So does MINE look good in white? :D 

The first pic was taken after "White Juan", a record breaking storm in which we received 38" of snow in 24 hours, driven by 75 MPH sustained winds - the weather office said that but for lack of tropical characteristics it would've been a hurricane. I was housebound for three days - even the Cherokee was no match for snow that came up to the hood. The engine pic was taken after I dug the car out and started it and noticed that it seemed to be running strangely quiet.

The third was taken after a week of heavy snow last February - we ended up with 38" this time too, but it came from three storms in 5 days.

Um Thunder Chicken put a cover on that pretty Bird:D . We just got 10 inches of snow in Chicago yesterday. I had to dig out my Buick and unfreeze the doors... GM door seals. My Bird is sitting in the garage till April. It dosen't get to play in the white stuff. Seems to make these cars get "cancer". Oh and if anyone heard about the plane skidding off the run way at Midway airport in Chicago and into an intersection last night that happened about 2.5 miles from my house. I went through that intersection about 2 hours before that happened.

But there IS a cover on it - a nice white cover, as shown in the pic below, taken two minutes ago (there's about 6" down now, and we're expecting 10"). In fact, as I type this, there was just a flash of lighting. Gotta love Thundersnow!

It's not driven in the winter, but I don't have a cover or garage :( - It'll hopefully be getting a paint job this winter, and hopefully next year I'll have a garage...

OMG it's a snow rooster tail! That is freaking sweet.  Makes me wish we got snow here, or hell, even rain for that matter. Haha.

Well when we get bored we go out and play in snow.
I tend to do well in the snow due to fact i have a spool in my car.
Never get stuck.

Some killer pics there.  That must have been a nasty snow storm to pack snow in under your hood like that.  I was bored at work tonight and got on it in our skating rink of a parking lot...as evidenced by the included pics.

The tires just got down to pavement, was running 6,000rpm in 2nd gear...my camera girl got scared cuz my car started sliding towards her as she was getting ready to take the pic...lol.

After melting the snow/ice mix with a nice burnout, this is what happens when it refreezes...you can see some rubber laying on top of the ice from where I got down to pavement.
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/Sick88Tbird/Icetracks.jpg)See the shine of the ice tracks...more on right side then left due to lighting...

The camera phone wasn't all that bad. Yeah, that's what happens when you're bored at work.

Does my Cougar look good in white. ( Yeah I know this car looks bad, no two ways about it)

I parked my car against a hill and waited for the snow to fly. It's going to sit there until it melts too.

I never had snow get into the engine bay like that though. My car has been buried in snow to the point where I couldn't see any of it but it never got under the hood. I'll see if I can find any pics of it.
Title: Do my T bird look good white?
Post by: 5.0willgo on December 11, 2005, 09:13:44 PM
Well I couldn't find any of it completely buried but here's one that kept me shoveling for quite some time. This was a couple years ago.

Post by: thunderjet302 on December 13, 2005, 11:26:25 AM
Your 351 is too strong and its too cold for the battery to turn it over;) It's warm here today. It's going to be 28 but tommorow they're predicting 3-5 inches of snow. Great more snow on top of the 10-11 inches we already have:mad: .

Post by: SirChirpAlot on December 13, 2005, 11:27:46 PM
Well dont help that it only had 600Kms on it so its still breaking in.
I had to change reg and alt today as well.
But i dont have a choke on the carb and it was set up to lean so getting it to start and run was a pain.  I have it tuned up and its starting and running alot better.
Title: Do my T bird look good white?
Post by: thunderjet302 on December 14, 2005, 01:23:54 AM
Oh I didn't know it was that new. Why didn't you put a carb with a choke on it in the first place?
Title: Do my T bird look good white?
Post by: SirChirpAlot on December 14, 2005, 01:33:08 AM
