The 97 GSX is my daily driver so the snow tires will be going on soon and I'll be dodging crazy drivers on the icy Minnesota roads.

later,
Curt

It's on punk, the Max will own your yuppy puppy truck, you might just want to keep your tow strap attatched to the front of yours just to make it more convenient to yank it ya out.

Yeah, I know... It is too nice to be plowing through the snow with. Maybe next year.

I only have one car and cant afford another, plus..no garage! So she'll be hunting year round again...oh well, its fun in the snow. Only ran into the curb once and that was when I was driving normally, haha. Is ABS or no ABS better? I dont really know...my ABS was never working when I bought the car.

The Talon will be up and hunting soon as I get my transmission. The Grand Cherokee will be the main one though, as it loves the snow. If we get any in Oregon that is.
The only way to drive in the snow is sideways while using your drivers window as your front windshield!

ABS is better for those who hit the curb in normal driving. A race car should have ABS, or a freaking heater!
