Took Gustav up to the snow and used a shovel to dig out the BMW. Took about 1 hour. People around here cannot drive for crap. ANd my last complaint is take the goddamn snow off you car before you drive it. Its not a trophy and it does not look cool. _________________ Spelling in my post may or may not be correct.

I was comming back from Magalia and a big chunk slammed into my window. My wifes car was covered but I knocked it all off. Some of that stuff comming off looks like it can do alot of damage. Another car came by me, on 99 and Cohassett, with a chunk of ice. The ice block slide by me on the freeway. I just watched go by in the fast lane. I thought to myself. I have NEVER been passed by ice. Then it all came apart in the center divider. _________________ Spelling in my post may or may not be correct.

I bought one of those Tirfor/Grip Hoist winches when GoWesty put them on sale... Bought a cheap version of that extra pulley for extra traction... Bought an engine web sling rated at 6500 pounds for a tree collar... Bought a 'hook' trailer hitch around which the cable could go... Bought a locking trailer pin...
Because when Winston got stuck, I tore up my rotator cuff trying to push him out of it!
I have somewhat less than $500 in the whole rig.
Best! _________________ 'Winston,' '84 1.9 WBX Westy
