Definitely drove in the worst of the weather this morning. And all I have to say is that winter tires are AMAZING.

I don't know how I've lived so long without experiencing them. Driving on ice, snow, and slush was a completely different experience. I will never go another winter without them. Sure, the dry traction may be lacking, but I couldn't believe how well my car handled in the slippery conditions. I even purposely tried to lose traction around a few corners, and it was completely undramatic. I'm incredibly impressed by these Blizzak WS70's.

Here's a picture of the front end after the commute. Can you guess which honeycombs are functional?

Snow tires rule. Good to know the Mustang does OK with snow tires equipped.

Winter tires are an essential for sure. I won't budge if there's snow without snow tires on.



From the last snow fall on Monday. Slowly getting the 99 GT on the road. Gotta $600 bill coming next Tuesday. Not looking forward to that ****. Hell of a lot better than the first quote I got of $2500. To sum it up, spot welds on exhaust, coil pack, O2 sensors (3), two inner tie rods, trans leak (rear seal). There goes my refund...

I ordered a car cover for the Mustang finally. But it won't arrive until tomorrow, provided there aren't any delays. I'm sure the 'Stang will be buried by the time it arrives.

Yeah, you and I are dead center of the "over 2 ft" zone. I'm going to tuck the Mustang as far into the corner of my driveway as possible so shoveling is easier. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of it over the next day or so.
