My arms felt like rubber after clearing that
My arms are like rubber just from scraping windows, pounding on doors & trunks, and pushing cars out for 2.5 hours tonight on the roof of The Parking Spot. Yeah, stupid to park on the roof. Finally had to leave as the scrapers were all broke and I couldn't feel my toes anymore. Then I get home and I walk on top of the snow up to the house .... anyone got a pick axe?

The neighbor has been trying to get his camero out of the driveway (downhill!) for 15 minutes today. Now he's shoveling the street in front of his house. Worse yet, a city plow drove right passed him with the plow UP while spreading salt on the road. Looks like I'll be driving the truck for a few more days...

Okay. It snowed on Thursday/Friday. Today is Sunday. Everyone in the court has wrestled their cars out of the court all weekend. The neighbor had trouble pulling his Camero out of the drive today. He finally parked it on a small clearing at the bottom of the court. After he shoveled the STREET-- for over THREE hours! -- an O'Fallon plow finally came then shoved a mountain of snow in front of the neighbor's Camero. Man, I was pissed off for him. He had some words with the plow guy, then finally cleared it and pulled it back into his drive.

Drama in the neighborhood...

Make sure you git tread on your tires homie. Otherwise you will be praying for traffic and no hills on the way home

My fuzions are working out well, a litle squishy under 80mph lane changes, but none the less I can feel the improved wet traction. Now that my GF has a new car, I feel like a dumbass for not going with the S02's again as I have my Camry to drive when it rains or snows

I missed the Christmas party because I didn't even look at what day it was figuring it would have been closer to Christmas

Glad to see you put some new tread on. You were lookin' at a disaster if you kept those old rears.
the Fuzions are improved compared to the S-02's in wet conditions.... And that you give up some fun on the corners (when it's dry).

If you took my advice and are upset, I'm sorry. But my S is very nearly a daily driver. AND I've wrecked due to bad traction. Unless there's a buzz about another multi-weather performance tire, that is less $$ than the S-02, I'll stick with them.
