We got about 2 feet of snow between last night and today, I got lots of hooning in, but missed a chance to help some out. On my way home from work I drove past a Saturn that was stuck in an I plowed drive way. However I couldn’t help because my tow rope was still in the Galant.

But I fixed that! I didn’t run into any other stuck cars tho. Hopefully when I do, it won’t be mine...

Also I have the day off tomorrow, and school is canceled so I’m going to take the boy sledding. Which motivated me to finally switch the bindings back to goofie on my old fintail. A few years ago Some one borrowed it, switched it to regular and then didn’t switch it back. It’s way harder to ride than a modern snowboard but it’s the only one I got.

Damn. What year is that board?

I still have a 2000-ish Gnu ... not sure the model, but it’s very stiff and has green flames on it. Ridiculously hard to ride compared to all these modern rocker and hybrid boards. After riding a Burton Flying V about 7 years ago, I’ve wanted a modern board, but I don’t go enough to invest in one. These modern rocker boards are so insanely easy to ride...

Wish my 3 had some tires that could handle the snow when we got some.

Looks good in the snow. Is it pretty composed?

Also, any luck selling the galant?

It’s very composed, the Xdrive is very keen to let you have fun once DTC is shut off. The rear bias gives it less understeer than the 50/50 split the Galant has.

As for selling the Galant I haven’t really tried yet. I put it up on the GVR4 forums and there are some interested people but I’m in no hurry. I haven’t even cleaned it out yet. I’m having a hard time letting it go.

I’ve got Blizzak WS80s 205/55/17. They are amazing. The Cooper run flats it had made even a little bit of snow feel like glare ice.

I did some research when I first got it and found it was an 86-87 I think. I bought it at a Goodwill for like 4 bucks back when Goodwill was really cheap.

There’s some info on the bottom of the boardbut the only relivent googling I could come up with was an old ebay ad for one that didn’t sell. But the seller didn’t know the year of production either.

But it was Walter Feldtanzer. Who’s name also brings up nothing on google.
