Not as exciting as some of the others... but enjoy.

Snowy Darke Co. Roads early in the 'snow storm' of 4.5in.


Look closely for the 3D effect of the checkered roof from the early snow.

Plowing the alley MINI style...

Notice the ice cooled prototype intercooler.

No kidding!
I'm starting to rethink getting snow tires. I based my decision off of last winter which wasn't too bad. Maybe I should go ahead and get a set so that the snow will go away!

If that fella in the video had snow tires he's have gotten out of the lot he was trapped in. He was so disoriented he even tried to reverse a donut. Just remember when all else fails grab the handbrake.

A set of snows costs about what most folks deductible is & they make your summer tires last longer. Snow tires FTW...

Looks like Discount Tire has 100 off snows. Might have to go shopping.

Speaking of snow...anyone here have an extra set of OEM wheels they want to get rid of? The wife's Clubman S Continental all-season tires are not cutting it in this weather. Ideally I'd like to get an extra set of 16" wheels & winter tires.

Check eBay or the classified section of this website. A few years back I got a set of X-lites with performance run-flats with less than 200 miles on them for $400. Plenty of people pull off the stocks when they get custom wheels and rubber and sell the stocks for a song.

I've been watching. Finding very little. The only set I've seen that I'd want to buy they were asking $600 for 17" OEMs. Way more than I'd want to spend.

Tire Rack has some wheels on clearance, you might check there. I believe that you will need 16" or 17" rims to clear the front brakes.

Actually you should have 4. That one in Coshocton is good, but looks ugly.
