lol buncha people popped outta nowhere.
as for the profile. 50 vs 65 on a 215 would be a difference of 107.5mm sidewall vs 139.75, 30mm, 3 cm, i dunno, little over an inch? so i suppose if you're not insanely dropped it shouldn't be a big deal, and would be pretty good for digging your ass through deep snow.
basically what we're saying is kyle, drop it like it's hot
and for the roof spoiler, it didnt turn out like a sarona as in it doesnt look as beefy or it just looks like ass?

I was cleaning my garage and have a M3 lip i made in to a rear window spoiler. I tried to make it look like a Sarona but it did not turn out that way. Anyway if anybody wants it let me know. I live in Buffalo and been a member here for a while. By the way it's painted SSM. Let me know. Thanks, Kent

if you need some photos and stuff of the newer cars. just hit up the stealerships for a test drive park somewhere and say u want some photos. they'll agree cause then they got high quality photos to market their ugly ass cars on their websites.
otherwise if you want REAL people with REAL cars that doesnt look like a pile of REAL shit, we'll all clean our cars out in the spring

Strickly looking for 09 TL/TSX's? I can pilot an s2000 around if you'd like. It photographs pretty well because it has a pretty deep flake finish... but if you dont have a polarizer your may see some swirls n stuff.
Unfortunately the only decent looking rims I had got stolen recently and my current ones are semi beat. Rolling shots would probably be the only way to disguise that.

How's the life down in Aussie-land? Pick yourself up a Holden yet? Eat a Kangaroo burger? Do the toilets really flush in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?

Anything thats a dedicated snow is more than sufficient. I've used blizzaks, Dunlop graspics, and winterforce tires, all of which worked very well.
Jump on craigslist and look for some good condition used, compare what they want to sell them for to the list price on tirerack and just pick one.
The jump from summer to all season is pretty big, and the jump from all season to winter tires is huge with regards to snow handling.
Just for a ballpark figure for you. I got 2 blizzaks for my rear tires with like 80% tread for $50, and we got 4 winterforce tires with about 70% tread for the civic for $75... then you just have to pay for mounting and balancing.

I looked like some asshole drifting in the neighborhood. There was a guy in a Hyundai SUV about a block behind me who saw me and then started doing that too but he spun into the neighbor's yard in my rearview.
But I just changed out all my tires to all season...I took a better look and my old tires were all summer tires, but two different pairs and kinda worn out too...Feels waay better now.....I couldn't shop around though, I had to get them changed out fast because it's snowing today.

Q-How's the life down in Aussie-land?
A-Humid as hell, but i'm loving every minute of it.
The views are incredible, people are pretty friendly...the only thing that is geting on my nerves is everyone freezes when i speak.
Q-Pick yourself up a Holden yet?
A-I thought about about but having that much power on the roads here is just asking for trouble. lol
Q-Eat a Kangaroo burger?
A-Hell no!
Q-Do the toilets really flush in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?
A-Ehh, the ones in this house dont really spin in the other direction....its more like the water is being sucked out like a vacuum.
Sorry for the delay in responding, my wife has sorta banned from most screens lol

That's dirty john LOL...I think someone said he used to be on here. He has another car now.
He was boosted and juicin'! His other vids he was running with a vette, cobra, etc etc. Looked like he had alot of fun with that car haha.
Yeah, beginning last night when it hit below zero temps, my car dies when I start it cold. I have to sit there and give it gas for like 5 minutes until it warms up.
