How was the ride with a 345? That is even wider than a Corvette Z06

Spec's.
Rim is 19x12, +28
Tire is 345/30-19
Camber is -1.75
Have a little bit of poke. The curve of the sidewall.

The ride is good with the 345. Can't tell the difference from a 325. The only car with a bigger rear tire is a Viper ACR with a 355/30-19. There is a member on here that stuffed a 355 in the rear.

355/30/19

All this rain WILL freeze everything up. It's fun to see other people trying to open up the car doors that are frozen shut.

You have to be careful on doing this. Because you can rip the weatherstripping to pieces around the door. I got to buy 2 bags of salt tomorrow. Have a new carburetor coming tomorrow for my 30 year old snow blower.

Heh, I donated our 30+ yr old snow blower to the young couple neighbor. Toro and it is still going strong. Our driveway is about 560ft long so I have a plow service.
It is snowing like a mofo here right now. I brought in some firewood and it is gonna be all indoor activities today.

Well I could be your neighbor. There are a few houses for sale on my street, C’mon...

Actually, I really do like building stuff... I have lived here in this house for 25 years and have worked on about 30 peoples homes nearby in that time. I have built garages, added new bathrooms, built decks, boat houses, completed finished basements, reshingled houses, built stone fireplaces, laid brick, poured concrete drives, rewired their homes, and of course fixed and replaced all the small things inside as well. Basically whatever they needed done. I enjoy doing every trade by myself.

However, I do not work for rice and sardines, as I’m more of a beer and pizza kind of contractor.

I actually was sitting on a new neighbors deck 2 nights ago and he told me about something he wanted built and I talked it over with him and quoted it verbally as about $900 for material and a sandwich each day for lunch, and then beer and pizza upon completion. Told him it was a 3 day job and I could start as soon as he wanted.

My snow blower is an old 2 stroke Snapper that's 20" wide. It was my dad's. It's the only snow blower that will throw slush without plugging up. For what I got. It's perfect. Been looking at the new models. But can't find anything like it.

Last year, I replaced the belt, spark plug, and the rubber on the auger/paddle for the first time ever.

I went to bed at 10, got up at 4:30. That’s all I need.

Well.. that and some of the coffee that our “Backwoods Barista” was supposed to be making this morning again

I lived in MI for 28 years. I remember using a small snowblower while on the roof at times...

Toro, I think... maybe not though. About everything came from Sears back then

Good morning everyone.

Have cousin that lives in the UP of Mich. Her house is 2 stories with a door to the outside on the 2nd story.

Also have a friend that lives in Tug Hill Ny. His house is the same way. When they get snow. It's measured in yards not inches.
