so, for those of you man enough to drive your 8 year round, how did it hold up this week? for those familiar with the area it took me an hour to get from the corner of feder and alton darby to about 1/4 mile up renner wed, but i had no problems driving. i did stupidly back into a driveway to turn around and almost got it stuck, but i was able to coax lindsay out after a few attempts
on the worst days.

The Blizzaks are great. I took my wife to work in Dublin, then went home. I took 2 snow days this week as well as Monday (I'm not doing Mondays for the rest of the year), so I worked a grand total of 2 days this week! The bad news is I'm scheduled to work 5 days next week.
Oh well, I'll be off from the 21st through January 1st, so I'll survive.

hey ooksung. the blizzack lm-22 has treated me very well. ive got 18", but 17" will be much cheaper. as always, tirerack had the best price when i got mine, but if pep boys is still doing the buy 3 get the 4th free you might have better luck. you might also pick up a set in the buy/sell/trade forum.
you should look into them too brian, summer tires and snow dont get along!

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!
Bling Bang!!
Hey guys, I just am a chrome lover! Do you think the 20's will be overkill?
Also, looking to get the chrome strakes and thinking of black chrome for the front quarter side vents. Chrome strakes on top of black chrome vents. What do you guys think? Will that look good??

personally im not a fan of chrome, especially with such a bright paint job already. and i think 19s are pushing it, but all that really matters is do you like it?

I've only seen 1 set of 20s that I like on the 8, Duval Mazda show car.
More here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2958255
But this car is strictly for show. On the track, 19+ is overkill.

I saw one for sale at that Ford dealership on the corner of Sawmill and Billingsy. I stopped by after picking up the car from Byers, and took a closer look. Whoever fitted the kit did a horrible job because it was gappy all over. I wonder if it was the same one.

Check out this thread. Looks like they've been a little slow signing people up.

i used to have "gold member" status at mazdaparts, but they redid there website, and since then I've been trying to get back on. I tried again recently and it has been a while. I guess they dont want my business anymore, I wanted to get all weather floor mats, but I found them cheaper anyway at http://www.mazdaparts.org/ (not .com) also free UPS ground.
