I hate you winter.

Yea, that's what I get to look forward to for the next few months.

As a bonus pic, here's what happens when the human impact wrench takes on lugs which have been torqued to 200+ ft/lbs.

Jack Frost said he hated you too.

Crapsman autotools.

And hey new rubber is new rubber, besides you do not want ES100's in the winter. I got caught in a blizzard with them once, was not a fun experience.

We're supposed to get our first snow tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to seeing what the big hype about "Quattro" is. Or rather, finding out that it's not necessary.

Blizzacks WS-50s huh? Go Steelies, suggestion is get some teflon covered impacts just for your wheels. $15.00 for three metrics from Harbor freight.

Graspic's actually.

A cheapie HF cordless impact wrench & the 20 dollar impact sockets are on my list until I pick up some air tools.

The hype is when it's actually is acumulated and wet and slippery. Other than that well it's a under powered understeering slug.

That's what I have but they are older models.

I didn't have time so the RZ's get driven thru one snow storm on ES100's how scarey huh? The car will be parked on base with my 8 mile commute till I get back on Sunday.

I have been in wintermode since a bit before Nov 1st.

Sucks. Steelies, no air dam bah humbug.

Yeah that's what I've noticed so far.

Anyone have experience with Michelin Artic-Alpin's? Tirerack reviews seemed positive, as long as bare ice isn't involved. They were barely used and only $200, off of one of the Jetta's my sister wrecked this spring.

I'm going to be daring and run the freshly painted airdam all winter. F-it... worse case, its an excuse to go euro bumpers come spring.. 8)

Im getting ready to winterize the winter. Hopefully I can take it to the strip and dyno beforehand. Thankfully in Kansas we only get a few days of snow, just brutal cold.

Hey, it could be worse, you could be driving a cabrio, like me.
