Drove mine today. Passed Carl in his bumble bee but don't think he noticed me across the highway in Smithfield.

drove mine today as well! Was great to get behind the wheel again!

Downside is I noticed 2 drops of oil on the ground in the garage........my oil pan gasket leak must be getting worse :( I guess I have a few winter projects...

along with the dryer sheets on the inside i usually throw a couple of these in the inside and trunk to help keep it dry.

As for tire inflation. Its really up to you. I have stored vehicles with normal pressure and had no issues and have stored vehicles with high pressure and still gotten flat spots. IT is 100% dependent on the tire.

Yep, the whole town and surrounding area is dark again tonight. 15min to nearest gas station with power. At least the lines were short today. Got to keep the generator feed !
Blizzard past winter, Tornado takes out my power for 3 days pool and hot tub, Hurricane downs more trees takes out power for 3 days, Oct snow and I'm back on the generator !
And to beat it all got a call from my dealership to bring my car in to get the water bad replaced on the vert !!!!

Boy you poor Mass people have been taking a beating over the last year. I hope the weather eases off for the rest of the season for you all.

Nutbutt · 11-02-2011, 07:46 PM

Had to take her out today for a quick trip. 60 degrees do of course I took the top down ! Love those heated seats.

irocnroll · 11-03-2011, 08:34 AM

Just an FYI, the Pirelli tires that come stock on the car are fine driving on flat roads with snow. They do however have an Achilles heal.......hills. Managed to drive from Enfield to Vernon through windy back roads no problem. But once I hit the hill to my condo complex I was stuck. Had to call a wrecker to get flat bed towed into my parking spot.

A plus was Onstar covered the tow free of charge.......downside was it took 2 hours to get someone out due to all of the other people with issues calling for help during the storm. Got to watch transformers explode and trees fall during the wait though.

Drove mine again today, weather is just fine and in the 50s. Love being near the ocean....

Depends on how heavy your foot is and if you have the stock tune I bet....or if you have traction control off.
