I hope it dumps hardcore. I'm in reno right now (will be till the 2nd) and was pissed that it was a short sleeve shirt day, well until the 40mph+ winds kicked up and pelted my car with sand. Boreal was slush city all day. I tried one final run after diner hoping I could see just how sharp my skis were, but it was still slush.
Another thing. I NEVER get shocked at home, but I've been zapping the hell out of myself here, what's the deal? Every door handle, every elevator button, ZORCH....
oh and my car SUCKS up here. I've been happily boosting about 1.13-1.15 at home, I hit donner summit and tried to pass someone, pedal burried, 1.03...ooops knock correction..... .97 BLECK..

What is this?
Everyone complaining about the rain? Come on guys, that's the best time for us to SHINE!!
The first part of the storm is a STUPID filter, taking out most of the dummies in the sports cars who can't drive in the rain. The next few days make the flooding worse, so that the compact cars get off the roads. After that, we own the roads...

....yes I dearly love AWD because when I just drove by this, I just finished a little canyon run by myself off of Hick's road.

Took me three hours and 15 minutes to get from San Jose to Reno including one gas stop. Today it took me over 9 hours to get home..... sigh.
Joy fun, weee.
It was pretty though.
Subaru snow plow anyone?
