how bad of a beating does an auto-x put on winter tires? I assume it will be pretty rough on them.
They make more tires every day...

I did it on all seasons but was the only person of 45 without snow tires. The track was snow and ice covered so I cant imagine it being too harsh on them. The next one I go to will be with snow tires and I shouldve known better but you live and you learn

Not snow tires... Those are done in a production run with units forecasted then that's it, no more until the next season.

If it’s clear asphalt they’ll get chewed up relatively quickly.
don’t have to worry too much about snow/ice covered asphalt. -
Worked them a couple years ago - they are tons of fun. 10/10 recommend

The Chinese are fully in the HiFi realm(not that they already weren't). Good audio is getting cheap and cheap audio is getting good.
If you're interested in improving your listening experience but aren't looking to drop hundreds of dollars, there are a lot of good options out there.
These are amazing for the price($20), KZ ZST. And if you are looking for a better version of the previous, KZ ZS10 Pro ($50).
Bought both of them, both of them sound great. Going to return the ZST as the build quality and sound of the ZS10 is better. Not an "audiophile", just like to listen to music/media as best as possible(while not going broke).

I was really hoping this was an option to a cheap OEM looking Blaupunkt radio. Le sigh.

What's the one @straight6pwr has?
-
Its a Continental TR . The sound quality is meh (probably bad to an audiophile) , but it does match the vintage nicely and have bluetooth.

Happy Valentines day! (whatever that actually means).
Browsing Blipshift last night for the first time in a while and I felt proud to be part of a subset of people known as car enthusiasts. I scrolled through some clever and stunning shirt designs with witty captions and inside jokes and thought about what the average person would think if I wore the shirt and if it might strike up a conversation requiring me to try to explain something that ends up being a massive waste of both of our time. Things that only another car enthusiast would appreciate. The hobby itself is like a diamond, multi-faceted, complex, and intricate, but all joining into a single cusp, which is our passion for the machine, that unites us despite our different preferences.I just think its kind of cool.

Happy Valentines day! (whatever that actually means).
st. valentines was commonly associated with courtly love. (read: not Courtney Love). Courtly love was the deeds and chivalry by a knight to a lovely married women and the knight was actually not attacking the pink fortress. not too different from the relationships car enthusiasts have with each other.
that unites us despite our different preferences.
i do still like you, despite your choice of e46 over e30. happy valentines day.

I just learned that AC Schnitzer built a lifted e46 touring in 2001:

I need some type of ear protection that has music. I have ear muffs, but I need sound. 3M makes Bluetooth ear muffs but the sound is apparently subpar. So maybe a set of over the ear headphones would work okay but they’re not designed for sound reduction. I have read that noise canceling headphones aren’t really designed to cancel everyday sounds but more if a constant low frequency like you would find on a plane.
Any suggestions? With what would be better? Right now I’m leaning towards a pair of over the heat headphones from Amazon.
