Just out of curiosity, how many of you guys are driving your 8s in the winter again (i know this is a bit off topic)?
Since 8 is my only car I will be driving it around winter as well...

also, spotted my own car riding like a 4x4 again....gotta love that GS stock ride height. although the ride is nice and comfortable again. haha.

sure. the car was way better than i expected it would be in the snow/ice last winter. however, i put my suspension upgrades on early and we had one last snowfall before spring. i spun out coming out of my driveway and it was incredibly squirrely the entire drive to work. the car is too low and too stiff with that setup for the winter. its pretty easy to swap back. i bought all new mounts perches/mounts so its just a matter of removing the complete strut/spring assembly and bolting the other ones in, rather then taking the springs off the struts just to use the mounts on the old springs/struts.

Spotted a Black GT (Tinted) on Ottawa St near the expressway this evening and a silver one that sounded like it had an exhaust mod crossing King on Victoria downtown

Hasn't been washed in at least a month. It's just because it's yellow that it seems shiny. I wasn't going around the corner that fast... maybe 30 or so.

heh, may have been me again. I was just out for a cruise since I hadn't been in my car for a week! I shouldn't be abusing my car like that; not driving it...

That night I also spotted a blue one in the 'euro timmies' on Weber.

Lol... nah.. I don't really have a set start time at work. I had just installed the RB intake, so any chance I can get to redline to the speed limit (basically just first gear ) I take it. Plus I had the green though that intersection if I recall correctly... sooooo
