We got a few inches in MN last week. All melted by now but it's 11 degrees (F) outside right now so... Just gotta wait for some precipitation.

As a child of the 80's, I'm going to say something I never, ever, EVER thought I'd catch myself saying....

Nice chevette!

I am so disappointed we didn't get any accumulated snow last night (midtown Detroit). I was eagerly awaiting talking a half hour break from homework to drift, but no. Damn you motha nature.

Yeah, it dipped into the mid 70's here and the humidity dropped into the 20's, so I could definitely tell winter was upon us as well. That's ok, boosted cars LOVE the cooler air, and after a summer of hovering around 100* for most of the last few months, my cars will LOVE the 60's-70's winter air. Brisk.

LOL

We had our first snow last week. All of the forecasters predicted it correctly but the city still didn't put any deicer down on the hills (this ain't no flat Midwestern city) which meant that my commute was brought to a halt by a school bus sideways across a median. I did get to see a lot of lifted 4x4 trucks with oversize tires sliding all over the place. That part was fun.

Toronto is still bone dry. Cold, but dry, nevertheless.

Ohh you have that adult life .... I'm a single college student, I just have to keep myself alive and I'm good.

hahaha, oh how easy it was to only worry about surviving.

Now I have to make sure my kid and dog survive...and kind of my wife. She's an adult tho she can handle that lol.

It was easy then, and a whole lot cheaper, BUT I wouldn't trade it. That little guy is awesome, and soon will become a tool assistant in the garage.

Where you going to school in Detroit? Wayne State? UDM? CCS?

I goto CCS, I also wouldn't trade it, great school.

But, haha glad to hear to you're enjoying it.

Nice, I've got friends that went there! Being in Advertising in Metro Detroit, I've met plenty of CCS grads, haha.

What are you taking?

I'm in Transportation design, a Senior and wouldn't change a thing. I went to Kendall in G.R. for a year first, and while good it didn't beat into a designer like CCS did in the first year.

But I have plenty of friends in Ad and they love it. Small world right?

Advertising around here truly proves how small of a world it is. Each new company I move to someone from my last one that was in my department shows up within a year!

Good luck to you, CCS has a fantastic transport design program! I'm sure I speak for everyone on OPPO by saying we look forward to seeing your cool new designs in the future!
