iluvtofly 0 #1 December 22, 2008 But it's 4F outside with a -20F windchill. I cannot remember the last time it was this cold in western Pennsylvania. My car tends to have some issues when it's cold out but, it almost didn't start this morning when I had to come to work. Today is a day that I'm very glad to be working inside and not be out on the truck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoshi 0 #3 December 22, 2008 Im right there with ya... I live in Indy...and I am still not used to it yet (lived in houston last 6 years). that and I bought a piece of crap 99 blazer when I moved here for another means of transport...and the tire mount on the back (that swings open) ...the latch froze OPEN so I had to go super ghetto and tie it in place so the tire wouldnt be swinging back and forth as I drove! _________________________________________ this space for rent.

buff 0 #16 December 22, 2008 That's why Texan's always have a couple pieces of bailin' wire in the trunk or bed. Hope you moved your's with. Right now it's 9 here in the ICT. I moved up here from Eas Texas and made it through my first winter wearing shorts until about Feb. This single digit shit with the Kansas winds is pretty damn brutal. I've had to go with sweats this winter.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

theonlyski 8 #18 December 22, 2008 oh, dont get me wrong, ive done sub freezing jumps... i just dont LIKE to do them, something about my hands being so numb that it only starts to hurt 10 mins after i land... Besides, its overcast today, i seriously doubt spaceland is jumping altitude.... but the thought of a hop-n-pop crossed my mind."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #19 December 23, 2008 Yeah, but 78 just isn't wintry or Christmas-like. You've gotta get below about 65 for the real chill. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
