ooh.. I bet your friend already wants his car running again. lol. I wouldn't stand having the car not running for awhile. I can only imagine how Erick is feeling as well, every other FB status update he posts is about him missing his car. lol

Probably will on the way home. Driving sideways in the snow is much more fun with 4WD :dblthumb:

Easier on 6-tons because it lets you get higher, but can be done on 3-tons. Just can't get the tranny out from under the car. The limiting factor is always the jack you're using anyway. I have a Michelin big blue which has a 21" stroke, IIRC.

I've only been around snow once in all my 20 years. If I really wanted to see snow though I would just go to the mauntains around here. lol. But I dislike cold weather..

Are the Nikes? Shoulda just sent them back. Nikes great with that, I've returned 4 or 5 pairs of broken basketball shoes (I played high school/AAU/summer camps etc. so I went through ~3 pairs a year) that I'd used anywhere from 3 weeks to almost 10 months. Their customer service was always great and I always got a full refund within 2 weeks. As long as you've had them less than a year and they aren't completely destroyed/broken due to unrelated incident (i.e. you sliced them with a knife, etc.) you should get a full refund.

Indeed and we survived the first year! Can't believe I found a broad crazy enough to deal with me. She paid for my dyno day in May, so she's a keeper :bigthumb:

First time, maybe 45 minutes. Then it's just maintaining it, because it snows every other day. Sometimes I take the J00p, somedays the 'rolla. I spent 45 minutes after that picture last night clearing ice. I keeps my traffic cone in my trunk so when I leave, people know not to f*** with my spot

Definitely return them. They're sticklers for the production date though, so just gotta be with in X number of months from the prod date on the tongue.

I probably shouldn't post it on a public forum, but I already have my plan. I would deflate all four tires. Not slash or cut, because I would murder someone if they did that to me. But I would let the air out of all four tires. It's fairly understood around here in winter time; you don't f*** with someone's spot. They limit parking to one side of the road, so it gets super competitive, because both sides are filled during the rest of the year. People put out coat racks, cones, chairs, milk crates etc to claim their spot. Everyone respects it, and I haven't had a problem yet. Now if it's been 50 degrees for 2 weeks and there's no snow anywhere, and the parking ban is still on and you put a cone out then yeah, I'm moving it and parking there because you did no work for that spot. But you best believe that if I spend hours shoveling out a spot, that f*** is mine until this s*** melts. You can see what this winter is doing to me. :mad:

Hey, as long as it's not vandalism, it's not illegal! I would actually take the valve stems out and put them in a ziplock bag under the wiper. Most people don't carry a valve stem tool.

Sounds like you had already thought it out and planned.
But atleast there respectful to the work you had to put in...
If had to go through that hassle I would be like that too. Damn snow storms. :argh
