yeah, me too. It depresses me to see the car parked there week after week.

The good news is that I normally have the car back on the road by the first or second week of March.

A local guy (Jason) went to the local Porsche Dealer and took some shots.... he has a way of taking the pictures that you dont see very often. Once there was a CGT getting a clutch and he took some cool shots...

this is a randon OT bunch of photos he took - kind of neet to look at (if you are bored and snowed in)

And right down 73 here in Voorhees. Using the time cooped up reading and researching the 996 purchase.

Snow blower purchased on a major season left over discount a few years back when we had zero snow is finally paying off this year!!!

A.J. - Did head out with neighbor in his Range Rover Sport SC around 10am, roads are actually not too bad only because EVERYONE is staying home. All we saw were plows and a SUV here or there. Not bad to be honest.

Good luck!

Well, I just went out and measured 10" of snow in the middle of the lawn - snow drifts are considerably deeper. I'll get down to clearing it up after lunch.

Right now I'm watching the robins swarm in my back yard to eat the winterberries... it's really cute. I'll have to see if I can get some photos.

Ed, so what's wrong with Zombieland? It's on my list of movies to see.

just not a kids movie - I would say under 14 would be a bad choice... its a little graphic....
overall, if you like zombie movies) it was OK, not great IMO...a few funny parts, predicable story, Woody does a good job....worth a watch.....in my case, alone..a few people told me it was super funny, I didnt get that out of it.
my wife hates that stuff, and my kids are 10-11....they dont like bloody sceenes (yet)

Ahh, I see. That makes sense. I love zombie movies - my favorite genre.

As for scary movies - yeah, my 4 year old finds everything scary, so it's tough to find moves to watch. He even found White Christmas scary. Pity, as I can't watch many of my favorite movies before he goes to bed.

my 11 y/o isnt far from that..... ANYTHING remotely scary is too much, I am trying to de-sensitize him just a bit....I think he saw Batman at my nephews house when he was a bit too young (thanks sis!) and its been a little bit of a struggle to get him over it....

he is getting better and was able this year to really laugh at the black knight in holy grail.... HUGE STEP for him.

Nice. We did the same thing but stopped at noon. Now there are a few more inches... Oh well... Will just do it again when it stops.

Watch out on driving a C2 on snow. Hope you have the right tires on it. Mine are high perf summer. Not to be driven on snow, ice or near freezing temps...

Were in Moorestown are you? I am near Strawbridge lake.

Zero snow in Bergen County! I am happy but my 8 year old is not. She wanted to go sleigh riding today. Oh well!
