I know there is already one of these threads under the 'appeaances section'

But I thought I'd make one here so all the GTA people know who to look for in the winter. Post your cars in winter trim, or if the case may be, your winter cars

Shots from last March with the Blizzak WS-60's on the car.

nice rim! is that M6 or M3 rims?

Wait for next week for my baller-ass rims :) Sorry they're not actually baller ($ value wise), but nonethless pretty good for winter.

Fear mine...

^ Steelies are pretty mean looking :)

fear yours? there's no picture.

hoser, i like it. looks pretty good, at least for a winter setup.

I get the pleasure of rolling on steelies. haha. and rusty ones at that. but the yokos wrapped around them will hopefully make up for how awfull the rims look. putting them on after work tomorrow, ill snap a picture then.

wargoose, what size/series tire is that? they look huge!

Greg

My winter setup is a 2002 Silver Jetta 1.8T

Darkbrew, I dub thee pimptastic.

Was a great day today! Managed to install the winter tires, put in the winter mats & seat covers (thanks again Warren!) time for some light winter fun!

haha! helps with the butt-chill on my early morning drives...

but u have heated seats...

Greg

true...but i don't turn on the heater/seat warmer until the car warms up to operating temp...so while waiting for it to warm up, the covers help a bit (GF expressed her appreciation for them as well so +1 in my book :lol:)...i think they'll help with keeping the leather clean during the winter as well :)

true...but i don't turn on the heater/seat warmer until the car warms up to operating temp...

Why not? The seats heat up way before than the circulation system... has nothing to do with the engine temp.

mmm...yea i guess your right, i've always been in the habit of just waiting until the engine is warm before i do anything lol, in my previous car, it seemed like even turning on the defroster made something bog down...first time i've ever had a seat warmer before as well, i'll try it out, thanks for the tip eng & greg!

They're just 215/55 x 17" on OEM Mazda rims. The shot blackens out the wheel wells a bit perhaps and makes them look bigger.

sorry about the quality and the light, but heres what i woke up to yestarday morning.

everyone pitch in and get a greg a camera, also pitch in and get footman voicemail

I can give him voicemail whether he wants it or not :D :lol2:

Do it! lol

Does Andrew also need a large data plan? ROFL.

I'm on Fido. you can do that?

I'll tell you why I gave up on voicemail. I USED to have voicemail. I'd get like 2 - 3 voicemails a day. When I log on to the voicemail account (which uses up airtime) and check my voicemail, all I get are "crunch...... click".

so I just wasted my airtime hearing someone else hang up their side and record a 2-3 second long voicemail of nothingness. This happens often to the point where I said fuck it. If you can't find me, that's just too bad. Leave me a text message which is far more useful than your "click".

do I sound bitter or what? haha :)

I have full access to Fido accounts as well yes. Since my job entails dealing with both Rogers and Fido stuff, I have that access. Of course, any changes I make are logged into the system... so no credits for you people!

One of my ex's actually got frustrated like you did. But her voicemail was free, so she recorded a message that said: "Please don't leave a message. I'll see you on call display. Hang up now. *Long pause*"

Even then she'd still get voicemails hahahaha.

wow footman....you weren't kidding about your winter wheels...those look great! mind me asking what brand they are?

yeah, I told you they were gonna be my "baller-ass" winter rims hehehehehehe :) :) :)

Fast Phaze
18 x 7.5
42mm offset

They are about 0.5 to 1 Lb lighter than the stock RX-8 wheel :)

nice, they kinda have a "Gram lights" kinda look to them

I know, they look like Gram Lights... mixed in with some Rota Boost, and mixed in yet again with some TE37...

That's why I picked them.

Advan T5 knock-offs FTMFW!!!
