Winter sucks

Today I moved the fun cars into the back garage for storage over the winter. Booo!
Sometimes I wish I lived further south like most of you so I could enjoy driving fun cars all year. Thinking when my wife retires and my son is out of the house, we'll move to a warmer climate. For now we're tied to 3M Headquarters until she's done there...

Thats quite a few fun cars. Wish I had a second garage or even a first garage that size. Like you I park my nice ones for the winter. Its not too bad most of the winter. Just cold but there are a few weeks we can get some snow.

Meanwhile I'm still daily driving my Miata with 200TW tires on it...

Not the Miata's fault you can't make up your damn mind about buying a car hah.

Well played sir
My point was that I could still use these tires, I have a set of all seasons for what goes for winter here in the Sacramento area :ick:

Got summer tires on the STI. Probably won't go back for my WRX till after winter. We don't get much snow here anyway.

I haven't decided if I will throw the Blizzaks on this winter or not. I'm not driving to West Virginia every day anymore and my drive is mostly flat on main roads so I may not need them and may just rock the DSW06's through the winter.

One 4x4 with great tires (BFG AT K2), one FWD with great all seasons (Michelin Premier A/S), and one FWD that I need to do something about the tires soon.
I also have chains for the Jeep and the Volt. Need to pick up a set for the Kia after I get better tires on.
