Interesting, not a huge fan of the blitz lip but definitely something different and rare in van..

That's correct as far as I know for richmond though. Government doesn't want you to damage their roads and create more potholes


So has everyone stored their summer wheels yet? or still enjoying them with the massive rain lately ?

ohhhh so, that means as long as there's no snow covering the road, one cannot drive with studs even during snow season? What if the main roads are shovelled but the small streets aren't? Does that mean one can only drive in small streets? LOL.

Don't you be bashing the tires that came to you on that car, those Pole Positions are nothing to sneeze at.

not bashing the tires at all... just that when i wake up in the morning to drive to work, it's colder than these tires are designed for... i'd perfer winter tires if it's going to be 7 degrees and colder... and summers when it's 7 and warmer... infact, it's starting to become frosty in my alley already!

the RE960s definately aren't bad tires at all... they're my favourite tires direct competitor... nothing to laugh at there...

Ah yes, they are definitely not cold oriented. Wet = AMAZING, cold = not really amazing at all.

Alternatively, you could do some quick slaloming to warm them up and then you're all good ... (doesn't really help if the ground is cold though)

you can go drift your M in the parking lot of metro? or if you're really gutsy, do it in the cramped parking lot of crystal mall.

offtopic, but has anyone ever taken crim 355 at sfu as an elective?

I think among the first few things I do with the M, drifting isn't one of them.

I took ECON 355 as an elective at SFU ... not really the same I know ...

spotted SG going eastbound on Broadway around 5.40

spotted a dark colored 2IS with PIAA rims going westbound on the same road. I want to say burnabykid, but I'm not sure. I was right next to you in the SUV, I wanted to roll down my windows and shout...but that would look crazy since I was not driving the Lexus.
