I hate driving in ice. Snow is great, but ice....yuck. Thats what we have at the moment now that its all compacted. Slick doesnt even describe it. And yours sounds even worse...
Nick- I still remember that night too, I think I even slept in my Mustang cause I didnt want to get out of it!

The back ends on the PSD's really seem to come around easily on ice. I've got about 300lbs in the back of the bed, but it could probably use more. My poor girlfriend was cringing the whole way home, espeically everytime the truck went sideways. I'm hoping the state and township trucks get out and salt in the next hour cause I gotta be at work by 630. Pain in the a$$ athletics gotta be in the school every possible day of the year. At least we're closed new years day. Last year we were open thanksgiving and new years day!

Jim posted something about possibly moving it back to the 7.3 forum, but they'd have to limit it to 300-500 posts. At that rate, we'd have a new O/T every day or two.

I wish this would move back to the 7.3 forum. I RARELY pop in to the Super Duty forum, and every few weeks look at the Classified section, but otherwise, I don't go poking around other places. For me it'd be nice to just check the 7.3 PSD forum

It's a mobster game, that is basically strategy on how to commit crime! You get to mug people, fight people, rob them, kill them.......sell drugs, buy and use LOTS of guns! Typical mobster stuff....you buy and sell lots of things, doing favors for the godfather all along the way. You should join up Jeremy! Okay....last post for awhile! Headed out the door for the Holiday Road trip! MERRY CHRISTMAS

one of my first vehicles was a van with a sunroof...we had a lot of snow that year and there was a foot of snow on top of the van....well, a case of beer fit prefectly in the melted area formed by the sunroof (heatloss cause it wasnt insulated) so for almost 2 weeks I had beer up there and the empties went in the snow behind the case...

We got a warming spell in January and I went around a corner and all the snow came off the top...case, emties and all....I kept driving....scared to go back in case the cops showed up and saw me leaving the empties...

Merry Christmas Eve!

I will drive over 60% of a road sideways.. I love these trucks for that.. They are very easy to control. They just walk any way, any how you want them to..THe kids just sit back a giggle.. I am running around with a smile. and the wife is finally easing up on the "oh ****" handle..
Brandon.. I have quit the laundry buisness for today. It would seem my sister in law snuck a load in.. it was her sons bedding.. in this bedding there once was a purple crayon.. well, the whole inside of my dryer is now purple..
