well, the snow was beginning to harden, however now it is melting

not even the studded tires will help in this case. i might have to convert to 4x4

ill need to take a look in my parts locations to see if i can scrounge enough things to work that out later. , anywhoo, here is a few action shots trying to drive outside ( in the 1st pic that weird brown thing is a leaf i managed to scrounge up from under the snow! was looking at the pic wondering

, then looked outside and yep, its a leaf sitting there behind where it was

so we have a shot of it flying through the air )
