Damn GP, fantastic photos. Way to intimidate others from posting!

Anyway, here are a couple of my unexpected winter set up...snow came a little early this year. A-specs with Blizzaks should be mounted soon.

Love how the silver looks against snow.
They look too good together

Yes! Most likely after this year it'll hit 200k km

I rarely drive the car. The kms go up because of my 6 hour drive to my parents (500km one way). I make about multiple trips a year to see them.
If I didn't drive my car would probably still be around 170k kms

Yeah, it's getting up there!

Eh I want to do a couple of journey's in my 3G, longest one so far has only been 300km round trip so...

I remember my old car I only put 3500km within a one year span but with the 3G I've put nearly 7000km in 6 months. Odd thing is my commute to university hasn't changed one bit... LOL. I just use the car a whole lot more, but I'm starting to drive it less since winter is coming and the fact I don't want this thing racking up miles

Yeah, I know they're 16's and too small, but my dad got them for me as an early Christmas gift since I'm going to school near Erie now. At least the higher profile tire will do well in the snow. I like the black wheels a lot though since it doesn't make them look as awkwardly small. Calipers are getting painted next spring.

My all-seasons are poopy in this cold weather even when it's just a tad bit damp on the road, thankfully it's supposed to be dry for the next week until I get my winters on

Its funny but I was using my Continental ExtremeContact DW summers, and they were great even at a wet 5 degrees. I was seriously impressed. Much better than these shitty Blizzaks in the same conditions

Week 2 of absolutely non-winter like weather here. Wheels are getting powdercoated so the car is on jackstands which sucks because I could have been enjoying her in summer mode for another 2 weeks from the looks of the forecast lol
