I am packing the car in a few and I have a pretty small jack which I should be able to fit. If not I will let you know. Thanks for the offer. Hope the weather holds out. Looking forward to feeling the difference between these tires and my street tires. Off to load car and find the proper attire for the weather.

zoltan,
I bought them slightly used for $200 from a 911 owner that put bigger brakes on his car. the car steers like a truck, but looks real cool.
I bought a pair of snowboarding pants a few years ago to ski in. then jill got prego. now is my chance to try the water resistency of them. i am packing for a week to cover all weather extremes. it is gonna be like standing in 30deg weather all day once the wind and rain chill is factored in. hats, gloves, thermals, long johns. ski socks or wollies gotta dig stuff out of the basement. thats my suggestion guys.

You have sufficiently frightened me. I am remembering the autocross school and the autocross the day after how soaked I was from all the rain. I just got back from buying a pair of Merrill Waterproof Hiking boots. Now i am torn about the weather. If it rains I can't use my tires but I can use my new boots. Hmmm. What do I want? Good rubber on my car or good rubber on my feet. A tough one!
I got the jack in my car. Thanks.
