And let the fun begin.

Installed my snow tires today. I got bored. What can I say.

After all the crappy weather we've been seeing, maybe I'll bring some sunny days.

Ah, dear god man, don't say that!
Last week (or was it the week before? I forgot) I wound up getting a flat from a big ****ing chunk of steel stuck in my tire. So I decided it would be a good opportunity to get some snowshoes put on her. So the next day, i'm all set and thinking "Bring it on Mother Nature!" A day or two later? We get like TWO FEET of snow. Heavy wet sloppy **** too. Killin trees like nobodys business (one of the trees in our back yard lost a good 18 foot branch from the snow). Good chance to test out the new rubber, sure, but its been ****ing cold and crappy ever since I figured I was prepared for that b*tch nature's wrath.
The good news, at least, is that its starting to warm up and melt. Oh, and the snowshoes work pretty good too, though their dry traction leaves something to be desired, even compared to the hockey pucks I had on their before. Sure feels good to have perfect alignment again though!

Anywho... moral of the story... careful what you wish for.

I was counting the day's untill I saw this thread.
Now I'm scared! I better put her away next weekend.

Admins! Delete this thread immediately before someone with some connections with the man upstairs sees this. Jeremy you know better than that

Our snow has completly melted already.

Hey..the fellow above complaining of too much snow... yeah, he's from ALBERTA.

Its highly unlikely that we'd see 2 feet of snow ALL WINTER.

Nothing to worry about here...
It only works one way:
You can't make it snow by putting snow tires on.
You sure as hell can make it snow by putting summer tires on

Those of you who have been here for a while: have you not yet learned that I control the weather?

I will let you know when it is time to put your summer tires away.

Dan I was thinking 3 weekend in December.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration (my bike thanks you too )

Yeah, good thing too. Everyone knows you shmucks in Ontario can't even drive in summer weather, never mind a real Canadian winter!

Damn it.....couldn't even see across the taxi way a few times today. Squalls all day, I must live in London.

I like the snow, i just hate the cold.

I say bring it on, snow tires, awd. Its my first time with awd. Im actually looking forward for the first snowfall. I got to do one awd doughnut thats all I want. then the winter can **** off and I can put my fwd back on the road.

Well Jay, it did snow in Belleville here today for about 5 minutes. haha

What were you only outside for 5 minutes?? it was snowing for more like 10, 15 minutes tops. thats ok insurance isnt in effect right now.

Actually, I was in work, and we all just kinda looked out the window. I suppose it could have been that long. Only seemed like 5 minutes though!

Watch those first AWD winters, I heard it can be tricky.....at least Arnett told me it takes some learning.

Had a guy here at work put his A4 into a curb last winter not drifting properly

I had it down in my fwd, but this is a whole new car. When I do ill be in a parking lot not a street I dont want to wreck this one.

Center diff in our cars don't react instantly. one second you have power on understeer and the next your tail spins out cause the center diff finally sent power to the rear.

proceed with caution gentlemen.
