If you are... be careful out there. Rain tonight and tomorrow, possibly turning into snow.

I try to avoid driving the S in bad weather, but sometimes it happens. The first winter I had mine, I got caught in an unexpected but light snowfall with the OEM tires--no traction at all. I was very lucky to make it home w/o an accident. After some research I contacted Tire Rack for a recommendation and wound up w/a set of Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22s.
The difference was amazing. Although I would still prefer not to drive in the snow, I feel that I can now do so safely.

Nice

The funnest part about that would be the looks on people's faces, like "What the hell is he thinking? And why is he smiling?"
