Almost lost my GN in an Ice storm 2 yrs ago

[bogie1]

I never had a garage for my 1986 GN that I bought new. Two years ago we had a horrendis ice srorm here in NC. When I woke up in the morning I looked out side and my heart was in my throat. I lost 20 % of the timber off my land to this storm and almost lost my GN.
My wife and I bought a saw mill and built a 3 car garage from the downed trees. Never again will she have to sit out and endure the elements.

Damn, I would have just sat there and stared for a couple days. Thats a pretty neat picture.

It is an awesome pic....in a sickening kind of way, lol.

I just watched a show last night on the National Geographic channel about killer ice. They had a bit on the huge ice storm that blanketed Candada and the northeast US awhile ago. I still remember trying to scrape 3/8" thick ice off of my Jeeps windshield.

WOW. Any damage to the car or did all that lumber just fall all around it?

The picture is deceiving, The GN basicly made it out without a scratch. It did take a while to move all the debris but as you know you can't drive your turbo T's with a banna peel on the raod no less icy roads.

Looks like a helluva storm tho. You really lucked out. We get a little ice and snow up here in New England every now and then. Ive only driven my GN in the snow once, it was fun considering I only went 30ft. to the nearest open parking lot.
