I hear you and you can just forget about "any" tire getting up that driveway.

Skis and snowshoes.

Let me show you what a real snow storm is supposed to look like. All the pictures are from last Christmas.

1. My 8-year old trying to get into the backyard from our patio.
2. Here she is standing on the patio.
3. Do you think the 295's on my GL will make it up the drive?

Stick with the sunrise/sunset shots Steve. I've got the snow covered.
Beautiful daughter Stumble---and she's not even green like the beastie!

Reminds me of the early light dustings we would get in Buffalo when I lived there. Okay, I'll stick to the dry/hot beauty shots, you stick to the snow bunny beauty shots, and we'll have it all covered!

Brrrr.....Stumble, you gotta be careful before posting shots like those. I get cold just looking at those.



And about the tires you need to get up that driveway....WHERE IS THE DRIVEWAY? How do you see it below those montains of snow?

Wow Brian, my daughters would be so jealous if they saw these pics. They love snow, but the best we've managed in Raleigh over the past few years is a few lovely icestorms! Can't wait to try out the 295's on one of those!

That's my little mountain girl and like Steve-the-Pilot said, she certainly can be a snow bunny too.

Just a little trickery with the camera Nish. The entrance to the drive is actually to the left and just out of the frame. What you see is just some of the pile up from the snow thrower. Like to make it look as bad as possible.

Ice storms are the worst. We're so lucky that we don't get those in the mountains. Just nice fluffy white stuff.

Tell your girls they can come out anytime and we'll take them to some great stashes of powder where they can ski their hearts out.

But only 1 card at a time. MB wants to make sure that you don't go broke by providing easy access to all your cards

Thanks and the shot of yours is a great one. I know the location you shot it from. When there are heavy clouds, the results can really be satisfying.

I send the uncut version...jpeg large fine file. Probably about 5MB's or so. PM me your email address and I will attach it using hotmail or gmail.

NJ: Great shots - fabulous scenery and the subject is looking very sharp too! (Love those 21 inch wheels, the front grille and the extra chrome the 550 incorporates)

CAUTION:Large File

I wanted to post this shot so you can get a feel for the area of Red Rock and how it looks in a large image with the GL as the key subject. Sunny is also using this as his desktop.

Beautiful. I've been to Vegas once, and Red Rock and Hoover Dam were by far my favorite sights in the area.

That little baggy with the wheel lock key cost me $130 bucks. I think they are around $100 + the install.
