I had an 80' pony that was a real trooper in the snow. Never got stuck.(knock on wood)
Dont know what happened to my last reply. Meant thats not good. Actually typed sucks.
Happened again. It keeps putin in greats... not what I meant. Oh well you get the picture. Something in the program so is not to ofend.
my Pinto has been put away... :'( it looks rather silly with the 4 mini spares on it! I hate the Canadian winters >:(
My "Lil Horse" is my daily driver. "Neither rain nor sleet...blah blah" She goes all year long here in the smokies. It goes just as well in the rain, and snow as it does in the dry. That's why I love my "Lil Horse"
It snowed here in Southern New Hampshire last week.
Were in for better weather though. I went and bought a quick up car port so Im not working on the wagon in the snow like did last year when I rebuilt the front end of the Grand Marquis. This was during a week when we had snow,-10*F, rain and sleet. Woo hoo I love NH.

What's really funny is that theres still no snow up here in Alaska.
Only on the mountains and then only a little. it's been cold though between 30s and 40s.
Snow, what's that?
I have not seen snow in Alabama in 3 years...
White, Pretty, Cold... Yea.. I remember..

What is this? There's another Pinto in Alaska!
Actually, we've had snow for about a week here in Fairbanks. It came about three weeks later than normal, which is just fine with me.
For what it's worth, I am trying out some new snow tires this year, and I am really impressed with them on icy roads. They are Bridgestone Blizzaks. They seem to be much better than my old BFG snow tires. If anyone is looking for snow tires this year, you might want to check them out.
Yea theres at least 3 more pintos in Alaska, I have two Wagons and my dad races a coupe. I've also know of two others down here in Anchorage. Ones a Runabout, the others a coupe. And no we still don't have snow down here but it won't be long. future reference Slicks Do Not Work On Snow!! Trust Me!;D
It's not snowing here in Toronto yet! I hate the snow especially driving in it. I hate the cold especially because i work in it all year round (I work for Hagan Daz )
My car is asleep for the winter in my heated garage.
When I retire I'd like to live on a small island in the Pacific ocean where it's hot forever and drive the car around the Island every day.
Call me nuts but I like driving in the snow. Just keep it sideways, people think your crazy, and they stay out of your way. ;D
OK...YOUR NUTS!!! ;D
The sun is shinning bright and it's hot as a witch's crotch down here in S. Florida. Perfect pinto weather! I think we'll take the kids to the beach tomarrow ;D
You guys up north need to head for South Texas 80 degrees here today....
Mike ;D
Yeah San Diego is tough. I realy dont like it when it gets much below 60, its hard to work with a jacket on and I dont like to drive the Pangra with out my sunglasses on 8)
Well it finally snowed in Anchorage and the temp plummeted from 30 degrees to a block crackin -15 degrees in a week brrrrrrrrrr
Horrible News, as i said in my previous message on the 17th I was "Block Crackin" cold, well tragically I was right. :'( my dad had to put his 71 outside so that we could fix my truck and, you guessed it, the block cracked. :'( :'( We still don't know how bad (I think we're afraid to look) but it may give an excuse to stroke the other 302 we have sittin in the garage. So mabey all is not lost :-\
10 inches of the white stuff here today :'(
Sorry to hear that Underdog. Ive had a forzen Pinto in the past but havent cracked a block. May be a freeze plug got pushed out a little? Good luck.
Today will be a beautiful day for towing home the TurboCoupe. Temps in the 50's, low wind and mostly sunny. I have to scramble to finish raking leaves. At least where I snow blow. Yesterday I couldnt find a car tow dolly in the all of N.H. U-haul said everyone has taken them down South. I was able to find one close by that a General store has. They need to make sure its road ready so I can use it this morning.
i hope its only a frost plug too! Been there did that with a $8000 340 in my '68 Barracuda.....it was 3 months old! Lesson learned, the hard way! :'(
The white stuff is in the forecast for monday here, if we get it i'll try to get y'all some pics of hicks in the snow ;D
ok, so it's a month later LOL here's a pic of 10" of snow in the great smoky mts.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT IT'S 77 DEGREES HERE IS SOUTH TEXAS TODAY..
