^^^^ No doubt! Every week I don't drive my car is costing me about $500 in mods! My new wheel from Dallas Custom Wheel is supposed to be here today!

62 and sunny here in Northern California today (San Francisco Peninsula). Unfortunately my wife drives the car to work so I'm stuck with my Audi Q5. Nice enough ride but ... definitely not a P-car!

Spent my children's spring break in April there a couple of years ago -- brother-in-law lived in Arvada then -- and experienced all four seasons in a week. Hot sun, changing to wind/rain, then snow, then wind/rain, and back to warm sun. Eerie!

He now lives in northern Denver, brand-new house, and we're coming again this April for a visit.

Meh, I'd experience all four seasons in one drive. , went from 80's and sunny, to 60's and raining, to 32 and snowing and back to 60's and sunny. But I love it.

I was running with 19" all season tire last month, and I run over a giant piece of ice on the road, I thought I was slow enough to run over it, but you know what, I lost grip and almost hit curb, i was so lucky that I wasn't on highway.
I watch the news last night, there was a 19yr old guy crash his Audi S5 in NY, both he and his 16yr old girl friend died.
Those sports car is just too bad for winter.

Thank goodness you were fine and what a shame for the couple.

I didn't believe it myself, but nothing beats winter tires under 40 degrees. Cars were sliding all over last Saturday when the snow storm hit. My P-car with winter tires had no problems.

Thanks man, I didn't see P-cars out there since the snow was so bad in NYC, is your baby rwd or awd? I am surprised that you have no problems even with winter tires.
My civic is like a snake on the highway when the first snow hit.

I had no choice. Let my pops take my pathfinder and my baby wanted some apple juice. Round trip was only 2 miles.
I have to thank my buddy. He kept insisting I get em, so just to get him off my back I picked up a used set of Dunlop winter 3d's off of craigslist.
BTW my p-car is a c2s cab.
