Did a little off roading in the Coupe

Last evening I hit a pile of slush on a state Hwy, threw me sideways ended up off the road into a farmers field but was able to get it back on the road. Thankfully nothing damaged other than my shorts.

I purchased an extra set of rims for that purpose. This little episode gave me a little more urgency to do so.

LOL, I know. At this point I figure next fall my tires will need replaced. Then I can get both and use the good rims for my summers and the not so good rims as the winter.
