Thanks! I've got an order into the fat man in red, in the meantime it's nothing some quick detailer, a microfibre and a cold one won't fix

I drove it last winter but always felt guilty taking it out so decided to put it away til spring. Snow meet sounds fun tho, I need a 4s!!

Ok so I had to go physically out to the garage and take another pic to replace the original showing the foam pads resting up against the door.. I couldn't even look at that anymore without feeling uneasy lol..

Needs caution tape...maybe a guard too. You DO have a video monitoring system so you can check on the car while at work right?

You guys are missing some good driving. Looks like it will be sunny with temps approaching double digits for at least the next week. Even with sub-zero temps in the morning, grip has not been a problem with my cup tires. I'll probably keep driving until they put salt or brine on the roads, then it's hibernation time.

I have not seen any in London, but my car is under wraps so I am not looking

couple of guys in this post have seen it tho

Your car is newer, so it is not the end of the world.. I have a 92, with summer only tires and too much torque, so first hint of snow and it is done for the year ... ok,

the real story is first hint of snow my wife want her side of the garage back (she has the other side too, but don't go there). Next spring I get the Lift so I can keep all the cars home

Look for the streaks on the pacement. When all driednup, they look like white pinstripes on the ashpalt. The 401 near Mississauga has them now.

I drove mine yesterday. Trying to put as many miles as I can before the snow. The cold air is a nice hp boost. Now need to get the 928 running and go for a blast. The cold air is like a really good intercooler.
