Our First Snow

TalkSpringfield — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:15:27 +0000

I hope you have new tires on your car! We had our first real snow this weekend and boy was it slippery. I had the privilage of driving in it last Saturday and Sunday. I drove in a 4×4 this year. It made a huge difference!

Just drive safe. Remember to start out slow and slow down farther down the road than you would usually.

If you get stuck in snow you can always try some sand or cat litter behind the tire that spins. If you can, dig your tires a path before you try and leave.

A reader had added: “When driving a rear wheel drive vehicle. If you get stuck and one wheel spins, you can try applying the parking brake slightly, only slightly, this fools the rear end gears into sending torque to the other side of the car and may get you moving again. Don’t forget to release the brake once you are moving again. Good tip if you can’t find sand or cat litter.

Black Friday

TalkSpringfield — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:46:48 +0000

Is it just me or does black Friday not seem that appealing anymore? Maybe its because I dont want anything right now, or maybe its the ability to already get pretty decent deals thanks to the internets.

Incase you didnt know, black friday is the common term that is used to describe the day after thanksgiving that most large companies have sales after midnight. During this time products are usually sold at drastic reduction in prices. This is a good way to clear inventory on items they no longer wish to have in stock. You will often find deals from 60-90% off retail.

The problem with this sale now is that most companies now have a warehouse where they sell to you directly. Prices are already low enough to not have to get out of bed and wait in a line until a store opens at midnight.

Any of you going to participate in Black Friday? In case you just found out about this and want to see whats for sale, check out http://www.gophn.com/deals-black-friday-2009/
