Here's a classic thread on "had to take my kids to daycare in my e63 [with summer tires] on a snowy winter day"

Fortunately nothing was hurt beyond ego. Sometimes, I have found, when you can't get around inconveniences and discomforts of having to do stuff to prevent bad stuff - you can hope to rely on luck.

Its not our fault you had to ask strangers about your own life choices. Every logical person here recommended the same thing, which you refuse. Thats referred to as having your head in the sand, ***, clouds, wherever you choose. Ive driven high performance all seasons for the past twenty years because I understand what I want and the conditions and environments I will drive in. If you dont know where you are or where your going, good luck getting there on those summer tires.

On another note, Im off to Utah in my rwd turbo wagon and headed for the Chute. Im thinking of selling my car if it doesn't make it up, and I definitely do not want to drive my LX. I was sold on the wagon being everything to everyone. Should I sue?

Did you even read my posts. I never purchased or owned an E63S while living in Minnesota. Sorry, I forgot where your head was.

For the rest of you, I do not try, and never have tried, to drive this car in Minnesota. Please read my posts before responding how foolish it would be to do something I have no intention of doing.

This thread has gone on long enough—probably too long. I’ve received helpful responses to my actual question, for which I’m thankful. As to the rest of you, I apologize if my posts were at all cryptic and led to irrelevant responses.
