It is easy to get back into the thread. Anything at all qualifies.

Well so far I have this white fluffy stuff about 2 inches higher than my antenna (a MY 14 antenna) and there is no end in sight so I would gladly trade you guys!

Going out to blow it all away in half an hour or so and will grab some then! Only been snowing about 3 hours and there is a foot or so already so may be wasting my time blowing it. Nice light fluffy stuff that will be easy to do though.

Sounds fun!

I know folks here are out ice racing today (a bit north, technically...) but it's just sunny brown blah if I look out my window. I'd love some of that stuff to go play... by myself... ahh, never mind.

LOL Right now a quick trip to the store could be classed as ice racing here. At this moment, within visual range of my front porch, there appears to be two pickup trucks, a minivan and a AWD SUV stuck solid. I am tempted to drive around and laugh at peoples reactions when I go blasting past them. Maybe I will make a sign that says "Buy snow tires you moron" for my back window.

Ah, the big dramatic flakes are nice that way. Cracks me up when the missus gets all excited, "Wow, it's really coming down!"

I just look over and give her the "Meh."

Here's my experience with the first time I drove a manual transmission. It's the car's fault not mine To be fair it was a totaled 1st gen tsx that still ran but stuttered along and almost overheated while I was putting around a parking lot.
My current issue when starting is how much do you have to press on the accelerator whilst slowly releasing the clutch? Too much and it isn't smooth. When I try to lessen it a little bit the car either stalls or comes near it. The sweet spot seems a little elusive to me and while experience is obviously necessary as it was just my first time I would like some pointers on how to make it bearable for a passenger. Thanks
