your car had rust on it when it left the factory. All Nissans do. It's standard.

I have never seen snow.... real, fake, or man-made.Next week we will be sitting in 80-90F, and getting over 100F by the end of the week.

Send some snow here.... I could throw it on the roof of my house to help cool it down!

My Maxima has seen 17 harsh winters with salted roads and snow and hasn't developed any major rust. Not even on the fuel filler neck in the wheel well for which there was a rust recall.

Dude, it's not snow until it's at least a foot. Your car should do fine in it if you drive carefully.

My internet finally started working today, it's been out all weekend. A lot of people didn't have any power until today. I guess I'm lucky in that sense.

Yeah... A lady friend of mine lost power on saturday, so I let her crash at my place that night while I went to work. It was nice coming home to her on Sunday morning Valentine's Day, too...

I'm gonna bet there's gonna be a huge amount of babies born this November... not me though!

I lived in Plano for 8 years. Never saw snow like that. I only remember the icy roads. I'd take a big cardboard box to a nearby hill, run a bit, jump onto the cardboard, slide for 10' or so, then hit dry pavement, stop immediately and roll over a few times. Then I'd do it again for the next 10' of ice.

Yeah, it ended up being a record 12.5 inches at DFW airport. Crazy weekend. I'm glad to have internet back finally as of last night.
