yeah im hiding my golf clubs in the back of the storage locker hoping that no one will see them
but i do have a Focal box showing...
looks like getting aftermarket rims is the way to go for summer tires...

i wish i had a garage.
last night my car froze solid. i was trying to get my door open this morning and i broke the door handle and now it's stuck in the unlatched position... the only thing keeping it from opening up while i'm driving right now is duct tape

i bought them at tirecraft on hastings st. in n. bby. i recall they were on sale at the time, so they ended up being cheaper than what http://www.tiretrends.com was selling them for.

oh yeah Danny, I remember you telling me you got snows on now, glad they are working out so much better than the summers for you hahah
Which ones did you get?
So do you guys have all-seasons/summer on aftermarket rims and snows on stock rims or what?
i dont know where i can keep my tires if i get rims and tires for snow as i live in an apartment and storage is minimal...

Pirelli Winter Snowsports and I have them on my stock rims.
Hey David, if you need a place to store your tires let me know. I might be able to help u out.

ah Danny, thats very thoughtful of you but I think I will still need to figure out which way to go for for snow at the end of this year.
I doubt there will be much more snow this winter... *knock on wood*

where do you guys go to wash your car in this weather? i don't want to do it at home because everything will freeze up... i can't do the automated carwashes because my car is too low to ride the tow rail
