Default Leaves are fun to drive on! .. and 993 odo tick

Winter is almost here, and I got a little preview of driving on the snow. Leaves are almost as slick! Good times, sorry for making a mess. (I live in the self proclaimed 'city of trees')

Also took a picture of the exact spot my car hit 993

That's a lot of leaves... I have always wanted a video/pic of my car driving through leaves with them blowing up from the car passing..... Unfortunately it is snowing here, so that will most likely not be happening

Mmm. Arena Red, the best color by far. Beautiful here in Colorado.

I parked on some leaves once, had to pull-away and call the fire department.

I want a go pro, and mount it backwards and make the blowing leaves video, but next year.

AND SNOW ALREADY??? I'm not readdyyy!! I've blissfully been dropping the kids off with the summer's on. If it snows, my car will be stuck in the underground parking!

Yep, Arena red is pretty sweet, some nice trees in CO.

Andy; pics or didn't happen (jk). I'll probably be pulling random leaves from random places.

A little early for that! Sounds like you need to visit here again soon...

Shh you guys!! Seriously, anyone in California looking for a mechanic/welder/programmer and all around nice guy?

Don't have to pay me much, get me outta here Someone got a spare room to rent?? This has been my dream to get away to LA/California during the winters.

During any other time, it's great up here, but today to live the delusion, I drove the Miata with the top down (in the snow).

Always snows first or second week of October for the last 40 years. And of course, I always think, this year... this year it will be different! This year it won't magically snow and I'll get another week or two of Indian summer, but, guess who's always wrong??

And to think that we took out something without A/C tonight because the temps dipped into the mid 80's. It's been a miserably hot and rainy late summer here. I think next year we'll try to get away for July, August and September...
