I would love winter if we got snow. We don't, so I don't like it. Wet and cold is no fun.

I hate it when it snows in New England. They put so much sand on the roads that is becomes a beach at every corner.

I didn't see snow until I was 22 years old. Has been all down hill ever since.

We had a couple inches last week, stayed for the day then melted. Not here in the city, just out in the country where I werk.

Today, I am going to claybar, wax, wipe all the brake dust off my sets of track/AutoX wheels, wrap them up, bring them inside for the winter and install the splash gaurds. I threw my all season tires on the car for the last time yesterday.

sorry for the rambling post.

I am thinking of getting another set of wheels for this winter. I have some already, but I will have to run a spacer to clear the calipers.

I had to cut my winterazation a little short today. It's about too hail and the winds picked up over 40mph gusts, so I couldn't risk being outside anymore.

I did it get washed and clayed some cone marks off the bumper and sides and threw some wax on those spots.

I should have taken a pic of how bad my 16x8 Rotas look after 4 nonstop years of horrid brake dust. They are looking pretty bad on the inside. I can't even use the inside sticky wheels weights on them anymore.

<u>When the weather is still nice</u> - make sure the whole car has a good coat of wax on it. Check.

<u>After my last track event of the year</u> - move the track tires down to the basement, and the winter tires up to the (unheated) garage. Check.

<u>Before the first time driving on snow, or when the weather starts getting pretty cold, whichever comes first</u> - swap the winter tires onto the car. Hasn't happened yet. If there isn't snow I have to drive on, I usually swap 'em on some time around the second week of December, and off around the second week of March.

Last week, I had to swap for winter tyres on the aRR, before leaving to work at 6 in the morning.

Snow has melted/rained away again now though.
All thats left is salty roads, wich make my car look more like NBP than CW.
