#1 Sleep becomes a hobby

#2 Amount of money I spend on gasoline drops drastically

#3 Cant break the car if you dont drive it

#4 More sex

#5 Snowmobiling

#6 Offseason to conjur up new ideas

#7 see pic below....snowmobiling hahahah

Unfortantly all we have here is cold and very little snow. I would love to have a snowmobile....

That isn't an RMK, tsk tsk jk. I wish it would snow here, not enough snow in the Rockys in colorado to take a sled up last time I checked, really blows. What do you think it would take to ship my lead sled to alaska, lol.

 

[evoish]

I love the snow. AWD is fun stuff.

 

[Ghoust]

You forgot one more thing. Saving mileage on the Cobra in Winter!

word to the snowmobiling and AWD fury! Check out my girl's post for some idea of what goes on here on the weekends with dad's X5 and other random scubbies.


I actually look forward to winter in some cases:beer:

(and skiing)

Nope...isnt a RMK hahha good catch, pic of my buddy on his 01 Mountain Cat 136. Took a hit and got alot of snow to the face, so I took some pics.

Check out pic below....cobra gets more buried, more than it already is. Its coming down, looks like winter is makin up for the past 2-3 we have had shitty. One thing about Alaska is the mountain start at sealevel, my house is at sealevel. Mountains get pounded.

Weather pattern is odd this year, everything is coming in from west so the mountain up north or gettin hammered, and down south is gettin less snow. They usually swirl up from the south.

while we're all showing off, I've got an older Powder Special and my dad has an 800 Mountain Max and a Thundercat 1000 (999 in reality). I can't wait to get up to the hills :thumbsup:

 

[broke7]

sure that isnt a 700 Mountain Max hehehe yami never made a 800

The Tcats are badass no dought. Although the new 900 Mountain Cats are insane, they are makin some pretty crazy sleds outa the factory now.

Hey, how does your beast handle being under the tarp? Or is it a different car?

I did that with my other Stang in PA and the thing rusted on the inside; moisture got trapped in the interior.

Just curious...

Its pretty dry here actually, the humidty in alaska isnt bad at all. That is what makes the cold liveable. Its been under the tarp for about 1 month now, I started it up last week and all looked fine on the inside and outside. If It was humid here was humid...oh my....

Its under the tarp. I had it out right before it snowed on the bald F1's and it was no fun, but on good snow tires and some weight in the trunk I think it would be manageable.

Ironically we usually gets some snow, and it melts, it repeats this cycle on off threw november early december. Well right before it snowed my roomate had to work on his modded AWD Talon, it snowed 2 days later, and never warmed up, so im kinda stranded. Gonna take alot of scraping and melting to get it back in the garage.

That's good to hear! I hate to hear stories about perfect cars rotting under cruddy conditions. I used to run a dehumidifier in my cars when the weather got sticky. Definitely helped. The only other problem I had was nasty little critters making a home in the glove box.:nonono:

Winter? Its winter?? Um, it still gets up into the 90s here :-(

 

[ssssnake]

We don't really have seasons here. It's either hot or hotter. It won't start getting nasty until about January or February. But even then, no ice or snow.

 

[Sailing2Smth]

**** that!
I hate the winter, even though I did 2yrs in Misawa I still cannot adjust to the cold air and snow!

 

[SinisterX]

Im STILL waiting for it
