Washed and Waxed on Dec 10!

Well I would have never believed anyone if they told me today was going to be about 55 degrees. Yesterday the high was about 35 here in Southern Illinois. Today it got pretty warm, and I was out of my jacket quick. I decided I was pushing my luck not having my winter wash and wax done. Got home after classes and did it! No pictures, it was dark when I was finishing up my wheels. Now I can say bring on the snow!

What I hear, that snow's coming!

It is nice when you get a daylike that and have time to enjoy it outside. Glad you were able to make use it, hope you left some in that pattern headed for western Virginia (note, I did not say West Virginia) ....

Bet it cooled off fast!

So here you go, two days later and it's been snowing since about 12 am last night. Still coming down pretty steady.

It may be cold but I have never had so much fun on four wheelers. Get out in a plowed froze over open field. Hit it wide open slam the brakes and steer one direction and you will skid a straight line 180. Great stuff!

As far as sending it your way coobs, I would if I could. I don't have much power over that though. Right now its about 28 degrees and with windchill its about 10 degrees out.

Lol i had to race mx in a race where it was just over freezing. Did not seem appealing at all lol. However, i could see it being a good time in your case.
