I admit I was totally lazy. Opened up the garage door. Took the pic and closed the garage door. You can see gloves ontop of the car and my snow blower who got rid of the 4 inches of snow we got yesterday. I have not taken the car out for 2 days. Today UK was closed.
You can my neighbors Christmas lights in the snow.

Here?s my non-car hobby. Not the ZHP, but our other vehicle, a 2021 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium. We are in Death Valley doing some 4-wheeling and camping. This is at The Geologists Cabin after we went thru Goler Wash and Mengel (mangled!) Pass. This is totally stock. There are no mods, suspension, sliders or anything of that sort. The only thing we did was upgrade our tires to Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws in E load rating.

Thanks! It was an absolute blast!!!

In the 60?s, the electric 12-string Rickenbacker became VERY famous due to The Beatles George Harrison and The Byrds Roger McGuinn. Not to mention Led Zeppelin?s Jimmy Page with his Gibson double-neck (6 string and 12 string) behemoth.

Anyways, back to your regular programming?
