Pics from the Eyes of the Driver

[Sir ffeJ]

Here is my view of the drive home in Monday's snow storm.

Yes that is a road in front of me!

Me thinks you need new wipers. Drive safe

I had that epiphany also. They really aren't too bad in the rain, but this snow was coming down heavy.

 

[danj]

Not sure what this car is but it was sexy. Any guesses?

Its a 1965 Dodge Monaco

I think that's bird shit on my window![emoji15]

M119 Howitzers, wish I had an opportunity to shoot light artillery rather and heavy/self-propelled... Blah

 

[Capote]

TBSS, of coarse just another one driven by some middle aged woman.....everyone in this town, but 2 are owned by non TB enthusiasts... sad...



Very clean debadged Altima, had an exhaust, but too quite for my taste

 

[dmanns67]

At least this guy gave everyone a fair warning, even though I had already slowed down by the time I could read the sticker.

 

[djthumper]

Maybe I need one of those on the front of my TB.

 

[Capote]

Badass oldschool Chevy I frequently see on post
The sticker on the bumper reads: "If you value your life as much as I value this truck, don't mess with it"

 

[Mounce]

Looks like a 60's model. I've got a 65 GMC stepside (looks a lot like that Chevy) that's been in the family since 65.. Needs a ton of work but I'm planning to restore it.

Btw, I like the bumper sticker..I'll have to get me one.

Camera was attached to a mono-pod that was strapped to the passenger seat. Thirty second exposure. Also set a three second delay so me pushing the shudder button did not move the camera.

Whoops. That's not BT in the mini van is it?

 

[BC backroader]

Here's a couple of shots of my friendly local dormant volcano, Mt. Baker, just south of the US border, in Wa., taken from the passenger seat by my son on the way home to Abbotsford at dusk today:

Is that McDonalds sign for the pilots flying past it...

 

[Blckshdw]

Not a good sign to see a fire truck and ambulance pulling into your complex as you come home. Fortunately there was no smoke in the air, and they headed to the other end of the complex from me.

 

[Sib]

Times like this is why I love my 4x4. I ways seem to get behind 2WD sedans and have to crawl though. .

 

[dmanns67]

Got a few inches of snow last night/this morning. Of course none of the roads have been touched and both primary back road routes to I-81 were blocked due to accidents. At least I got to exercise the 4WD

 

[Eric04]

So we had a quiet December but winter is trying to catch up. Sticking to the road like Velcro so far though.

 

[Midnyteryder196]

Since there few snow pics already..

 

[Denali n DOO]

What are you driving?

 

[Midnyteryder196]

03 freighliner Columbia.. My 3rd vehicle.. Lol

 

[Denali n DOO]

Nice, my buddy drives a newer Volvo automatic and hates it in the snow!

 

[Midnyteryder196]

I would hate an auto too! Autos are for girls..

 

[Mounce]

XUV, first time I've seen one in person with it's top back(forward) and window down.

Traffic jam....so glad I don't live in Toronto!

 

[dmanns67]

Goofy longed haired hippie in a ricer wanted to play on my way to work. VTEC did NOT kick in yo... Tried to get a pic of him in my rear view mirror

 

[DAlastDON]

First snow since i got the envoy. Went out tooling around in 2WD on some roads that had not been plowed yet. Just an inch or two with ice underneath. Made it up the hills but was not impressed with the traction of the all seasons. I was not expecting much out of them though. With stabilitrak on there was virtually no wheel spin and i could take off fairly quick. That impressed me.

Catching up on this thread...

Once I was cruising down the highway chatting on my ham radio and guy goes to pass me, looks over, sees me on the microphone and hits the brakes. Like the cops are driving Dodge Shadows.

 

[djthumper]

LOL I get that all of the time.

 

[Playsinsnow]

LOL I get that all of the time.

I saw you posted here and was really hoping to see some that of scenery you have. :blush:

 

[djthumper]

On my way back from one of our other facilities. A train in the middle of town.

 

[dmanns67]

We got slammed by the winter storm last night/early this morning. 35-40 minute drive home took about 90 minutes. Snowing so hard I could not see, then switched to rain, back to snow, then rain Interstate was one lane rolling at 30mph. Back roads were worse.



Worst part of the drive is the steep down hill with a 50° turn at the bottom. If you slide off of the road, you drop 15' into someone's yard

 

[DAlastDON]

Same winter storm front that got us. Looks like you had more moisture. The road i turned down had a long hill going down with a sharp curve at the bottom with trees to stop you from going off a cliff. I chickened out and got on a plowed road and went home. Glad you made it home.

 

[Mark20]

15N out of Williamsport, PA. Only a few other cars on the road.
