Wow...that looks great! Can't wait to see it in person next time the group gets together.

Just wondering if you have driven a normal 8...I only ask as you mentioned the under 2K RPM comment and I had to laugh a little. These engines don't make any power below 6K and even then its like...."Common! I know you want to"

Anyway thanks for the pics.

In a word, terrible. I had bald summer tires last year tho, so it was obviously bad, I got stuck in my own driveway a lot. I at least have new tires now, but I still didn't get snow tires (bought a laptop instead). I've read a lot on the forum that snow tires make a world of difference, and it is best to just have 2 sets of tires rather than trying to get by on all-seasons.

Yea that is pretty much normal, I would just imagine you get a little more power

A get together sounds great!

All seasons are a trade off - they don't do anything well. You really need dedicated summer & winter tires. Just got some new Goodyear winter tires for this season. They're more perfomance oriented, so they do better in the dry than the Blizzaks did, but they're no match for the Blizzaks in the snow.

Any home brewers out there? Just got my first batch out the end of the tunnel. not bad if I say so myself.

Just in time for holiday enjoyment...Elf **** Ale! This spiced ale will make eggnog a thing of the past. Brewed with holiday spices such as nutmeg & cinnamon, this is meant to be enjoyed all through the winter months. A fine selection from the Renz Nest Brewery. Merry Christmas to all!

Well, my son & I with help from others drank it all up over the holidays! Not to worry though, there aretwo more in the pipeline. A lemon/orange corriander wheat beer and a Rye PA. We'll see how they come out.

woah, i totally missed your post on that earlier jeff. ive dabbled in home brewing, made maybe 5 batches? i enjoy it, but dont have the time to continue right now. school started today so for the next 13 months my life is a living hell!

the elf **** looks great, but definitely more of a porter than an ale

Brian,

It is dark, but doesn't drink that dark. I moved the wheat to the secondary the other day. Smells great! Too bad it's still 6 weeks out

Good luck in school - I'm glad those days are over for me!

id like to get an sti wagon. i love the 8, but being back in school and eventually working in a hospital im going to need something that can get around in all snow, not just most of it. plus, id like to have the extra storage space and the significant hp increase is an added bonus

part of me is thinking of just getting a wrx wagon and keeping the 8. with the money id save i could put some real nice upgrades into her like a 20b maybe?
