Post For all you in the south

Right now I am just so jealous of all you done in the sun. I am so sick and tired of the white ***** already. Yesterday I wake up and leave to go to work, well that didn't happen. Couldn't even get my truck out the drive way. I'm just glad my L's in the garage. That thing would have been worse. So I have like 7 inches of snow all over my driveway. My driveways like 150 feet long and 50 feet wide so I really depend on that snowblower. Well the damn thing quit again on me(think it was made by chevy). So I said screw it and went to home depot and bought the biggest and the baddest blower they had. 10 horse power (that almost as much as a Extreme, electric start, 30" wide mouth, variable speed. Guys I was in love. I just had to get this one home with me. So bought it and brought it. I never had so much fun blower snow all over the town, This thing was shooting snow on top of the roofs of other people's houses. I even did a huge part of my street. The snow plow didn't come over till plow until later that night. So I showed him.

Well I woke up this morning and It looked like I did nothing at all last night. I could not believe it. But my uncle did drive out to my house last night and plow about half of it. All in all I at work today and I just don't feel like a happy camper. My a$$ hurts from falling not once but twice this morning, my truck is a solid block of ice, and mostly, I know that when I get home tonight I'm going to have to deal with more white *****. So anyway how bought those BEARS................ HAHAHAHAHAHH

I hope I'm not the only one digging on this site. March 10th threw thw 17th, I will be living it up in cancun with my boys, There still is a god. Alcohol, Sex and Alcohol. what else could I want out of life. LATER

Snowblower.....snowblower.....what is that exactly? If I ever moved the occasional snow off the driveway, then I would have to go to work....nahhhhh!
Hey , do they make a chip or filter kit for that rascal??? Overdrive pulleys?
A guy from Conn. once visited our plant, and talked about having to shovel/sweep snow off the roof of his house to keep it from collapsing. Sounds like you're getting close to that, huh?

Well a snowblower is a mod for the lightnings in the winter. Instead of just sucking air in the motor, the snowblower takes in snow, kinda like the gigawat from back to the future. The snow and air mixture greatly increases forces inside the motor giving it a big bang in hp and trq. Now if you want to get the most from your snowblower at the track you need to ad the speacially formulated snow thats yellow in color. Now this snow already has octane booster and many other high performance liquids added to it. It basically like a NOS wet kit and a can of starting fluid mixed together. Watch out cause there she goes.

No seriouslly if you don't know what a snowblower is then you don't know what snow is.

Actually I have ordered a chip for my new blower directly from superchips. It should be here for tonight episode of the white ***** again. I also have fitted my new blower with some BF goodrich dragradials from better traction on the ice. I'm debating on the new exhaust kit from Bassani for it cause they claim it gets about .25 to .5 hp but my neighbor did a kit on his and he said it sounds real good but he didn't gain a snow throwing footage. Where still at about 37.984 feet at 28.89 mph. Its really dispointing. To make up for the exhaust kit, I decided to go with a new ported and polished intake. My neighbor and me both agreeded that the old one was just to restricting. Now with this mod something amazing happended. My neighbors distance footage jumped to an increadiable 45.327 and his mph jumped to 39.87 mph. With these speeds at hand, he was taking out neighboring windows and just destroying mailboxes. I really need to get a video camera so you all can watch. The police have been searching the area only able to find burnout marks and junks of wood and plastic all over the ground. We where smart enough to not leave any evidence. The case is still inder investigastion to this day. We see the police driving around all the time but we don't have the throttle up all the way, so there none the wiser. When they leave though its a whole new ball game. I think the old man across the street is starting to catch on, he just went out yesterday and got his new MTD. He gives us dirty looks as he throws his snow on my lawn but he'll come around someday and join us, and all the rest will realizes that this game we play is just that, a game.

Don't even ask me why I just wrote that story.

this is a secret so don't let anyone know but there going to be a meeting on the corner of braburn and sunset thursday night at 9:00 pm. Bring your blower and gas for a comp. All bets will be placed with the fine looking blonde in the yellow bikini. Any disputes over the types of snow will be taken care of that night. Please no children allowed, this could get ugly. Registration is free for the first time, but there will be a fee for following events. Hot choclates will be sevred with roasted chesnuts. Please bring your own shoe polish. Thank you
