My son woke up, looked outside and said "What the heck!?!?  Why is there snow!?  It's almost summer!!!!".  The only answer I can give him is "yea buddy, Wisconsin".

[Jdesign]

No snow here!

[KaiserRolls]

Everything is pretty much melted up here. Just need a few good rains to clean off the crap

[m42b32]

I'm hoping rain predicted for Sat/Sun is enough to really soak things. I'm thinking that'll be enough!

Edit: got caught in the rain today with it anyways. Was good fun. These wipers suck

Took mine out in the rain today too. Cold/wet was pretty entertaining

I resisted the urge to pull the e21 out of storage while I was there. I did take the snows off the compact though, so if it snows next week it's partially my fault, but I wanted to try on the style 30s that I picked up recently. So 90's.

They're wrapped in some 600 treadwear falken all-seasons that grip about as well as you would expect. Ride quality is much improved over the koseis, which is what I was going for (it's official; I'm old). Kosei K1s will be for sale once I clean them up and take some pictures, if anyone is interested.

I love the wheels and the side skirts on the car. The silver also looks great in that setting.

none of us have to get out of the cars

we will plan the route ahead of time and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Thanks. The blue color and the shiny metal stuff is what made me decide to stop there to take a picture. I have spent some time "working" on my photography (~4500 pictures taken since I bought my DSLR), but mostly I rely on luck and intuition. It seems to be working for me. For some reason my brain thinks this one should smell like a public pool.

I questioned if it was a public pool of some form upon initial inspection!

Photo looks great, those wheels are styled well for the car for sure.

I agree. I saw a bunch of cars on the freeway cruising together yesterday.

I saw a gray E46 M3 with CSL aesthetic enhancements while I was out for a cruise yesterday. Im not sure I will be participating in any group drives this year.

Are those thoughts related or are you rambling?

I asked myself the same thing.
