Default Be carefule going into work this morning!

I made it in, I credit 8 years of Kansas City winter driving and recent Sumitomo HTR Z3's for getting in. I went from Rowlett to Terrell.
80 was fine until Forney and there were all kinds of trucks and cars off the side of the road, driving too fast.
If I can make it to work in my S2000 on summer performance tires than your truck with mudders should as well unless you are driving like its a normal day.

I had fun driving in. Unfortunately, I had brand new HTRZ3's on the front, but almost worn out KDW2's on the rear (285/30-18). I almost lost it twice, and wound up in a different lane both times. There was an SUV next to me one of those times, but they were able to slow down before I went across their lane. Thankfully, I keep an extra pair of underpants in my emergency road kit.

BTW, I have found that VSA is MUCH more enjoyable after disabling the throttle cut using a FlashPro!

I'm just glad my commute is 25' down the hallway. Except for the fact that I have no excuse not to work.

It wasn't bad in Downtown Dallas at all. More wet than anything.
