:iagree: Heeheehee! Yep! Wasn't it last year that Atlanta got about an inch of snow and they closed the roads after they had massive pile-ups? They'd have had a heart attack, the one morning in Strathroy in the 70's, when we got 18" between 10pm and 6am!  :smilielol:

Denver just got its first dusting of snow last night.  Temp this morning was a brisk 30 degrees.

my biggest issue this year is what to do to my car. 

I am not sure what winter project to tackle this year.

LOL that could be fun...These are a few things I have in mind.

1 - replace the fast ratio pitman and idler arms back to stock ratio, so the steering wheel is centered.

2 - rebuild power steering pump (pretty cheap quick  little project).

3 - quiet the exhaust down, thinking factory style mufflers and maybe removing the always leaking headers for manifolds.

4 - lower the back end of the car down (dearch the leaf springs).

No way I will get all of that done this winter...not enough $$$$  But if a part sale goes through this weekend I may pull the springs off this month and get that done.   :bigsmile:

I have some other small things that I might get done too.  Of course it all depends how motivated I am once the real cold hits.   :swear: :stomp: :banghead:

Wow! Such an extensive list surely calls for a meeting of the minds and some high level discussions. I think you should call local c-c.com members Ian, Doug and Murray to come over and help you with your decision over a few wobbley pops.  :naughty:  :drunk:

Why don't you just pull the steering wheel & crush can and remount it in the center position?
