It's snowing ... again ...

I take umbrage at anyone who pokes fun at my minivan. I fucking love that minivan, it's a miracle machine (and owned outright). Hell, even our mechanic scratches his head over it.

1. It has 230,000 miles on it.
2. It has it's original/unrebuilt: Engine, transmission and exhaust system.
3. It still gets something in the range of about 22 MPG.

What brand is it? I've never heard of a minivan living that many miles!

We got a little snow here and it didn't take long to melt.

A 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager with a 3.0. Very, very few of them last the way ours has ;) Average yearly repairs are usually in the $500 range, if that, usually it's the cost of the inspections, then maybe a few miscellaneous parts (like last year, we needed back tires).

Hubby is super good about staying on top of little maintenance things, fluids and stuff, and he's a gentle driver ... and maybe we've worked more than a little mojo on it, too :verygood:

I've got a story to tell you but I'll send it in PM :qt:
 
Man I am in Tennessee and it is crazy how 2inches of snow can shut and entire region down. The local public school system has been out of school all last week and now with this new round they have cancelled tomorrow as well. I can wait till summer and boating weather.
 
It snows every year, how soon everyone forgets. No snow in July, it will melt quickly the first time it gets back into the 40s. Though a late March or April snow is always possible from time to time, hehe.

It does not snow like this every year. This has been the snowiest winter in DC history, and we're not equipt to deal with it so the removal proccess has been almost nonexistant. Snow piles six feet high aren't going to melt quickly.
 
MM a bit tipsy tonight? naughty naughty
Jeez, right off the bus straight into Gutterville :rolleyes:

No, it's not a "naughty story" it's just something I don't feel like plastering on the board.

Actually I'm still working (thank the gods I'm finally on my last patient). It's virtually impossible to do med. transcription when you're half shot in the ass.

Snowiest winter in history! You probably won't see snow like that again in your lifetime there. Enjoy it.
 
You're in Michigan, of course this wouldn't phase you.

We've had more snow in my part of Pennsylvania in the past four weeks than we've had, cumulatively in the past FOUR YEARS. There are people that still can't get out of their streets in Philadelphia.

It is supreme suckage of a ginormous magnitude.

The worst part is it's impossible to take a decent walk outside: Every fourth house some schmuck has decided he can't/won't/doesn't need to shovel. And then there's the sports who live on a corner and don't think to clear a path to the street :rolleyes: We don't have a driveway, so even doing something as mundane as grocery shopping is a whole procedure.

People are responsible for shovelling the sidewalk where you live? The city is responsible for that around here - they have mini plows that also ice and sand the sidewalks(they take a couple of days to clear them all though after a huge snowstorm)
 
LOL @ people not knowing how to deal with snow. I guess that I take for granted growing up in the Midwest and knowing how to deal with snow covered roads.

You're pulling my leg!! The city comes to your house and clears your sidewalk?! Free of charge?! Get the fuck out!

Yeah, you're responsible to have your sidewalk cleared within 24 hours of the end of a snowstorm (they actually specify the width you need to have cleared). In theory, if you don't have it cleared, you could face a fine. I pay $300 a year higher in taxes than my neighbors for the privelege of living on a corner, and literally have 2/3 more sidewalk to clear. It is also a high visibility corner, the township is all over our asses like stink on shit when we've gone on vacation and the grass grew too high (I hate this township, seriously, it is a vile place and I didn't pick it but I'm stuck here for the immediate future).
