I'm up in Jersey right now and I woke up to see big wet snowflakes falling this morning. Even though I just got my snow tires, I'm waiting for temps to go lower and snow to fall and accumulate before I make the change to my snow tire and wheel combo.

you might want do go ahead and put the snow tires on then...it's just gonna get colder and you're going to have to be changing wheels when it's even colder.

Hey Rock. How do you like the M3s? I just bought a set of Winter Sport 3Ds (the newer version of the M3) and had them mounted on my 16s this weekend. I'll probably put them on the car this coming weekend.

Brrrrr.... winter time here in Cali cools down, too.

In fact, this was taken from the boat on my Saturday sail last weekend!


But seriously... looks good.
What's in the garage? Old Caddy? Looks sweet!

Thanks guys for all the nice compliments, to answer a few things...

LICelsior - Yeah man, tell me about it! I HATE washing cars in the cold. I have a friend of mine that asks me to wash (quick detail) his CLS55 EVERY damn weekend!!! Even throughout the winter! I have been detailing his "fleet" of cars this way for the last 7 years as extra side work $$$. He pays well that's why I do it...lol.

NY Toy - I have the Bilstein PSS setup and have it approx. 90% down. It's a great setup and very quiet...IMHO

e-man - These tires are nice and quiet...grip the ice/snow well and provide great comfort...you will like them!

SoCalSC4 - Sure, rub it in...LOL! BTW, the old classic is my dad's...1950 Dodge _____??? Coupe...it's pretty nice (and clean) but NOT fast at all...all original.
