Philadelphia Car Meets
Hey AlwaysinBoost, you still selling those tires?? I am in need, I'm not a fan of sliding when doing a turn around the block lol. Why did you choose a wider tire btw.. I still have the stock rims on mine with some. Let me know if it's still up for sale.
Just got back from the hospital. No baby yet
. The roads are pretty bad out there so be careful! The hospital is 15 miles away so it was a fun drive 
People need to learn not to stop in the middle of a hill because everyone behind them will have trouble starting up again
. We took the mazda because the evo is hibernating this winter so I didn't put snow tires on. The mazda did fine except for the one hill incident.

Went out today and braved the roads with a civic. Was fine as long as I was going really slow. Slippery as hell. My friend was telling me about his traction control light going crazy in his car as he drove around in the snow. Saw a few SUV drivers powering out hard on left hand turns and fish tailing. But one sight I never thought I would see was a Subie Rex up on a concrete median. It was under a bridge, the one that links the KOP Plaza and Court parking lots together. The right rear door had an I-beam imprint on it made by one of the bridge support beams. Does AWD make everyone just a little too over confident?

Unfortunately AWD has a reputation for being invincible in the snow. Combine that with the "I own the road" mentality of a lot of drivers and you have a recipe for disaster.
I looked at the weather and it seems like it should be pretty much done late morning. I'm still planning on going if everyone else is.

I just got home around 8, we went down to the other house around 10am and worked there all day. The roads are pretty bad now, its passable but *hitty. We shoveled the driveway 3 times today, no snow blower for us.
Its a steep *** driveway too. Needless to say my back is completely broken... good thing I grabbed a growler of Avery Old Jubilation while out last night. 


My snows are completely shot, just no grip left in them.
Took these when we got home...

You can hardly even see the mini...

Mine never left the garage either. Anyone who wants to meet up locally PM me and we can setup a meeting place and drive down together. Dan you have my number so just call if you want to go at the same time.
Drove my sister to work in Levitown this morning, and the highways are really clean. I'm still down for the meet, so I should be there around 3. BTW, my car started that problem even on the oem coils, so I don't think the coils were the problem. SOmeone wanna take a ride with me later to diagnose it? And does anyone have an OBD2 scanner they could bring, I can't find mine!
I'm bringing my laptop and cable with evoscan too.
Erik, Dan is going to give you my number. Feel free to call. We're leaving my area around 1:45 2:00 and we should be at the Downingtown Regal a few minutes later.
