My drag racing days are over. Just a nice highway car. Has a 3.55 rear and still has 2 piece driveshaft. It's nice when you meet some of the newer corvettes on the road. This baby stays right beside them. Besides, I've spent to much time and way to much money in my younger days at Epping. This car I just want to turn the key and drive, and enjoy. I'll get some pics up soon.

Really? main? Come on dude, thats aweful.

I just want snow up north so I can hit the slopes. And having it on the ground is pretty fun, and I plan on doing a bunch of scientific tests with friends.

AWD car with summer tires
RWD M90'ed car with winter tires
FWD Turbo'ed GTI with winter tires.

We'll do a 0-30 test, a 30-0 test, and figure out how to judge handling

But first we need some snow on the ground.

Whats your idea of a winter car? And does your car now have snows, or just the all seasons?

wow, i'm calling myself a tool for that one haha...typin too fast...the type of vehicle will depend on my job sitiuation, but i will have a second car for next winter

and the thought of moving to florida with my dad has crossed my mind...he knows a few people at the high end and exotic dealers and can see what's open or could be open...i'd take it if it was open, would be good for my detailing biz as well since i've already built a relationship and sold them a car...might as well keep it clean for them

that sound slike a fun test...i've still got all-seasons...made it through last year with summers and a little weight in the trunk, so ll seasons and more weight should be fine (unless we get 5 feet of snow lol)...i'm not in a position to drop money for tires at this moment so i'll have to see what happens

Okay. We'll most likely conduct the test on a day you cant make it, but in the off chance you can I'd like to have as many variables there as possible.
