Milton-ey area. Grabbing this one from Sarnia actually. (Hope it's not snowing on Saturday! Tires looked a little rough for 30000km).
What parts are you stockpiling? I made sure nobody let me spend any money on this car. hah! |

Got black and gold edition valenti tails , HID kit since the FRS doesnt come with HIDS, and a HKS air filter. Hopefully by summer time i'll have an exhaust or maybe wheels first! Just a little spending wont hurt

Do NOT try to drive it in the cold with the stock tires. Doesn't matter if there is no snow just don't do it. They turn into hockey pucks with zero traction.

Thanks, yes, that's what I figured. So a boot down the 401 with no snow (and no snows on), it'll still have very little traction you think? (let's assume 0 degrees). |

Anything approaching freezing and they just turn squirrelly. It can be done. I wouldn't do it, but it can be done.

If you'll be driving in snow or cold temps, get some snow tires. At the end of the day, $400-1000 is cheap insurance to keep from wrecking a $25k car because even the nannies couldn't beat physics. And if you ever do get caught in the snow on snow tires, then the car is just fun.

Hah, no I am very aware of that. I meant for the drive home from the dealership (TCoat knows where I mean. A straight shot of highway for 3 hours). |

Is there AAA in Canada? They could tow it home for you if you have the higher end membership.

Hey guys! Hope everyone's doing awesome!
I'm from Orange County, CA and last weekend I picked up a new 2017 Black Toyota 86! After a few weeks of researching ended up getting a new one although the only downside is that I wasn't able to find a brand new one on MT transmission, so far I'm loving the automatic, so convenient in traffic and still fun. Happy to join the FT86 club! Edit: Images not working |
