Just put the new winter wheels/tires on.

Went with the Blizzak WS70 and MSW Type 14 wheels. They look a lot better than I thought they would.

Only 114 more days until Spring!!!

Not sure if this is true or not- would be SOOO awesome to get in there when we go to Canada for the Meet & Greet this year!!

General Motors of Canada opening factory doors to the public!
General Motors of Canada will open the doors of its factories in Oshawa, St. Catharines and Ingersoll, Ontario to the public before the end of 2011.

No specific dates have been announced yet, but the open houses are part of a broader initiative by GM in the United States to give the public, "the opportunity to learn more about the company's people, products and plants."

Sounds to us like GM wants to prove all that public money they were leant went to good use. Said Kevin Williams, GM Canada’s president and managing director: “These open houses are our way of showing our appreciation for the support we received and for the communities in which we operate.”

Since July 2009, GM Canada has announced over $1 billion dollars in investments in its plants. Oshawa and CAMI have recalled all laid-off production employees and hired 400 new employees. The St. Catharines facility will build a new transmission in 2012 and has a new engine planned for 2013.

Well Scarlett is away for the winter, put her away last night . As I was giving her her final scrubdown before her nap I walk by the right rear tire and something glimmers back at me. I look closely and guess what's sticking out of the tread. Yep another nail! I just replaced the passanger back tire for having a nail in in and now the drivers back tire has one. It's not leaking air and is in at a pretty good angle so maybe I'll be alright for now. With $160 for fluid change, $290 for back tire, $475 for storage fee this girl is killing me!
