kinda funny to scare the shit out of your passengers when you give it like 1/4 throttle and wheels just spin. shitty part is its all roads.

^^^indeed he is right :( and ppl still try to drive around with no-season tires causing accidents, i passed one on deerfoot, 3 cars on the left and 1 on the right, minimal damage but 2 ppl walking around, i screamed at them to get back in their cars b4 they get killed but they wouldn't listen........i almost called 911 because their likely to get hit and killed like that 21 year old guy the other week :( its sad, ppl think they are in an accident so ppl will slow down and stop but I could tell ppl were really tense and I sense another accident was probably inevitable......i hope nobody got killed again, that would be really sad

nate that is exactly how my crack in my windshield is. except i went 2 years before it cracked lol. sadly my insurance still has a windshield deductible so i took of windshield coverage and i'll just pay for it myself when i decide to get it replaced.

turns out i don't need 2.4n/a rims, too close to the caliper, i don't like it, so i found aftermarkets that provide a near stock clearance over the front calipers, even a few in stock at 2 different Canadian companies :) next winter I will be ready!!!! and if i'm lucky maybe i can come into some extra money and get these winter rims and tires now.
