Yeah, I resisted getting into the C63 also, and I hadn't actually driven it in earnest for just about a week, I think...but then the temptation was too strong, and I just had to drive it!! So on went the snow tires, and I'm now back in my comfort zone.

It is if Mrs. SebringSilver crashes your Audi S4 into another car at the kids' elementary school parking lot!

Yeah, the bumper is still sitting in customs at the border, apparently. But they've promised me I'll get the car back by the 23rd. Oh well, not much I can do about that, I guess.

I hope this crummy weather improves sometime soon. We need to have another meet soon.

Y'know...now that I've got the snow tires on my OEM 18" wheels, that will now be my default winter set-up. As a result, I'm going to be looking for a 19" tire/wheel dedicated summer set-up. Suggestions, anyone?

I know Ccylin is going to say it's the 19" OEMs or nothing...but what about the rest of you non-PhD types?

I went to the dealership today and got the prices for the 19" wheels. It just takes two days to get them, apparently, as they have them in stock somewhere in Toronto.

Ok so i'll be at the North East corner today!!! Just came home from testing a GL in the snow. I have to say it is for better than my old 92X Aero. And that car had really noce tires on it. If anyone want me to pick up let me know asap.

Thanks and hope the snow wont stop you!
