    I moved it a little bit and the check tranny light was no longer on... maybe it healed itself? Yeah right... it's going into the shop ASAP!
    My VX never made out of its parking spot in front of my condo. Snowplows immediately encased it in a 4ft snow fortress this morning. I'm waiting for the guys to come back and dig me out tomorrow morning now that the blizzard has stopped.

    Hey VXaddict...

    I'm PMing you my phone #... call if you want me to try to pull you out of that drift.

    I just pulled out a stuck Kia Sorrento from across the street. There were a bunch of people trying to shovel/snow blow it out of the parking space, and they were amazed when I pulled a U-turn out of my spot, hooked them up & got them on their way in 2 minutes...

    The VX ROCKS!!!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    i wish you guys could send some of that show our way... we have plenty of cold this week, but very little snow

    i LOVE it when you get huge amounts of snow like Gill's pic

    It's hard to believe so many people would even get on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago with 70 mph winds coming off the lake in a blizzard.

    Another storm will bring snow to Houston tomorrow and ice and snow in many of the same places as it heads for the northeast on Saturday.

    And we thought last winter was amazing. This is gonna be a crazy month!

    That first photo of an abandoned Lake Shore Drive (LSD) will probably be THE representative pic for the Chicago 2011 blizzard. However I haven't seen the other two. I did see a really creepy one of an abandoned CTA bus with the doors left open. All of the seats were covered in snow and the whole thing just looked 'dead' and ancient.

    It kinda looks like there may be a baby seat under all that snow.

    Why would anyone abandon their car with the door open like that?

    My theories: (1) someone took the opportunity to break into an abandoned car, (2) wind blew something that broke it, (3) plain old vandalism

    I was just thinking that Speed TV show with O'Hare Towing in Chicago must have a bunch of great stories from this blizzard for new shows.

    Lake Shore Drive was open this morning. They must have worked around the clock to get all those vehicles and snow removed.

    This morning in Tucson it was freak'in 17 degrees with the wind chill 3 degrees...in TUCSON! Needless to say I still ran but relegated the bike to the indoor trainer. To cold for me. The good news is just as fast as it came (2 days ago we were in the 70's) it will be gone. Mid 50's tomorrow, 60's friday and back to the usual 70's by the weekend.
