My Boxster saw snow!
 
To some of you this may not be a big deal, but here in New Orleans seeing snow is a weird thing. I went to go to work today and my car was in the driveway covered in snow! :D

Rick V 12-11-2008 03:54 PM

Hahahaha Ya'll can keep that stuff way down south where it belongs. :)

Sputter 12-11-2008 04:09 PM

:) Nice pictures, the one driving in particular.
The only time mine sees snow is when I open the garage door other than that snow is pretty common north of the 49th.
:cheers:

Nice boots. Can we see a picture of you wearing them driving your boxster? :cheers:

A hurricane and snow in the same year? It must be the end of days! :D

Jaxonalden 12-11-2008 05:07 PM

I'd like to see a picture of you also Love Bunny. I'd actually like to see pictures of everyone on this board so I can put a face to the names. I don't suppose that would go over to well would it? If not, Merry Christmas to you all that I have had the pleasure of corresponding with this year.

LoveBunny 12-11-2008 05:43 PM

I can't drive in those boots, so no pics of me driving in them. I can't find any pictures of me wearing them either, but here's a pic of me and some friends. I'm the one in the middle.


We get snow so rarely here that it's a big event, even that little bit, which was really like driving in rain. Here's a silly little video some people in our office did this morning because of the snow.

Hahaha!

Yep, they are pretty expensive boots, but worth every penny.

Jaxonalden 12-11-2008 07:17 PM

LoveBunny,

All I can say is "Whoa mam-ma!" You are one beautiful woman that has great taste in automobiles. I like the YouTube video with snow on the palm trees!

coreseller 12-11-2008 07:55 PM

Dang Global Warming........

nola911 12-11-2008 08:13 PM

I did the same thing this morning- took pictures of everything. I mean everything. This was one for the books!

unklekraker 12-11-2008 08:16 PM

No need to see your pix coz' when I saw what kind of boots you wear...I have to call my wife to pick my jaw off the floor... :D :D :D

See, LB..you made me break my silence on replying to the thread of any forums :eek:

Thank you!

And maxferran, when I was driving downtown I saw tons of people everywhere taking pictures. We get so excited here about something that is just a normal occurence in other cities. I'm wondering tomorrow if it'll be icy though and dangerous to drive. All I know is right now I am FREEZING! I have on sweats and a robe and fuzzy booties and the heat is cranked up and I still can't get warm.

Sorry about that. You should buy some of those boots for your wife for Xmas. :D

ekam 12-12-2008 04:08 AM

See, this is why I still hadn't regret my purchase of this car since I knew there would be awesome people like you.

You opt for the 997 turbo wheels on your box AND you have great taste in shoes? This makes 9/10 guy's head explode.

IMO, 5-spoke wheels = stilletos = yummy.

I'm still looking for my carrera lights dammit. :mad:

bmx672 12-12-2008 04:49 AM

I can't feel sorry for you... I've already used my snowblower four times since Thanksgiving...:(

It' ironic too... last night we played you guys in football and Harry Connick Jr, is playing in Chitown currently as well. Even trade! We get your people up here and you get some of our snow! haha.

dmcutter 12-12-2008 06:07 AM

Hey LB, what kind of tires do you run? I hope you weren't cheating death driving in the snow on PS2's! And I'm betting that you probly didn't opt for heated seats...

How come I don't ever see babes like you when I go to lawyers' offices or court? :confused:

I already did last week before we went out on our monthly date :D

*sending you the pix of my wifey wearing it.....

Lil bastard 12-12-2008 07:56 AM

Where I'm from that doesn't even count as snow... just a morning 'dusting'!

Love your fine city all the same!!

Be careful when driving the Boxster... (or those boots) in weather like that !!

:cheers:

Actually, I did get heated seats and they were worth every penny. I wasn't going to and the salesman sold me on them by pointing out that us southernerns aren't used to cold. I was like yep, true, I hate cold weather, and I have used them tons of times already. They are also good like a heating pad if I have a back ache.


