Global warming?
as you all can see, we've been having some gorgeous weather here in Seattle lately so i wanted to share some pics of my car ready to cruise!
on a serious note, i've been running Goodyear F1 AS since August and have been pleased - sticky on dry with aggressive shoulder blocks, channels the water effectively in the wet, and has no trouble in light snow.
i can recommend these tires for drivers (like me) who don't want to change their tires once the temperature drops and the snow hits and want AS performance.
they have a decent treadwear rating and are not too expensive (i paid around $800 for 245/275s).

Man, that's some pretty snow. I read a thread a while back about water and door control modules and how the two don't mix to the tune of about $700 a door for the fronts. I think this was water that ran down the inside of the door from a window left open, but I might suggest you scrape that stuff off the windows before it starts to melt 
. W220s and water are a bad combination.

I think we have moved on to global cooling, Al Gore has been on vacation for some 3 months now. He probably won't come up for air until his bank account suffers and I'm sure all the snow is because the planet is too warm. The world as seen by the new socialists.
