sorry, will never go to a motor show ever again. i found it to be a huge waste of time. the level of bogans there is amazing, all cooing over the latest and greatest from holden and ford...oooppps, here i go again, thinking im better than someone else, but u know what, thats my opinion, and i guess im entitled to have it.
sure replicah asked for opinions and deals, its just that some of us gave our opinions on why one shouldnt scrimp. i had my way, aus had his way, others have their way. in fact, this is kinda going round in circles, the whole community thing, blah blah.
as far why i or others feel the need tocontribute needless of nonconstructive feedback, who knows, i guess it falls into the "ill have a say" mindset. some people like to rubberneck, get into others business. i know a lot of people lurk here, and dont say a thing. i choose to have a say, whether people like it or not. hell, ive been here 5 years, some times i say a lot, some times i say nothing at all, it just depends on what topics i feel compelled to get involved with. if people want an opinion on something i feel strongly about, then ill let them have mine.
as far as getting laid, the boardroom my friend, the boardroom.

Bogan : person who takes little pride in his appearance, spends his days slacking and drinking beer. For more details of word origin - see here

Someone may have said this in the 6 or so pages (I was skimming and may have missed it) but it's a _well_ documented trait of the factory S02 that when you cross the grip threshold, grip drops away _very_ suddenly.
Many others tires you can fit to the factory rims will give much more warning when approaching the grip threshold and after you cross it, the grip levels will not drop quite as suddenly.
It's also fairly well agreed on this board by members from around the globe that the S02 trades some wet weather performance for increased dry weather performance. More people get into trouble in the wet and more accidents happen in adverse conditions.
So buy the tires you want and pay the price you want, but seriously Aus, don't try to play the safety card because S02's are _not_ the tire you fit for safety.

Now, if we've got all the Bogans & Boardrooms out of the way -- can we talk about Joe's very good point here. (If that's not asking too much on a Friday?)
