    Lived in the Louisville area for 20 years. I survived the big tornado of '74 that destroyed much of Cherokee Park and the east end of Louisville. When I was building my house, it snowed 18 inches one night and the next week's high was zero. I will trade sandballs for snowballs any day.

    My best drive across the Sherman Minton was in my '81 Corvette. I nailed it on the Ky side and kept it down until the front end started lifting off the ground and floating. The speedometer only registered up to 85. When I let off it, it took almost a mile to get it back down to 85.

    I won't tell you I drove to work every day this past week with the top down on my '69 Cougar conv.

    Had sleet and ice here. Fortunately we have had enough bad weather that the bad drivers are finally learning how to drive in it. :thumbs2:

    I think Todd has the right idea, time to break in the new 0 wt rod. :bananaman

    E-brake while in reverse can be a fun activity as well. Watch out for curbs though...ouch!
