Hi guys,
Hate to sound like a car (or tire) salesman, but having snow tires is a BIG plus to have this time of year - especially if you live in Chicagoland and have a Blizzard working its way towards you! Just thought that's worth mentioning, as it makes driving in snow conditions much safer... - for you, and for ME!
Maybe the 1967 record - with 23 inches - will be broken tonight, but right now they say it may "only" be 18-22 inches Downtown. CBS Chicago News
Boy, am I glad that I bought winter tires a month ago!
Driving home in the snow was a blast today - constantly dodging all those morons that are still driving on their summer tires!!!
Totally irresponsible in this part of the country... but what can you do? I can't shoot them all, can I...??
Let's see how much snow I'll have to shovel off "ZStallion" (a.k.a. 'Black Beauty') tomorrow morning.
Looks OK now, but the night's still young...

My car has been in the shop in Chicagoland for the past 4 weeks. If it's ready tomorrow in 24" of snow they can hold onto it a little longer, like Friday after the plows clear all this snow.
The first thing I bought for my 545i were snow tires. Almost about the same time I bought its first tank of gas.

Be careful out there!

How do you people do it lol. We just had a nice little taste of snow a few weeks back here in Atlanta. While it was only 6-8 inches, it shut the city down for nearly a week. 5 million people, 10 snow plows. You do the math lol. Anyways, you will never, ever catch me living any further north! Misery to us southerners lol. And snow tires?! Ive got better things to spend my money on! Good luck guys.

I should have bought the ones that dig you out AFTER the Blizzard.... Epic Blizzak FAIL ... LOL
THE DAY AFTER:
I'm 'Up Sh*t Creek' without a ...snow shovel :-)
Good thing I gave my snow shovel to my neighbor when I moved into the apartment complex last month... Thought I would never need it again (...$#*#%%#$^^!!!!)
Well.... Looks like I'm not going anywhere fast anyways:
Snowday! (....yeah!!!!!)
Office is officially closed today. More time for the 5series board (...double-plus yeah!!!
