[FX45] More snowwww

[gmgagne]

well, northern virginia is getting more and more snow, kind of annoying but fun with the cars! This is the first time my 45 has seen the snow, and it is much easier to get sideways with the torque than my 35. some pics, the car is filthy any who, yesterday when it was dry, i was driving on some back roads (Hunter Mill road) and i turned left and there was a straight, so i got into it and hit about 40, when 5 deer run right in front of my 35 and i had to stand on the brakes, ABS kicked in. When i stopped, the closest deer was about 2 feet from my bumper, and after that pack, about 4 others ran behind me. Veryyy close call, and would have been a messy morning. That was the fun on friday, not really.

heres some pics

Very nice photos. I like the contrast of the snow and your AC FX. The 2-6 inches we're expecting in NYC should be here by tomorrow evening. I'm itching to take off my snow tires but will have to wait. =P

[theMerchant]

Eibachs seem to ride lower in the rear, from what I noticed. you can see gto's pics and they are the same way.

[gmgagne]

yes it does ride lower in the rear. i cant fit two of my fingers in between the wheel and the fender in the rear (pointer finger and middle finger), its about one and a half of my pointer finger. the front, i can fit both of my fingers perfectly.
