I went out and got a snowblower , today . So I,m ready , maybe because of that i't wont snow and I won't have to use it. In all honesty it could just sit there.

Well... we were in and out of there before the snow came... hit up the usual eats that have been taken for granted: Brown's chicken, Pita Inn, Steak n Shake, White Castle, Kampai, 7 Treasures (554), Portillos, Buffalo Joe's... just to name a few

Hey, At the ram meet someone suggested that we have a cookout meet in winter, That would be awesome. Unfortuneately i cannot host one because my parents are **** about "parties." Would anyone be interested in hosting a little get together for winter? I'm going out to practice RWD winter driving so I'm looking forwards to getting a meet together when i get home.

edit: running Blizzak WS-60s atm.

Ive got Perrelli Winter Sport I believe... they seem to work well, but I really don't have a basis for comparison... I got them mainly b/c they were cheap

A week ago, I installed 225/45ZR-18 Continental ContiExtremeContact ($133 from the TireRack). Previously I was using Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. Both are all-season tires. The Conti's are better in the snow as they were tested this morning. They will probably be better in the wet also. I think the Pirelli's would be the winner in the dry. I don't have enough miles on the Conti's to tell on the dry yet. But, so far I like them.

With the exception of being late to work this morning due to people not knowing how to drive, I love snow! Sure it gets obnoxious at times, but what doesn't?

For those who hate the snow, I have an idea for you...

GTFO of this area.

Moving on, I'm running Blizzak LM-25 tires on my stock rims. I highly recommend them. This will be my third winter on them and after this morning's test they seem to still be running strong. They stick when you need them and break free when you want them to.

A winter cookout sounds great! Unfortunately I cannot host such an event either. I would be happy to join one though!
