Yea, it was lots of fun. As for how I got in, I walked to my uncles house about 10-15 away who sold me the car while my gf stayed & watched the car. Since he was a tow truck driver for AAA I figured he could help. Long cold walk short he had a tool that he slipped threw the door, he rolled the window down and we got the doors unlocked. After that we spent 10min pushing and digging the car out.

duplicolor sells small repair kits, some bondo, sand paper and and paint, along with some tools for the bondo. they have lots of how to vids on their web site, worth a look. they make it look so easy, and it is sorta.

i repaired by whole back bumper and repainted it with rattle can duplicolor. came out great. it was my first time painting something that big too.

That's from sitting there from 930-430. I am stuck at the hardware too. Plows haven't been down our road and I'm not about to attempt 7" of snow and get stuck. Thankfully Lee gets off work at 7 and can come plow me a path home.

This snow sucks!

Finished porting/touching up the Gen V and the LIM for the intercooler. Painted the S/C, valve covers, TB. Got the intake all mocked up to make sure everything fits right.

Got the LIM back on the car inbetween bouts of rain/sleet. Got some of the accessory stuff back on and decided it was too cold.

Drove the minivan around in the snow and did brakes and rotors on a friends grand marquis

Car got left at the hardware. The drift surrounding it got bigger and our road was almost impassable with Lee's truck, so there was no way my car was going to make it.
I poured a bottle of Heet in and let it run for 5ish minutes before I left it. Hopefully I can get it home tomorrow. I'm supposed to try and make it into work tomorrow but I really don't see that happening.

Drove the GTP around a bit, put close to 200-300 miles on it today.. That's actually the most I've driven her since the lim gasket change

Seems like when I'm on the highway my trans temp stays between 150-160, I can get 170 if I push her .. But if I'm in the city she can get up to 206-210 being nice & 225 if I'm rough.

its cooler time^^^^^^

I had to use the snowblower to clear the snow twice, I really don't think I can get much more snow on the lawn by the street/sidewalk, it's a big mountain already. Also cars kept getting stuck in like 3 inches of snow, and they were getting out and pushing. And neighbors were trying to help. Part of it was an operator error thinking more gas=more movement. They were kinda all over the street so I quickly moved my car from the street to the drive (which was no problem for my car). This was right after I moved it, my car was right across from the jeep on the left. I can't believe how bad some cars do in the snow, it's crazy. But this pic was only the first time I went out, I should take another pic of the mound on the lawn since I use the snowblower on my side of the street.