I wasn't actually driving in the snow. The ground was just wet, not icy even. The snow melted as it hit. I didn't have any problem with traction but I did drive slowly.

Samson 12-12-2008 01:04 PM

Somehow I don't think I'd get the same level of response if I made a post about my Boxster and some snow... ;)

dmcutter 12-12-2008 01:37 PM

Who knows? Post a picture of your sexiest boots...

Do you giggle like a school girl, jumping up and down like a bunny when you see snow? :p

Now LB, what about the earlier request for a photo of you driving the Box with those boots on...I can only assume he meant just those boots. After all, you do have heated seats.

Dude... you need to spend some time watching "What Not to Wear"... all black just seems a bit... Marilyn Mansonish... ;)

Thanks for your service!

Grizzly 12-12-2008 04:40 PM

Why'd it have to be Marlyn Manson-ish. It couldn't have been Neo-ish?

http://www.dailygalaxy.com/photos/un...time_neo_2.jpg

Actually, with my three furballs running around, I usually go out looking like I'm wearing an Angora snowsuit.

I didn't see any sunglasses (of course I didn't notice any makeup either)... so hey, if you want your style to be considered Neo-ish, who am I to judge... ;)

Grizzly 12-12-2008 04:47 PM

If I just could stop bullets like that, I'd have several less holes. :(

I really can't drive with those boots on or any heels for that matter. I can't push the clutch with heels.

I need to take a picture with your guns and my boots though and then we'll have the perfect picture.

I think if it ever snows again I'll have to be prepared and have in my car a pair of clear stripper heels, a gun, a whip, and some panties to throw into the picture to make it interesting.

ISUnorth 12-12-2008 09:43 PM

Okay, I was driving around New Orleans yesterday but it was in a very pedestrian Pontiac rental mobile. Was staying on St. Charles and it was sort of cool to see the street cars running in the snow. Drove out to look at the hurricane protection project between the Orleans Avenue Canal and the London Avenue Canal and they had the bridges closed because of the weather. Being a northerner I just drove around the barricades. :)

BTW, my Boxster is hibernating in my garage here in Minnesota.

LoveBunny 12-12-2008 09:50 PM

I know all you northerners just laugh at how excited we get here over snow. I can't even tell you how many people I saw taking pictures yesterday when I was leaving my neighborhood. My brother even called me from his software training he's in this week to ask if I could take pictures of the snow. I have a friend who is also a court reporter like me and she refused to go to her job because she said who's going to pay for her car if she wrecks, and she drives an SUV. She thought I was nuts to go, but there wasn't really snow on the ground so it wasn't bad.

vath2001 12-13-2008 03:11 AM

Ah.. New Orleans in the Winter Time. Nothing quite like the sound of newly fallen snow crunching under your tires as you pull out of the garage.

Do you own an ice scraper?

I knew this would become a popular thread once the focus shifted from snow to boots..... :) And darn it if it only snows in New Orleans so infrequently...


Bob C Springs, CO where I see lots of snow AND boots...

dmcutter 12-13-2008 06:00 AM

Hey Grizzly, thanks for the cool pic. I got all excited when I saw the HK bag, but where are your HKs? Your back up piece looks to be a Sig 239, and I can't quite make out your other piece-S&W? Do you have an MP5 stashed in the bag?

And ++1 on LB in nuttin' but the boots and heated seats...

Jaxonalden 12-13-2008 06:49 AM

Love Bunny,

Seems you've really beat the bushes on this site. We're talking cars, guns, 6" pumps, heated seats, snow and a picture of you. Life is good!!

ekam 12-13-2008 08:41 AM

As a reminder to you all who read this thread. She actually FITS in the frunk. Nice and compact, I like. :D :dance:

I would show my botts like Grizzly but I'm afriad I might scare the audience here.

Dai 12-13-2008 09:39 AM

O.K. I finally dig my car out of the snow but before I did that I took some photos to show you southerner what it like here in the frozen land. The temperature today is -10F or -24C. I couldn't open my front trunk because it is frozen solid. I have to take the car to an underground parking in order it to thaw out.

LB, we all love your boots.
