Nothing wrong with that if you don't mind changing tires... you should be able to change all 4 tires by yourself in 15-20 minutes with the right equipments.

^^ Jerk j/k

I'm glad I'm lazy and kept my winters on. The funniest thing is that with that freak snowfall, you would think that people are use to driving in wet snowy conditions by now but turns out everybody turns into a newbie. The roads weren't even that bad but I saw a few SUVs on the side of the road. WTF!

well, I'm glad the weather has improvement significantly for the weekend... dry roads mean I can put some mileage on my car on the summer tires...

Some people can't drive on nice roads nevermind wet conditions (saw 5 cars in the ditch Friday morning at the same intersection)... Today, some moron in the an old 80s Accord was trying to run into the side of me on the northbound onramp from McKnight onto Deerfoot. He had the Yield sign and I was on the main free flow lane. He was obviously trying to beat me, but apparently he was not fast enough when he was at the Yield... we were side by side and he had to slow down to slot behind me... Normally, I don't react to such things but he had the nerve to honk at me, so I just gave him a 'wtf' wave. Yields means you have to slow down and proceed when it is safe to do so... some people.

Yes talk about idiots.....I got hit by a flying hubcap today...

Some idiot in an Accord (oncoming traffic) ran over a hubcap and sent it flying straight for me...the hubcap hit my bumper then bounced onto the roof...not sure if there's any damage yet, as my car is quite dirty...

I have no idea WTF the Accord guy was doing, he could have easily avoided it...argh...**** me off

It must be Accord vs RX-8 week... I had some SOB in one flip up a Dodge wheel center cap at me.. surprised it didnt break the windshield, it hit with such a bang.. I thought those things were plastic...?? Noticed the Ram as it skidded past my view spinning.. pretty cool actually if it wasnt on MY CAR!! The worst part is, I was at least 200ft back from the guy! Sheesh!

It was my brother driving today...and I noticed the hubcap on the ground in the oncoming traffic...didn't think the idiot in the Accord wouldn't try to dodge it or even slow down...and the guy happened to run over it just before the two cars were parallel...So the cap flew outwards and hit our 8 pretty hard.

There were quite a few cars around us that just basically stopped and watched the whole incident...needless to say though the Accord guy didn't even brake or slow down and just left...I'm starting to wonder if the guy was out to get me -.-"

It's people like that that could use an "accidental" tire iron upside the head from time to time. No respect for anything or anyone other than themselves.
