We only got around 2-3" and it warmed up, so it's a slushy mess. The Benz did just fine this morning, can't wait until we get some real snow to see how the snow tires do.

NOFAR posted in the main forum; I think his post counts for +1 for S2ki -- successful parkinglot snow time fun should at least count for a point. Paul's "complete domination" also counts for a point.

Winter: 2
S2ki: 3

If I'm not mistaken.

Thanks Kamron,
I've had the winter tires on for about 3-4 weeks, waiting for snow to come. I'm kicking snow's arse ever day, all winter long. Last night was our first Michigan snow fall and it was fun, but definitely need to be carefull out there.

Still want a hard top though...

This is my first extensive slick-condition test with the softest setting on my new sway-bar... I intend to try it on stiffer settings soon...

FYI it's a higher resolution on YouTube's page.

I feel dirty after watching that, reminds me of a bad $$$$$$ or something, slow motion close up shots that are un-necessary of things I don't want to see.

Urg my eyes are burning!
