Sitting real good Gabe!

 

Thanks Tony. I think I'd like it to sit about a half-inch higher in the front (the rear I can adjust since I have the adjustable perches back there).
The Steeda Sport springs I have in the front are known to sit about a 1/4" lower than advertised if used in a '11-'14 car with '05-'09 Koni Yellow struts, like I am doing, plus the extra weight of the supercharger brings the front down a bit more too.
So I think a set of GT500 front springs is in my future, since they're designed to work with the heavier GT500 front-end ...

 

Sounds like a plan bud!

 

a photo from the Father's Day car show in my home town of Mission last summer. It was so hot i had to find shade anywhere i could LOL!

 

Nope, Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 - basically the best snow/ice tire money can buy.

 

Wow now there's a mouth full...! Never heard of that tire manufacturer before.

 

Just sitting under cover for winter waiting for salt free/sand free and ice free roads

Got the car in May of 2012 and still haven't eclipsed 12k and 5k of that total was in 10 days that first year was heading to the east coast and back... I hang my head in shame that I have not enjoyed the car more

Too busy all summer riding the motorcycles..... 90k on this in 7 seasons

 

Great snow/winter tires.

Very well known in Europe

 

How about general salt filth with a coating of ice??

 

^ My car has twice that much crap on the sides right now. I could prove it with a picture, but that's just too embarrassing. I should be ashamed.

 

yeah mines worse now too lol

 

Much rather have my car rot away from sitting inside a nice dry garage than rot away from road salt lol.

 

They're clear enough for right now, but that will change soon enough.. Although our winters here in PA are nothing compared to what you get in Saskatoon, no doubt about that lol.

However my car never gets driven during winter and stays put in the garage until Spring.. I also suspend my insurance coverage except for fire and theft every December 1st and then have it reinstated on April 1st..

As I'm fortunate enough to have a beater for driving during the winter months

 

I know exactly what you mean, as I'm originally from Buffalo, NY but have lived in the Pittsburgh, PA region for the last 30 years.. Although it does get really cold here at times, Pittsburgh usually doesn't get a lot of snow when compared to Buffalo and the other snow belt regions lol.

So what part of PA was your brother born in ?

 

Freudian slip?

What's on your mind, young lady?

 

Very familiar indeed with the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area, right in the heart of the Pocono mountain region.. With your brother being born there, he also has the best of both worlds, as he's both a Canadian and an American citizen

 

So are you and your family originally from Saskatoon or did you end up moving there ?

 

Close your eyes if you don't want to see the horror!

This is my car after the small snowfall we had in NYC this weekend. Had to drive her through the snow on Saturday and today through all the slush.

 

That's so awesome how your parents met and eventually settled on Regina to begin raising your family.. Anyhow before relocating to Pittsburgh, I always enjoyed my visits to Canada and never forgot meeting so many fantastic people and also for all the great memories as well.. At any rate, I really envy you and perhaps someday I'll be able to somehow reconnect with at least some of those people whom I unfortunately lost touch with over the years and hopefully be able to come back to revisit and make some new memories in the process
