I did run Potenza S-O3's for a while, but for the last few years I've been running Yokohama AD-O7's (awesome grip!)

Geez, sorry to hear about those struts. I've seen some pretty damn deep potholes that make me wonder what this city does, or should I say doesn't, fix.

Worse now that they don't plow as much as I remember. I think it was last year when it snowed pretty good, and hardly any plowing was done.

Just anticipating all the construction this summer, and I'm prepared to face some nails in my tires...
Struts in the DD have gotten cheap, plus I get a discount cause they are still in the warranty range most of the time Just a pain in the ass to change every year.

Plowing has been sketchy at best (especially in Littleton). This is bad because all the snow becomes packed and eventually turns to ice.

The roads in the winter and early spring with all the pot holes is the reason why I have a DD cheaper to fix it that to fix a mistake on the S

I used to live in tampa for years, Some things about Denver.

s2000, Don't try and make it an all year car, by a cheap older truck to drive during the winter. Between rock chips, close calls, drastic fluxuation in temps, dry, it can play hell on outdoor vehicles, some don't notice, I do after living down south.

Your single, and so you may club in south florida, it is not nearly the same here, and you will find your-self very bored at first, chicks have the typical mid-west bs attitude, much different than Florida, you may have to actually put a bit of effort into it. Pubs and small off the way places are a welcome change to miami, orlando, Ebor City. think microbrew centered, not a vodka.

Outdoors stuff is way above and beyond anything you could hope for in Florida, with exception to the beach, but seriously, how many days do you hang out at the beach. Get involved in something outdoors.

Expensive, besides Car and home insurence, just about everything else is more expensive here than in florida. You will probably be surprised at the price of homes vs build and material quality. Its just how it is up here, I guess tile and stucco, hardwood flores are considered a luxury here in colorado.

Four seasons are a welcome change from , decent-->hot-->rainy and hot-->humid and hot.

Everything aside, denver was a welcome change for me.

Yeah Denver is an expensive place, at least for me it is.

I was born in Orlando, FL...however I could see myself living there. I really dislike snow, cold, and winter. I love the humidity, and I can breathe alot easier.

I had fun driving the S last night with all that snow coming down and the roads weren't too good. I love seeing a big plow truck not having their plow down...
