looking for some studded tired for the 960 so i can do a little bit of rallycross out here,

would 215/70/r15 fit? I think it'll be awful close. hmmph.

Gonna be pretty tall. Stock was 195/65/15. That's both wider and taller than stock. Might fit. Might not. Wouldn't bet my paycheque on it...

just worked it out, 2" bigger,

i've got 205/65/16s on there now, and they're close to rubbing, take into account the studs and there's no way they'd fit without destroying the car if i bottom out. darn.

He meant well, was trying to clear a path for my sister's wheelchair so she can make it to the bus, just didn't think about where the snow was going.

I couldn't figure out the picture of the Volvo on Facebook, that's crazy! #-o Still, he meant well.

I used a snowblower next to mine at Christmas and it was a nightmare to clear off a few hours later. :(

the rental corolla was a gongshow on the snow/ice with the bald goodyears that were on it in near whiteout conditions. absolutely deadly, but, this so far may be my #1 pick, it felt really good going there, i really did enjoy it.

Absolutely booming again, with the way things are planned, there's a lot of money going in. My analysis says that so long as Met coal stays above 100$/t, the place will be the next fort mac, albeit with a shorter life. There have been some big takeovers, and there's a nice gap in power coming up. A bit risky, but I'm young, and losing some money early on isn't a bad thing when there's a huge potential for gains.

Basically, I really fell in love with the place. And I'm valuable to the place that I interviewed with, so if I can work it out, I may be headed there :)
