i fear its too late my good man. the storm hit while i was patroling the good streets here in Vermilion and it was declared a level three snow emergency. that basically means that if i were to find any motorist on the street, i am by law, supposed to arrest them on the spot. i wouldn't though. people have families to get home to.

Yeah, I've been stopped before. We both got stuck when we pulled over, had to have two more patrol cars come push us out. Anyway, I had to take a quick pic of my '83. Just washed it the other day when we had decent weather. That's Ohio for you.

Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of my car this morning buried under almost a foot of snow.
At first I wanted snow but it seems Ohio got a late winter and now it's the most snow we've had consecutively in a few years. Now I want it to go away so I can drive in the evening with the top off and windows down!

We only got to a level 2 yesterday which is only an offense worthy of a ticket. Then again that's pretty bad considering my county is one of few in Ohio that doesn't use a snow emergency level. The Sheriffs office throws them out there though for ***** and giggles every now and again. The downtown area where my office is actually closed yesterday and today. We were one of the only things remotely open. Roads were still empty(can't park on the street) so I had some drifting fun.

Man driving the 7 in snow is so much fun! I can control is very well in the snow when I need it and break it loose when I want it. When we got a little snow over here I would pull donuts and brake stands in the parking lot at work in the mornings. I'm originally from MD so I know how to drive well in adverse weather conditions. Nice pics, now you have to post up some snow free pics

the reason my new 7 isn't in the garage is because my 10AE and 80 Leather sport are in the garage. the snow blew clean under the garage door and infiltrated my garage. i'm gonna have a mess when it melts. i cleaned out what i could but i didnt get it all out of there.

I bought my donor car in Ohio and I live in South Georgia. Don't see alot of snow here. LOL The gas tank and most of the body and frame on the donor '82 with only 113000 miles on her was so rusted that I can't even repair it if I wanted to. She's getting new life in my rust free 83 with 200000 miles on her. (I bought the 83 in Alabama) It's interesting to see how much damage the snow and salt can do to a car....
