I Hate Snow

I miss my car.

Now I must write an RX7 haiku for solace:

I do miss my car.
Seven inches of snow sucks ***.
Dude, your big truck blows.

Maybe I'll get snow chains.

Wow, seven inches of snow on the road. That sucks. Snow on the road means SALT, and salt is definately not my 7's friend.

lol.. a 12a would Be SLOW in a sled
think about this.. the good sleds are powered by 800cc 2stroke engines which modified put out a consistent reliable 200hp.

I would love to have a rotary Artic Cat, even though in TN I could never use it. But it would be nice to have just in case.

This is a little off topic, but wasn't there a rotary lawnmower made at some time. I remember reading about it, I just don't know were.

there is a guy in calgary with the engine apart from teh old cat sled. It was a 20hp engine.. 303cc i think.. and it was slow as hell until you got into powerband, then one of the fastest sleds in the 70's. Altho.. I bitch an complain if a sled only has 105hp (500cc), so I wouldnt be one to want one.

edit: y the **** did you write a haiku? ?

Man I miss my 7 too.

I sat in it last night

It has not seen the light of day since October.

I have resigned my self to the fact that it will be at EARLYEST late April befor I get the chance to hear the sweet hum of the rotory engin.

Not only do we need the snow to melt (which I don't think it will ever do) we need enoguh steady rain to wash away all that Road Salt.

"Oh its -15 lets salt the roads!!!" That is the attitude around here and man it sucks.

Any way enoguh pineing over the FB
