here is my most active winter beast.does anyone have theres hotroded. for some of us are cars are now in full winter storage as the snow has come upon us so i thought it would be fun to show off the snow blowers for now. LOL the chally is a little upset as the snow blower parks beside her and my chevelle.

Yeah, we recieved an inch last night.(Sounds like my wife)! I hate winter. I stay inside as much as I can! With three 4x4's vehicles we dont even attempt to shovel out. Last year we only recieved 4" Total for the whole season! We used to get many feet total and as a kid I remember snowmobiles, ski's, snow blowers like your's ect.. sometimes it will get 60+ degrees F. in the middle of winter! At that time, when it does get 'warm' and there is no salt or gravel on the road and the road is 'clean and dry' the R/T comes out to play!!

BTW, Danny do you 'twist' your lanyards on the front pull pins? You know, to keep the lanyard off the paint. Ever thought about clear 3m removable tape to prevent scratching? I remember those lanyards 'feathering' the paint when I was a kid and was wondering what you or anyone else does. I just twist the lanyard to a position where it wont rub back and forth on the shiny paint.

i guess you are refering to the hood pins. my chally and chevelle have theses lawn yards what a funny term---but yes mine are twisted so they kind of hang upwords away from the paint,also i just take them off carefully and slowly all the time. that 3M idea is good but i will not put it on. i find the challenger pins to be much tighter fitting than my chevelle pins. sometimes the pins are on there so tight that when i pull they go flying near the paint,i put my other hand kind of under the pin before i pull so if it does pull out quiker than i expect the other hand will kind of catch the lanyard before it hits the paint. just be carefull!!!

Try pushing the pin out from the pin itself with your thumb then gently pull from the rear. It's much more controlled that way. The first time I went to open my hood I almost opened it without removing those pins!
