Clean/clear around your cars now, while you can. Because today, it'll melt a bit. Tonight, it'll freeze and turn into a rock.

Took my parents' Prius in to work today and it has been doing awesome in the snow. I was surprised how well it did and actually took the snowy route to chipotle for lunch.

I was driving through the neighborhoods in Columbia and those were the only bad roads I had seen.

They plowed my alley yesterday very well, then overnight they blocked it in by plowing the main road and did not touch up the intersection. It was like a very cold rock pile with some glue thrown in! A neighbor and I were out there with garden shovels and a pick ax to clear enough of a space to drive the AWD out. Z stayed put in the garage.

I agree with Rob, make sure you clear around your cars and fire hydrants so it doesn't form an ice block overnight. More snow is on the way also...

Then theres next week, mid 50's and low 60's....This will be all be gone relatively soon.

Got stuck trying to get my girlfriend's car out this morning on a solid sheet of ice. 45 minutes and a ton of kitty litter later we got free only for her to get stuck again in Columbia after she dropped me off at work. More snow tonight or so I'm told.

Quick question - I don't *need 2 piece rotors on my rears right - just front?

*Accepting the fact that "need" is a relative term.

Looking at running 2 piece slotted DBA rotors in the front and 1 piece rears. Really crazy deal from R/Tuning (R/T Tuning?)

With most of your stopping power on the front, you can definitely have good braking with the 2-piece fronts and single piece rears. You would save some weight off the rears with the 2-piece rotors all around. My recommendation would be to get slotted only rotors, not drilled and slotted or drilled alone. They have a tendancy to crack under hard use when they are drilled. Either way they look cool!

Anyone want my rotor covers? They're Slash! JDM rotor covers from Yokohama. They're currently powdered nismo red but they're annodized red underneath. $175 takes the set of 4. They won't fit on my new rotors I'm pretty sure.

They're $200 new assuming you can find them and I paid more to have them powdered:
