GTA - Winter Roll Call

I know there is already one of these threads under the 'appeaances section'

But I thought I'd make one here so all the GTA people know who to look for in the winter. Post your cars in winter trim, or if the case may be, your winter cars

hoser, i like it. looks pretty good, at least for a winter setup.

I get the pleasure of rolling on steelies. haha. and rusty ones at that. but the yokos wrapped around them will hopefully make up for how awfull the rims look. putting them on after work tomorrow, ill snap a picture then.

wargoose, what size/series tire is that? they look huge!

true...but i don't turn on the heater/seat warmer until the car warms up to operating temp...so while waiting for it to warm up, the covers help a bit (GF expressed her appreciation for them as well so +1 in my book )...i think they'll help with keeping the leather clean during the winter as well

Why not? The seats heat up way before than the circulation system... has nothing to do with the engine temp.

mmm...yea i guess your right, i've always been in the habit of just waiting until the engine is warm before i do anything lol, in my previous car, it seemed like even turning on the defroster made something bog down...first time i've ever had a seat warmer before as well, i'll try it out, thanks for the tip eng & greg!

They're just 215/55 x 17" on OEM Mazda rims. The shot blackens out the wheel wells a bit perhaps and makes them look bigger.

I'm on Fido. you can do that?

I'll tell you why I gave up on voicemail. I USED to have voicemail. I'd get like 2 - 3 voicemails a day. When I log on to the voicemail account (which uses up airtime) and check my voicemail, all I get are "crunch...... click".

so I just wasted my airtime hearing someone else hang up their side and record a 2-3 second long voicemail of nothingness. This happens often to the point where I said **** it. If you can't find me, that's just too bad. Leave me a text message which is far more useful than your "click".

do I sound bitter or what? haha
