Right...its spring isn't it. Hows the weather in your neck of the woods? We're in the middle of a blizzard thats dumped 10" so far and still coming. Massive 100 car pile up on Highway 2 into Edmonton. Hundreds injured. Highway closed north and southbound. Highway 16 east bound into Edmonton at a standstill. 15 minute drive to work took 2+hours tonight. Ya its spring in Alberta.

hopefully that's the last big snowfall. was a lot of fun driving the g8 around town. G8 turned into a slow plow when i entered my alley way. good thing i have good neighbors who helped me push the g8 back home lol.

Here here to shiny cars! I can't get over your "snow plow" picture partagas. Besides the snow its the potholes this year already. I have never seen it this bad. We're talking "sinkhole" size here! But your right G8chick it does sound like the week is going to end warm. Still -16 this morning though.

I agree with the potholes! I come up to Edmonton once a month for practice with my dog and couldn't believe it! Red deer fixes are right away usually

They could spend 6 mil on 50th street and then what will they do with the other 200+ streets. I hear you partagas cause my 20's are on and I'm thinking about throwing the 18's back on its so bad. That Corso/Kooks combo you videod really barks. Its a higher pitched sound compared to my solo and your headers really bring it out. Played it for the wife and got a " No @**) )^#% +^! " if you get my meaning. Should be nice in Calgary this weekend. Supposed to be warm. Enjoy!

What kind of bow wow do you have G8chick? We have a senior shar pei and a junior schnauzer. both spoiled.

I have a 3 yr old blue heeler, we go up for flyball practice ( like drag racing with dogs) and we are learning agility. I'm dying to put my rims on but it'll be atleast a month yet :( I'm heading to airdrie Sunday for nice weather lol! It's always a few degrees warmer down there
