I take note of the silence and determine the lack of a definitive no is we are on the same page. Glad we talked it out
LOL recap ^

And update (before Xmas)

Me: We doing gifts this year?
Wife: Silent
Me: Um?

Wife wants a new vehicle and things fixed around the house that I have been putting off for a couple of years. You just knew the other shoe was going to drop

Well, sadly, I had to leave the 8 on the side of 405 last night as my "All Season Tires" clearly can't handle 1/4 of the seasons...Tried everything I knew, as well as tricks from other people, and the moral of the story is that my dad had to tow my car off of the on-ramp I was stranded on, and put me on the side of 405. Thankfully, no one has hit my baby, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Yup, I'm pretty sure there was no grip from the get go....As soon as there was actual snow, they just went kaput! I should get mudders for the RX8.
