Another beautiful day in Northern California! Highway 1 between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.

Happy Birthday Giles!!!

They fit and look great on you @trail and arrow! Did you have them hemmed at all?

@Giles your grandfather had excellent taste! I'd take it in a heart beat too!

@louisbosco once it gets rolling it'll run through fresh powder or falling snow like butter. After the snow plows have run through, it's just about gaining some traction and a feel for the iciness of the road. After 2 years of putting snow chains on our F150, I was over it and decide on the Beast. Lock the front hubs, put it in 4x4 and go!

I've always wanted to own a crew cab Raptor, perhaps in a few years and sooner if a 50th Anniversay Bullitt Mustang doesn't see production  :D!

@Seul very true! Though blasting Paysage d'Hiver, Metallica or even Megadeth while driving for over an hour through that snowstorm would have been too much for my passengers to handle!  ???

Thanks @Seul! I was very fortunate to have a father that loved and shared his passion for working on and owning cars. As for the snow pics… yes I was driving (after the windshield was cleared off). That particular year the snowfall was so heavy, our family friends had to leave their mini van at the cabin we stayed at, and 7 of us safely and somewhat comfortably made it down to the lower elevation easily in the black behemoth. And it's been driven in far worse conditions at night heading to Lake Tahoe, where even other vehicles with snow chains were told to stop and turn around by the California Highway Patrol! 16 years and coming up on 200K miles it's been one off my best investments, gets us where we want, hauls what we want, and still imho looks fantastic compared to the H2s and Chevy Tahoes my friends and coworkers have bought and sold over the years.

Simply gorgeous to wake up to... snow, snow, snow!
