Not at all. Just stood in a group chatting about the cars. Wish the snow wasn't on its way.

How many are slapping winter tires on? For me it is my DD so could be interesting. I will either love the snow drifting or scare the crap out of myself.

It's myDD aswell so depending on the severity of winter I might have to get some winter shoes

Sorry guys, obviously I didn't end up making it out. My car got blocked in the driveway at my place (blocked by my landlord's cars) so I ended up being stuck at home.

I saw a white FR-S with the Heffner rear plate cover this morning around 8:20am on the expressway (85) headed north. Looked like it was hypermiling in the far right lane. Not sure why you'd buy an FR-S to do that, but in any case, it was good to see one on the road for the first time in ages.

I just picked up a set of Roadstone Winguard Sport tires for my BRZ. I'm suppose to get my car in December, so says Gemini Motors. The stock tires are summer tread, so I'll have the dealership put them on before I take it off the lot. Sucks getting a new car at the start of winter...

Hard to look rowdy in a suit and tie. I came straight from work.

Good meet though. I had to leave a little early, but always good to get together with like minded people. It just makes me wish I had more cash for mods. Sal, every time I see your car I want to lower mine! It will have to wait 'til spring though.

Pun intended.

Wasn't me, but frankly, there are days that I'm too tired and I just turtle around assuming traffic allows for this. Can't be hyper driving it all the time.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

I was just thinking the same thing at work. They had an Argento with a full 5 Axis body kit and 19" wheels on display at work and I was thinking of how good that would look on my car until I checked into the price. Yikes! Even for just the spoiler - yikes! Rims and tires are never cheap, so, I kinda expected that.

I don't see myself lowering mine unless I go to adjustable coilovers. I have to clear the snow in the winter. If we get more than 5" of snow as it is now, my car will turn into a little red snow plow.

Went for a drive to get a car wash (trying to do it once a week) and had to pick up a bottle of single malt scotch that a friend special ordered. It wasn't a tonne of driving, but, at least got out for a bit. Absolutely beautiful weather.

With winter fast approaching, I am looking to find the best auto detailing shops in the Kitchener /Waterloo area. I am not looking for gas station car washes. I used to go to one in Cambridge, but, I live in Breslau - which translates into being between all of Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph while not being close to any of them (which is why I have kept the locale vague). I am just after a basic, but, high quality wash. It would be great if anyone here can chime in with the:

1. Name
2. Location
3. Price
4. Reason of why they are good

I think we must just be missing each other. Although, I work shift work with 2 weeks of dayshift and 2 weeks of night shift. I work at TMMC, so, Fountain is really the only choice. Where do you come from to get to the airport?
