I see that you are one of those guys with a snow blower (from the tracks). I grew up shoveling the $hit just to have the plow come by!

long story about the snowblower.Originally posted by egneg View PostI see that you are one of those guys with a snow blower (from the tracks). I grew up shoveling the $hit just to have the plow come by!
Okay as most of you know i am quite young. anyway we moved to this house when i was 7 to downsize .. our old house we had a tractor to do the driveway.
any way, well i was 7 so i did the drive way by hand with my parents help.
when i was 12 my elderly neighbors across the street asked me to snow blow there drive way each year if they bought a snow blower... so they did
anyway. when ever there was a snow fall i would go over there ( i had there garage door opener) and blow there drive way and do mine.
well recently this year Ted( neighbor) had surgery on his heart and was in intensive care and is unable to live in the house any more. while Elsie( wife) stayed there until they found a care facility where you could park a car ( wife could drive)
well while they were moving there stuff they gave me the blower because i did there drive way all the time
well they have since moved and this will be the first year when i don't have to do there driveway.
so that is how i got a snow blower.
if it wasn't for that i would still be shoveling.

I liked the snow tire melting joke!!! LoL
Taylor we may have more in common than I thought. In high-school I found a great deal on a 1981 Eldorado. The only problem was it was cream colored! I dealt with it. It looked like a hard top version of this car in lite cream color. Yuk!

Interesting on the Toyota, in the UK. Toyota has a bad reputation and do not keep their value. In North America the reverse...go figure.
