I'll snap his neck.
Actually, it now looks like I might be at the next meet. I was going to be out of town with Jen for her aunt's wedding, but our oldest dog is going to have to have surgery on her leg next week, so I will be staying around to keep an eye on her.

Thanks
Thanks for the help folks. I did pick up the winter tires on Craiglist. Since I have a brilliant black 8 and the rims are black, I'm thinking about wearing a Batman 
costume when I'm driving. I know it's gonna look like the Batmobile. Now these are my first winter tires, is it true that you should wait till the temp reaches the low 30's to put them on? Do warmer temps tear up the tread?
Thanks again folks.

I remember my first time driving in the rain with summer tires when the temps fell into the 40s. I would spin the tires at every light unless I did a second gear start. Even with gentle throttle, and that was before the lower rear gear. I didn't really have trouble stopping or turning, but starting was a problem in first gear.

I spun my old car on Blizzaks a couple of Springs ago. I have new Dunlop snow tires in the garage waiting to be mounted. I'm expecting better rain traction.

For all of those who wonder what's going on with me...
I finally was able to get the car in the shop today, after it had been sitting for 4 months with a blown clutch. The dealer is doing more than just the clutch. Since the car has been sitting for so long, it flooded out, battery has completely died, and for some reason they say they can't get the alarm to shut off. Well anyways I should have my car back tomorrow. So hopefully I will be seeing you all real soon for the next meet.

Mac and I should be there as well. He's coming over here early to help me try to get a dent out of my car
One of those stupid boneheaded dents that I believe happen to remind you to be humble.

Aw. Mine's full of dents if you ever feel like getting some of mine out. =) That's what happens when you live in an apartment complex and don't get a garage.
