got a hurst in the mail...might go in this weekend!
Ook gotchya. My mom teaches at Octorara and I'm right on the Chester/Lancaster boarder. (if I spelled that right and if you know where it is lol) Im guessing you mean PSU Mont Alto? haha but no I don't venture over that way that often. only for hunting and visiting my cousins. I work for a landscaper that does banks so it kinda sucks haha I didnt' talk to the guy I'm usually with for storms but I'm sure they were out for a while.

And I see that your sig says you have an 04 and I hope I'm not breaking the news/or maybe they changed them but when I got my Hurst you had to get a custom made spacer from someone on another forum to make it fit an 01-04?!? Let me know if you didnt' know or what not and i'll help you figure it out.

Had a close call today..thought I was gonna be stuck in someones yard...got caught backing up casually to let a car go by that was stuck on a flat road. Not sure how that happened! lol...but yea, caught the edge of the road and slid over a hair...lots of flyin snow for those to see....but a little rockin, and she pulled right out.
Yeah e brake saves me gas. I went threw a 1/4 of a tank in 10 miles lol and I have a auto so one hand on the wheel then just hold the release back and work your brake. In a manual its really no different you dont need to use the clutch. I do use you reg brake when I get a bit to far sideways or sometimes gas. Its really all about practice. We dont have a cop in our town so its pretty much open season once the snow covers the road. Last night there was about 4in on the side roads.

There's actually a lot of fields by me. I only really take it out there in the summer, it being a RWD and all lol. But I still blow peoples doors off when they drive slow when its snowing.
And those are some sweet pics guys looks like fun
