Curious to see how many of us play outside in the winter months

 

My C4 has been a hoot in the snow. I'll use any excuse to go out after a storm. Its a filthy mess right now, but as soon as the temp creeps into single negative digits, I'll hose her down.

 

spent my day trying to do my 2006 taxes .... yep you read right 2006 .... figure i better get caught up .. if there are any tax experts out there I have a question about capital gains .. well . okay .. capital losses ...

 

Clive: studiotax.com It's free downloadable tax software. I have used it, super easy. You can also file electronically. Last time I did that I got my money 4 days later in my bank account.

As for playing with my car, well this morning it was -36....and that's with out the wind. I do not want to start the car in that. Ever seen what oil looks like at that temp? It's scary.

 

+1 on studiotax. Used it last year. Fantastic and simple.

 

wow there ya go I just learned something. Thanks Guys ...

Yeah Matt I sure wouldn't want to be in Winnipeg this week

 

Drifting around Mississauga...

 

My wife carved a small slide into the snowbank in our driveway and has been icing it down for our daughter to play in. Aside from that, I'm trying to deny that winter exists...

Though I did attempt to bbq ribs last night - yes, we bbq all year round. Because of the cold (and lack of light) I didn't watch them closely enough and burnt them to a crisp. We had pizza for dinner last night...

We're taking the kids to Disney world 2nd week of Feb. Everything in my life is directed at the moment we step off that plane in Orlando.

edit: oh yeah, there's a 911 in the garage too. Fun with her these days consists of trying not to crack my ankle on the wheel dollies that stick out from the car jacket.

 

drove to Keele and 7 yesterday...it sucked ***...figured I was gonna become a 'spotted' at the side of the road victim thanks to the many tire-deflaters (pot holes) out there.

Sunday night - went to work, hit the highway at Brant St as usual, on an overpass hit some black hit...not nice....picked off every one of the 4 lanes, 3 spins and 2 feet from hitting both walls...luckily everyone behind me saw what was happening and slowed right down to watch the show....scared the living bejesus outta me - and all I could think was NOOOOOOOOO, it isn't supposed to end like this, my wife is going to kill me and I'll be driving a Hyundai Pony !!!

 

I think you need to change your username to "8 lives" now!

Glad to hear everything turned out ok. Funny how you say "nooooo" just like in the movies, eh?

... drove it around the underground before anyone got in to work ... but sure is a nice treat to start 'er up and run her around every couple of weeks.

 

not much yet, but I'll be enjoying the heated seats on the way home from the airport tonight!

 

So your car is in the parking lot at Pearson? Not to scare you, but did you see this?

yeah saw it earlier...no worries since there are a few dozen p-cars in the parkade at any one time so the odds of picking mine aren't significant.
