No, No, No, it's the 85 & 86 Bears.

This is the one that started it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJNC3dgreaU
The others (Rams) were just posers.

grats on the purchase! I'm from Lake Zurich too, so I'm sure we'll see each other driving around sometime.

Hey evolv friends...those of you who are running all seasons in the winter specifically...what brand are you using and what have your overall impressions been, both winter snow and summer? I have a friend with a speed6 (many of you met him at the Sycamore meet) and he is looking to purchase performance all-seasons - we've read all the reviews, but I know some of you - (Al, Mark, others) are running all seasons now, and I'd love to know your thoughts. Thanks.

Chris.

I have Pirelli's on the car at the moment. I haven't been that satisfied with their performance in the snow. If I was buying new tires today, I would get Continental ContiExtreme Contact. I've read some reviews and TireRack tests. They seem to perform well.

I Can come if you make the meet on friday.

Edit: Hey, Just thought of something...

After reading the last post by THM I remember going to an s2ki meet at Qdoba in schaumburg when i had my black Si. My black si that i sold because it never drove the same after ithad been in that accident.

I remember one of your guys came out in his silver RX8 with your logo on it. The guy was totally down to earth and I respected that. I was talking with him and he showed me his car, I thought it was awesome- I had to have it so I eventually bought the RX-8.

Sorry i'm not being super specific but i just can't remember his name. I suck at names.

Upgrading to the RX8 was definately the right move for me. I'll swing by sometime.

I have the same tires as Al. I did get them siped, so I think that helps a bit. I haven't had any trouble getting stuck. Sometimes the front end plows when you try to turn in the snow. I have to blip the throttle to get the car to turn. But that is because it is RWD. Didn't you say your friend has a Mazda6?
