Snow, Snow, Snow Everywhere.... And its Bloody Cold

So as some of those know, up here in W.Wa we are getting some aggressive winter weather.  Thanks La Nina.  I was looking forward to snow here in the lowlands.  There is a reason why I go to the mountains to board.  There is a difference just so you know.  There is a reason why I like your brother El Nino better.  He actually listens and is smarter of the two of you.

Not digressing too much though.  Today was nuts.  It got down to 20 degrees F, which felt like 6 degrees F due to the windchill.  And when I say windchill, I mean seeing 'sheet's of snow going sideways or standing outside and feeling like I just went face first into a pile of snow after taking a spill on my board.  I do have to say one thing go, it is very pretty.

Pictures from last night... Light snow came down that didnt stop me from driving to work this morning.  Despite that, there was a lot more snow on her before heading to work.  After work, left her at work.  Too unsafe to drive home.  My poor baby.  Micah, she'll be ok and I'm picking her up tomorrow.

And here are some pictures of tonight, from my front door and at the house itself.

And a picture of how much snow was on my deck.  I have heard it was deeper in other places in W.WA, but yeah, my entire exposed finger was covered by snow.  I would say at least five centimeters

And here is a picture of my back yard.  Sucks, the battery in my S12 is flat, so I need to get a trickle charger or take it to the shop and get it charged.

Stuck in a Rut

As with most people, if someone is able to own a car, they tend to own multiples.  I can testify to this.  Since purchasing my first car in 2004, I've had many cars since then.  Granted, it's been an excessive 19 to date ranging from 1984 to 1991.  However, the first car I bought thankfully I still have.  It has been my most audacious project and one that took a lot of effort on part of many people.


They also say a car tells a lot about the owner.  Well that must be true with me.  I currently own 3 cars, all of which share one large commonality: design.  I currently own a 1984 Porsche 944, a 1987 Nissan S12, and a 1991 Mazda RX-7.

As stated earlier, they all have the same design.  From the pictures posted, it is quite apparent.  Many people I know have been slightly confused.  School, work, or other, they all know that whichever one I drive, it's my car.

I was recently told by a classmate that she knew it was my car because it looked like the car I drove the previous week until she got up close and realized it was different.  A coworker told me that he knew which car I drove to work because despite it being different, it fit my personality.  He knew it was not the same car i drove the day before, but knew which car was mine without prior knowledge of me obtaining a new car.  It seems that anyone who has a decent feel for who I am, can easily pick out what car it is that I would most likely be driving in a parking lot.  It is kinda humorous.

In short, I must be predictable in my mannerisms concerning cars.  As is obvious, all three cars are black.  They are all RWD, fastbacks/hatchbacks, have sunroofs, pop-up headlamps, long bonnets, and are all with a sports bias.
