Found a great deal locally on craigslist and I am glad to be ready for my first winter with my 996. Who knows, Minnesota winter could start anytime.

A set of turbo twists (reps I believe) wrapped in brand new Blizzak winter tires came with my C4S when I purchased. I think I'm going to be selling them since I don't plan on driving mine in the winter.

I sold my twist, once the sand hits the roads here in Rhode Island my car goes into hibernation. I love fall driving though, best time of the year to take the cars out. It's not too hot from the heat and the car runs crisper from the cool air. I love getting in the car with my girlfriend and hitting some back roads. I wish fall would get here!!!

I love Hakkapellitas (though I am confident I didn't spell that properly!)

I love my c4 in the winter. It's the chicago potholes that keep it in the garage though.

It's not too late at all! I've already created winter threads myself. Inventory has either just arrived or is on it's way. Sept. is the best time to buy. Supply on good tires last year was pretty low as many of you found out, so don't get stuck this year.

Please give me a call direct if interested. I'm here for 6speed

Anyone interested in buying my 17" turbo-look wheels with only 7,900 miles on them? Remember, smaller tires are better in the winter.
