Default "There may be a little snow up there"

I appraise real estate for a living. I had to go to home the other day (Weston, Oregon) that I knew was up on a mountain. The owner lives in Seattle and hadn't been to the house in a little while. So I asked him if there was any snow on the roads. He said "there may be a little snow up there." I couldn't get to his cabin as it lies down a 1/2 mile private driveway that was under about 6 feet of snow. But I figured I'd use the background for a few car photos. These are my first photos posted on here. Let me know what you guys think. By the way, those are my 16" snow wheels with the Blizzaks.

OK, I guess they are a bit too large. I don't know how to make it smaller. Can someone resize them if I email originals to you?

I can't believe you took a rear wheel drive vehicle known to be horrible in the snow on a mountain that has 6 foot of snow dropped on it.

You are CRAZY man!
