Default weather fail

Parked my car this morning, took the insurance off, and got out the Volvo winter beater. Bleah.

But, I did also find that with my heavy leather jacket, it's a bit uncomfortable in the Cobra race seat in the S2000, so no more of that!

I'm just waiting on a new windshield gasket and for my new all season tires to be mounted (friend is doing it), then I'll have my Saab back on the road. Should be good, haven't driven it for quite a while now. I've painted it flat black, and it looks quite good. I'll post pix later.

Put the snow tires on mine this past weekend
I really hate how the car drives on snows, but at least I didn't get stuck on the way to work.

The tires "squirm" when you turn a corner -- I like my stook when it's planted and does what I tell it to do. Also, it spins the tires in 2nd gear, and I don;t even have any boost
