Last Friday night I drove up from New Jersey to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to spend the weekend. I had planned on leaving on Sunday afternoon, but the deluge of snow made it impossible for me to leave until Thursday afternoon.

I left my Pro5 in a parking lot over the weekend, where it got buried under two feet of snow plus a good deal more from the plows.



Check out all the photos here:

The drive was about 500 miles round-trip, the longest I've taken in the P5 since I got it in August. Even with the snow, it handled the drive like a champ and was a super-comfortable ride. Long live the Pro5!

 

i see you went to hartford connecticut, are you going to make the kent connecticut meet?????? on may 3rd.

 

Just found the thread about the Kent meet and the sign-up...

I usually don't think that far ahead, but I'm guessing I won't make it since Kent is a good three hours away. Although, the first PCA Autocross of the 2003 season is the weekend before at the Meadowlands, so it could make for a solid few weeks of driving to start the spring...who knows!

Thanks for the heads up-

 

Cool, it must of been fun taking off all that snow

 

Hey, i was also driving around connecticut during the snow storm. Only had the stock tires on but I survived Slid at a couple of spots but never felt really out of control.

What's funny though is i usually spend under 2 hours on the highway per day and i barely see any proteges or protege5s. HOwever, during the snow storm, i saw 5 protege/p5s out there
