I have just over 500 miles on the car and tires. I am not really looking to get rid of them cause the snow will be gone in a matter of days. They are the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's. Just curious as to what would you offer me for them?

--Edit--

Nevermind... I thought you were asking about the tires, not the car LOL

Hey OP, up until today, MN almost bypassed winter because of the lack of snow. I drove my F around the Twin Cities a couple of days ago and I played golf last week. I think you will regret your move the WA..LOL!!

Ha ha! I am from MN too! I am here in WA because of the military. Where in MN are you from? I have family still there up north and they are saying it is going to be cold tonight...in the -40's or something! I don't miss that for sure! Snow like this out here is not common at all.

I last lived in Burnsville before I let the army take control of my living arrangements.

^ Yeah, I remembered reading a post of yours that you are from MN. Well, winter has returned with a vengeance here! No more driving the F, so, am in the same predicament as you. Your grill solution is hilarious!!

Am currently in Rosemount experiencing -22 wind chills..drats!!

Nice picture of your F with the snow outside. Sucks you can't drive it til it gets warmer. You can turn your car on and rev it just to hear the beast.

Snow will be melting by Friday. We are supposed to be in the 40's by then with rain all weekend. That will take care of the snow. I will be back in the saddle in a few days.
