Happy NewYears to you too, Mr Robson! Try to stay off your lips on this festive evening! :mrgreen: I'm going to try and do the same thing. It will be hard though. The wife and I were going to go out but, snow and freezing rain will keep us in. Stopped at the local liquor store tonight. I think we're gonna do some animal tricks. :s003:

Oh!
Happy New Years, to the rest of you, Too!!! :s019:

New Years Day is not normally so snowy here. We just got rid of the snow we had just before Christmas and it came back last night.
Been out with Billy this morning. The park is full of Dads with their kids on sledges. :lol:

Hope everyone is having a good New Year's day without too much of a hangover. No snow here. Had an inch or so earlier in the week but it's all gone, though it is around 18 degrees F or so right now around noon.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!! :)

I wanted to check if I could possible get some better traction this year so I .... went outside and fired her up :s004:
Temperature has been around 3 F for days, but today it reached 16 F - but then again some snow fell from the sky :s008:

By the way: traction was poor. Braking action was poor. Sideways was hilarious

Most Challengers were driven as necessary back in the day. Be it rain, snow, ice, you had to get to work. I know mine has spent a few days out in the elements.

That said, here's to a brighter, more prosperous new year for all of us working class heros. :s017:

Here in the northeast US we've been getting pounded. 12 inches a few days before Christmas, and it had just all melted and now we have 6 inches again. And for New Englanders, people seem pretty bad at winter driving. Maybe that's because I live so close to Rhode Island. :wink: Glad I got my K1500 on the road in time.
