Hey when do you guys typically change out your summer tires? I'm going to be storing my car this winter but I want to drive the thing until the very last day! I'm thinking the stock summer tires will be good up until the temps are below zero.

I'm thinking to put the car away by the end of next week.

Freezing temperatures is definitely time to switch. With freezing temps come the possibility of snow and these tires may get a little scary at that point. Watching the Weather Network and it looks like it isn't too far away now. Although, realistically they aren't that good at predicting anything further than three days out.

Mine's being stored this Saturday probably. Planning to bring out my Monster AWD Celica out

can't wait!

Often see a Whiteout on Fairway in the morning at 8ish. Anyone here?

Fuck, my replacement tail lights did not even last 2 weeks before it started building up with water. This time the condensation hasn't even had a chance to build up, the damn thing is simply filling up with water!

Anyone else in the area having this problem?

Add some food colouring to it, and call it a mod. Might as well work with what you got.

Lol might as well fill the whole thing up with water to make it consistent.

I can't believe I'm the only one with this issue around here. When I first called the dealers about it they said that they had never heard of the issue.

df.dima · 10-24-2012, 11:10 PM

What dealer are you dealing with?

thorlius · 10-24-2012, 11:14 PM

One of Slarti or FBaxter had a bit of condensation when I saw their cars a couple months ago at the first (or one of the first) meetup(s) we had.

I had the same problem. Toyota ordered 2 new lights for me.

I need a service manager to approve the work and they work 9-5 like me, since the Cambridge one is just down the street I go to them at lunch.
