Fun stuff. I decided to bail on driving to work today. Don't think I was gonna get down my street. Neighbours must've loved me firing up the blower at 6:30am.

So, how many asshats did everyone see in the ditch this morning?

Decided to work from home today after dropping my daughter at school, so I didn't see any carnage.

I was pleasantly surprised at how the snow tires handled the unloosed streets around me though. Never came close to getting stuck.

I've got Toyo GSI-5s on alloy rims. 205/55R16.

That's a nice beefy wheel, love it!

So how many of you guys are still driving your frs in all this snow?
I've never done rwd in snow before, I'm wondering how bad it can actually be..

[jvincent]

Mine is my DD, so it's going to be on the road all winter.

Today wasn't too bad, even on the snowy streets. I wouldn't even consider it without a decent set of snows though.

BTW. Called Bylaw on you Andre. LOL

I also ordered a MagnaFlow exhaust from Hottexhaust - pretty good deal with a promo coupon, $585 total shipped. It should be here this week.

Also looking at the OpenFlash header, but I must restrain myself, lol. Still need to buy tires, an oil cooler, and catch can in the new year.

I like that wheel!
I think you'll be happy with that exhaust. Good price too. I regret taking mine off in favor of the TRD system.

Oh noz! That wheel won't work on your car - it's made for a RHD vehicle...

GT5 online was fun last night.
Some Nascar drafting, some crazy TopGear fun (almost got a chance to take out pyxen at the cross-over), some good racing at Laguna, Lemans and Nordschleife. Enduro at Monte Carlo was fun but kept clipping or pushing into the barriers.

Love that Supra! The Calsonic Impul GT-R was okay, but pushed alot (and it is RWD btw). The McLaren MP4 is crazy fast, but also easy to loop due to the power if you put your foot in it too early. Volvo C30R and Renaultsport Megane we started with was pretty decent for Front-Drivers. BMW M3, Maserati GTS and Challenger SRT was a fun combo too.

I still like that Nismo 380, we'll have to try it again next week. We also need to test out the crazy ZondaR on a good course.

Who Showed:
From FT86club.com:

I posted on MCO if others want to join up, we'll see if anyone else shows up next week. We can run with up to 16 players I believe.
