Everybody have a good weekend?
I wish that I would have asked Discount tire to rotate my snows before they mounted them to the wheels. My rears seem to have worn a bit last season. Makes starts a little bit difficult.

Haha! That's amusing. I drove home Saturday night from the store, and about bought the farm coming down 7800 South.
Nate's a cool cat. Just sayin'.

No! Why would I do THAT?
It's an interesting thing though - the physics of it all. It's happened also on the freeway once or twice. Very conservative speed, coming down a slope, foot off the gas, and the rear tires loose traction because it can't find enough grip to continue to turn the motor (back-torque?). Depress the clutch and everything comes back in control. It's always a weird moment. And I always wonder how many snow-accidents could be avoided if people knew pushing the clutch in could create more traction. Ya' follow? Another benefit of a manual transmission I suppose. Wonder how DCT would handle the same situation.

On the way back from downtown on Saturday, watched a guy (almost) lose it right in front of me. He was lucky not to hit anyone. I just slowed down and watched him slide all over the road.

I have driven on summers once in the snow, and never will again. Its just not worth it. The fact that it took me an extra 100 feet to stop is what changed my mind. Quote:
You couldnt count how many BMW Xi cars would crash and they would blame the car. I would look at their tires and say, well you are still on summer tires. Most of the time the response was, well I put sand bags in the trunk! |

Awesome!! When works for you? Saturday's and Sunday's are usually best for me. This Saturday I am off work at 1:30, and free anytime after that, Sunday I'm free all day. Or we can look at another weekend.

Is the delay due to the Doc Strike?
