I Love driving when the weather is crappy, gives me a rush. Never know what these crazies are gonna do! Also love to drift in the snow, but never got the chance to drift my trailer, blackfire :lol:

i used to drive log truck.....ever go sideways on 395 just next to where big R is now? trying to stop for a lil olde lady who wanted to drive the wrong way...drifted SOUTH on the northbound shoulder.....passed 3 cars, then came back on the road......scaled out at Stimsons, and changed pants shortly after......i dropped my coke in my lap, on top of the fries and double quarter pounder. what a way to waste a lunch...just gotta drive into the turn moreso with a trailer.....if it hits your bumper, its cheating....

REDNECKS and hillbillys dont care about snow on roads.......thats why you learn to DRIFT in drivers ed...or at least, i did...the Colville show is ALWAYS good for seeing people too. dealer parking is interesting though...but then again, i have a 7x14 enclosed trailer behind a dodge beast that doesnt turn well...

I can get out my Shine hauler and drift into town :D . Or the old truck with Granny in the back in her rocker :lol:

Still not sure if I will make it or not, got family in from out of town but might try to make it one morning or afteroon. I'd assume for best deals that early the first day is best, but probably wont find what I am after anyways so I guess at least popping in to walk around shows support which is always good if nothing else. :D

I'm torn between going tomorrow morning if I can get a chance since I wasnt able to go today, if nothing else than to just show support for it. I'm still trying to see if I can find a good way to convince my wife to come down to the spokane show in april, but it will be the last weekend before the new baby shows up, so not sure we will make it.

Box of fudge and a chair to relax in, you know the way to a pregnant women's heart!

She wouldnt go with me though, probably spend the time with her family since they live down there, but taking some fudge home to her is something I could defiantly use to my advantage.

Ya, like there is a TON of room behind that table with me and RLHas back there :o . I was thinking about renting out lazy boy recliners in all the extra space! :lol:
