Snow!

25" gtf front, 25 1/4" gtf rear.

15mm spacers front, 20mm spacers rear.

Mud flaps.







A guy called the police on me after I took those pictures in the parking lot.

Spoiling all my fun. 12" - 24" expected her in MA.

Yay no work tomorrow!

Pretty low, a couple more inches and they'd be dragging easily.

I just went out and came back again, snow is a lot deeper, probably about 6 inches on roads. These snow tires and quattro, as everyone already knows, is unstoppable. I feel like the car is more stable the deeper the snow.

That's awesome. So I suppose running flaps during summer mode is out of the question.

Probably, I think Alex might do it just to drag them. It can be done, but I don't know if I'd be able to tolerate the constant dragging.

Got more goodies today.



Ordered a VAG com a few minutes ago, need to get an alignment and do an oil change in preparation for my New Years extravaganza in PA.

Should I get a basket or a thule cargo box... I can't decide.
