It's hard to find studded Dunlop Star Specs.

Those dates work great for us. Is it time to go yet?

C30's and SmartCars and Crossfires, oh my!

Talked with a friend who told me that the older couples like Ken love to check out the fall colors and go very slow like Sunday drivers and that the roads are full of them. He also said that Little Switzerland is just as bad during the October so I just wanted everyone to know about this.

All you need is an old set of tires and 5 pounds of roofing nails and a calk gun with epoxy to seal all the nail holes, then you will be good to go. Alabama snow tires

Just like last year. I never did see any of the C30's. I think there are only about 5 of those in the whole world and the people who own them drive like they're driving Corvettes. They drive someplace warm, park, bring out the lawn-chairs and sit and talk about how fast they drive..
