So the last 2 weeks have taught me a valuable lesson about "Instant Karma." Living on my street, I've seen this "Instant Karma" occur TWICE. Not even 2 weeks ago, a guy at a local bar & grille, starts up his car to let it warm up. Comes out a few minutes later to find his car gone. Well the gentleman that stole the car, ended up crashing into a tree on my street, killing him dead. I'll try to snap a picture of the tree, it's enormous!

So about a week goes by, it's Valentine's Day... I'm coming home from work, where I turn onto the side street that goes back to my detached garage. A plow truck is following me, and watches me pull into my driveway. What does he do? Yep! He plows the road, leaving a nice 3' embankment for me to shovel myself out of! :mad: So I go inside to get changed, and look out my window. This is basically what I see, although the picture comes from my neighbor across the street. The guy gets stuck, IN MY YARD!?!?!? Notice the street, and how he completely disregards it, driving through my yard. Little did he know, I have a big ass rock on the corner, which is the reason he got stuck. :laugh: I'll take some pictures tomorrow, of the monster ruts he left. I was in a hurry, so I didn't stop to b!tch the guy out, so I called the city the next day and let them hear about it. :crazy: Anyway, here's a little laugh for you all!

AWESOME! Those snow plows did that to us 3 times in a row after we kept shoveling our curbs every few hours :nonono:

I love the snow.. but thank God for the rain and warm weather, I can't wait for spring :cool:
 
I was laughing when I was inside, as it was probably 10 degrees outside when I noticed he was stuck. I have a prettty big yard, so I couldn't really tell that he was completely in my yard, until I was backing out of my garage. By then, my :laugh: turned into :mad:, as I knew there was going to be a huge mess when the snow melted. Sure enough, my yard looks like absolute **** now! So I get to wait until April for the city to send some sort of "dirt crew" out to fix it. So that means they'll come and fill in the ruts with dirt, and leave it at that. Outstanding!! :rolleyes:

Dude, how does the LS drive in the snow?

Not as well as I expected. Maybe it's the tires, but I remember my buddy's LS handling great in the snow. Mine doesn't want to go through anything! Sometimes it's fun, but it can get a little scary as well. Either way, I still love the car! :cool:

You should post some pics man. Yeah I remember hearing that they were really good in the snow. You could put some sandbags in the trunk.
